Tell him you're his brother, and he should keep it in the family and sell it for $5k with the stipulation that if you ever sell it, he has first crack at it for the 5k he's selling it to you for.

I honestly don't think so. all of this is less than 3 years old. 5 at max, and he rarely drives it. Engine and drive train is basically new. (non-stock motor)
Headers
block
pistons
crank
valves
mainfold
exhaust
Heads
Transmission
Rear End
EFI
Brake Lines
Discs
calipers
drag radials
Wheels.
edit; He was running a ProCharger at 10PSI (he's the lead machinist at ProCharger) but got tired of the power breaking parts. So he basically started over with a new motor, replaced the guts for more torque, and went naturally aspirated, put in a manual 6sp, new suspension etc
hasn't driven it much in this configuration because he mentioned he wanted to tune it before selling it. But said something of the particular ECM being older and hard to tune. I know he had a laptop he used to plug into it and we would break many laws dialing it in.
