JBH has a video on his Youtube of it, but Kinja doesn't want me to have that video.
Fixed the video, and stuck it in. Credit for the video goes to fellow Opponaut "jbh."

It does have some mods, I'd say it's probably worth the asking price.

"This Vehicle is tastefully modded with various powder coating , protective clear bra all around, Valentine 1 + Laser interceptors, Meisterschaft valve controlled exhaust ( Switch between Loud & Quiet) and much more."
That doesn't equal to $11k over top NADA value. I'm sure someone would be willing to pay it, but don't expect insurance to cover that price.

ALSO:
S8
CURB WEIGHT 4586 lbs. LENGTH 16 ft. 7.3 in. (199.3 in.)
E60 M5
4,090 lb
191.5 in
I believe the S8 has a slushbox
So your choice is correct. Smaller, lighter V10 car with Manuél or larger and heavier slushbox car.

But if spending your own money then go E60 M5 to get V10 pleasure

Is it illegal to wear a racing helmet on public roads?
Because a roll cage is dangerous if not wearing helmet
Brian Silvestro

08/23/2014 at 21:31 | 0 |
Yeah I know... It's probably legal. People wear helmets when riding motorcycles!
Manuél Ferrari

Dude if it is then we need to one day own a street legal race car and drive it around on the weekend in our helmets. That would be hilarious.
The only remaining risk would be death by burning if you got in a bad accident and the car caught fire and you couldn't get the harness off. On track there are safety people to come get you out.
Only way to avoid that is drive very carefully and pray..

Goddammit, now I REALLY want to strip my car out and put a cage in. But that wouldn't be as awesome in a FWD hatchback. I want a sports car.

I GOT IT!!!!!!
You shall add a stripped out but street legal Alfa GTV as soon as possible! It will have a full cage. You will wear a helmet at all times when driving it. You will be the local Stig in your area. And a national legend on Oppo and FP.
Speaking of which the old man's new Ghia has a lot of rust. He wasn't able to inspect it before buying it. I was talking to him about it today and he said he knows how to deal with the rust and that it doesn't scare him. So I told him that I've been doing some research on GTVs and that he should buy one and restore it since he is not scared of dealing with rust and the values are going up.
His response was "this is interesting. Look for cars for me to buy and fix up"
SUCCESS!

Never viewed the S8 as a pimpmobile, unless this is like the movie, Taken!
In all honesty, i think it all looks pretty nice, aside from the tacky red wheel bits.

People never learn that mods don't add value, no matter how expensive. V1? 350 bucks. LI? 400-700. MS active exhaust? That sure as shit isn't 10 grand.
So yea, cracking pipe.

Tastefully modified my ass. Being sold so the seller can invest his money in cochlear implants.
Rumble is nice. Raspy can be nice. LOUD RASPY SHIT LIKE THIS ISN'T.
I'd love a louder exhaust than my wagon's stock exhaust, but this steps beyond a boundary.

an E60 can easily be made equally as loud as this S8, in fact there's a black M6 that prowls the UWS that possesses some extreme loudness.
