It was owned by Burnyzz speed shop in Ocala Florida. Owner bough car new, sent to RSI for TT kit then sold the car. From what I know, the bugs were worked out and it was a good car. He buys and sells cars for a living and had it up for sale almost immediately after getting it back from RSI. I don't know what he sold it for, but this appears to be a pretty good deal for someone wanting a TT gen V.
Only 700 miles? That's crazy.
yeah wouldn't touch that with a 2000 foot pole
Somebody needs to adjust the front of that hood before listing it.
Same here, wouldn't touch it if it was $20 - $30k cheaper.
OK I found it...

Great looking car, saw it a few times over at RSI while they were building it. Some incredible work done to it.
So why the negative comments on it if all the bugs were worked out? Seems crazy someone would put that kind of money in it and it only has 700 miles on it. Crazy!! If I was in the GenV market right now it might be tempting.....
Isn't this the second time Elite has had it for sale (making the next owner the 3rd owner)? The first time with 200 miles (looks like the photos are from the first time) as they state the mileage is now 700 miles.
RSI has quite their own reputation.
I don't "buy" that someone bought a TA for $95k, dumped $50-100k or whatever into a TT, then sold it a few hundred miles later at an impressive loss. Fools and their money, but let's be honest.
Screams "run fast" on all accounts.

The one that was recently for sale went to another shop building a TT setup.
I would say this car has already had (2) owners....the pics of the Viper on Elites website show 200 or so miles on it and I think that was taken back when elite first got it in Feb. If you go to their facebook page, sometime in March he has a pic of (2) orange Vipers, twin turbo cars, being delivered, sold to two different people in the same town. One of those cars is the orange TT RSI viper. So that would be the second owner, now I am not sure if the second owner actually titled the car though, he might not have and just drove it around for 500 miles and then gave it back, in which case it still might show only "one" owner but I would bet my life it has been in a couple of different hands. But now it is back at elite though and he is selling it for a second time and it shows 700 miles.
RSI = Hennessy = XVipers.
FWIW... There's a lot of negative info on the alley regarding RSI. From what I have read I wouldn't let them work on my lawn mower.

I wouldn't touch that car. Whoever buys that needs to plan on fixing all the shit that RSI undoubtedly fucked up.
RSI ? No Thanks
Judging by the negative comments of the general public on here, I wouldn't give RSI or an RSI vehicle a try.
But playing devils advocate here, in the Lambo world, no matter which house did the turbos, Underground being the most popular for example, all the big turbo builds tend to get sold off almost immediately. Which is crazy after putting tens or even hundreds of thousands into a build, only to sell it for a loss, almost immediately.
Want a budget twin turbo Lambo? Wait a little bit, an owner with a freshly built one will unload it for a loss. I don't understand it, but happens perpetually.
At first, this thread made me....
But now after reading 2 pages of skid marks I feel....

My guess is some of these owners get the hell scared out of them after they actually drive a 1000+rwhp car.
is anyone close enough to Elite to go check it out in person and take a test drive in it. I've read a ton of negative stuff about RSI but I would like to hear from a member if the car actually runs good or bad.
