Yes, I believe someone on this forum did buy it, but I can't remember who it was. I think he is a relatively new used. I'll see if I can find the link to the post where he mentioned he bought Dan's car.
My brother bought it a couple of months ago. its a very nice car, nicely done up inside and out. The car is wicked fast!! Makes me want to get the evo s/c.
The only gripe he has about the car is the piggyback ecu unit that tpc installed. I'm thinking about taking it to evo and have them rewrite the software . The car is running too rich right now, and the only way to make that change is with the giac software. Or else i would have to send the entire ecu to tpc and have them tune it.

Not to mention there seemed to always be a thread or post within a thread complaining that Dan (Vivid) misrepresented items (ie, wheel offsets) or never reponded to question or gave actual facts to support his claims of hp increase, etc.
Personally , I have nothing against Dan but I tried to do business with him once and I just felt like he was about the $$$ over the customer. I was able to secure my products cheaper elsewhere.
I'm guessing Dell hit the nail on the head. Online answers were elusive and the one time I called to make a purchase Vivid did not seem to be very knowledgeable about the product in question (I did not buy from them).
Well, I was going to mention some of the issues that Dell and Ray mentioned, but since I personally hadn't done any business with Dan or Vivid Racing, I felt that my information was "second hand" so I refrained from from stating anything further.
