Jan,
I re-read my post and I hope that I didn't appear to imply that your car wasn't WORTH (and likely cost) more than some "original factory" GT5-S cars. Certainly, as you note, in many respects it is much better. A fantastic car (as all yours are) to be sure.

Ha ha, never any wrong implication Mark. There are always good things to say for both stock and modified cars. I like em both ways, but after owning my orange L for many many years, I eventually was drawn more into the next level of craziness (as long as the build & modifications are good). I was just suggesting to Agustboy who began the thread what he may want to look into if he desires to build one with fenders, high output FE engine, bling bling, etc...you know how it goes, never endless mods once you start. If he is in a smog free area and wants a beefed up engine to drop in it, then an original 5S may be the way to go and then tinker with that. I just figured from his Murci photo that he may like extre power with it. Otherwise just buy a real 5S and enjoy it as is, since it does have some respectable power too.
Looks like Julian has a nice lead. Just depends on what level he would want to build it too and how deep his pockets are. I presume its the yellow 5S for $40K.
