Looks like $9500 to me at this point. You guys will get some money out of it for sure. My friends have theirs putting 315hp to the wheels at low boost with a built motor. It's a bit of a handful even on Hoosiers.

That was similar to my experience, too. Ours doesn't crank out quite that much power, but I found it to be a handful (though fast) in autocross. However, on a road course it is actually very predictable and not too difficult to drive quickly.
Man, I remember going to Factory Five with the GRM family and some local forum members to check out the prototype. Now it's all grown up and ready to leave the nest! Good luck with the sale, guys!
In reply to Ed Higginbotham:
They are still working out the cooling issues before they tune it for more power, but yeah, apparently throttle lift oversteer is a thing with mid-engine cars.
They also will probably try to fit 315 Hoosiers on it.
Seven hours left.
I'm going to guess that it goes for around $25k at the end.
About 1 hour left. Sitting at $16,000. Someone's got an amazing deal if it goes for this.
10 minutes to go. Here's where it gets fun.
$21.5k...
I watched the timer jump from 1:30ish back to 3:00 several times. ??
WTH is wrong with their timer? Is it just me, or is it resetting itself repeatedly?
In reply to bravenrace:
The auction ends 3 minutes after the last bid. They can keep bumping it up forever.
In reply to Toyman01:
Oh, didn't know that. I'm not going to watch it forever...
It looks like a bid in the last minute or so resets the timer, allowing for more bidding.
$24K and another 3 minutes.
It just reset and someone put in 24k and 24.5k 10-15 seconds after it was over.
$24,750.00
It's like Groundhog Day over and over.
I'm betting every computer at GRM World HQ is on that page and clicking reload often. 
Maybe....

Yeah, we were torn between cheering it on and a few of us hoping it would stop so we could win the office pool :))
FYI, Ed won the pool--he picked $25,500. Sadly for him, none of us put any actual money on our bets. But he's got bragging rights.

I was pretty close with my around $25k guess.

Congrats to all involved.

If this was the Price Is Right, Ed wins!
