Who hasn't driven a boosted car hard? No one of course. Don't get it.

Don't get it! From what i know superchargers usually give out around 75k, but you never know.

Man the SS/SC cars will be beat to ****.

Probably a clutch has/needs to be replaced. Not a good car to buy used. Too risky with 80k miles

there are plenty of members on here with a high mileage ss/sc.... A ss/sc will not give out if its given proper maintenance and if thats the case you will be fine... Drive the car see if the clutch is bad that might be the only thing.... But a clutch is easy to fix so its up to you bro...just drive it around for about 20 mins and if its ok then buy it you will find out early if somethin is up... check boost if its stock it should be 12.5 if its stage 2 anywhere from 15lbs to 16lbs so forth...

It is really up to you, but after driving mine for 83000 KM and having constant problems and NOT abusing my car I would really recommend not buying the car! Good luck though!
