Default Finally getting another ls1!

Hey guys, its been 5 years since I got rid of my 02 z and I am now finally buying a 99 ss Saturday. Originally got rid of the Z because it was automatic, red, 135k miles, and a guy with a 1970 chevelle wanted to do a straight across trade and at the time a old muscle car just sounded more appealing.


The car im buying on saturday is as follows:
Pewter Metallic, 6spd, T-tops, leather. 2nd owner. 56,480 miles right now. Was bought it in 2004 with 40k miles on it so it just sits in my garage.

Modfications:
Boyd Cottington Smoothe II wheels. 18x9 front, 18x10 rear. Brand new
Eibach pro kit lowering springs
Fast Toys cold air intake
Z06 cutch
B&M short throw shifter
Hooker long tube ceramic coated headers
Custom made true dual 2.5" exhaust. with cat delete.
A-pillar gauge pod with Pyrometer (EGT) gauge and fuel pressure gauge

It also has a 150hp shot NX setup with a bottle heater and remote bottle opener. This is mounted in the spare tire compartment. Said he has only ran one bottle through it and never been down the drag strip.
It also has an a/m CD deck with iPod hookup, Boston Pro 6.5's up front and a cheaper set of Boston's in the back. It has an Alpine Type S 10" sub and an amp that powers it.

Just wanted to make sure you guys concur with my decision that this is a good deal at $9500. Oh and ran a carfax on it and everything checks out!

Haha, I'm going to look at an 01 SS this weekend and was thinking the same thing. I guess it depends what the difference in payments will be.....

Congrats...

Oh and I recently moved to Las Vegas from Phoenix where the ls1 community is pretty decent size. Can anyone give me some insight as to how it is here?
