Sold the LT1

Sold the LT1 Well, I sold my 1994 Z28. It was quasar blue A4 with 70K on it and I was just starting to mod it (catback/cold air/3.42's so far). I've been struggling with the idea of selling it for a while because I just had too many projects and the modding was going extremely slowly due to trying to spread out the money too much.
I offered the car to my brother, who has been looking for a good car to start modding, and he snatched it up. I feel good about him buying it as I know he didn't get a lemon and I know it went to a good home. Plus, I'll still get to help mod it up as it seems like his plans for it are pretty much the same as I was going to do.
I'm sure he will get on here at some point, but I think the basic plan is to toss on some Nittos and then baseline it at the track as it sits (went 14.30 @ 98 mph stock with 2.73's, and dynoed 230 rwhp and 273 rwtq). After that it'll probably get headers, electric water pump, and 1.6 rockers with springs. After he dynos and track tests it again it'll get a good size stall and a cam (probably CC306 or something comparable). We'll keep you guys updated.
Sad to see it go, but excited about having more money for my other 2 cars, and glad to see it go to a good home.

Any plans for something else in the future?

LOL, the LS1 car runs 11.9 @ 117 on motor and I just put a 100 shot on it. Also, I bought it in 2004 with 3,800 miles on it, so it's about as close as I could get to buying one brand new. I'm more attached to it for that reason.
I really bought the LT1 to have a toy to drive when the 02 is being worked on, and then I ended up picking up the G8, so the LT1 didn't get driven as much as I would have liked. It was a tough decision, but one that had to be made.
On a side note, when my brother payed me he gave me $1000 of it in 1 dollar bills and $500 of it in 10's and 5's (the rest as a check), lol. Now I have this big bag of money sitting in my room, lol.

LOL, yeah it's awesome because there's almost always someone to help work on a car or cruise with.
PSM has actually run a faster time at the track, but I haven't tested my nitrous kit out yet so that will probably change soon.
