Smile LS1 Buyers Checklist - What to Look for on the Lot?

I'm going to look at a LS1 T/A tomorrow and was wondering what would be some things to look for. This car in particular is a 6spd non-ram-air car. 55k with new clutch at 45k.

Thanks in advance.

I would be curious as to why it got a new clutch at 45k. Things I would look for: oil pan/rear main leak, rearend pinion seal leak, signs of nitrous being used by previous owner or heavy track use.

Ad states because: due to bad slave cylinder being replaced

. Also make sure that it doesn't smoke, everything works, drive out fine, and no dummy lights.
