this is the ad for it.. i drove the car, runs great, definetly needs a good tune. dont run great when cold, warms up a lil and its perfect (tries to stall when cold).

2001 Z28 Red w/ medium gray cloth interior. Stripper Model. Hard Top. 6-speed. Excellent Condition. Non-Smoker/Garaged kept. Made 400 rwhp w/ staock manifolds and cats.
A/C, AM/FM w/ CD. The car has run a best time of 11.68@119 in the 1/4 on drag radials.

-LS1 Edit w/ Cable and Auto Tap w/ Cable

also has ported TB. engine only has 18k on it (stock engine got hydrolocked thanks to a cold air intake).. car has 33k on it.

stock tune did 402 rwhp. ls1 edit (i have no clue how to use it, neither does owner). owner is selling cuz he needs a truck to tow his trailer and cant afford both.

If you want me to run the carfax, just email it to me. It'd be much easier.

Jay was telling me about this car. I'm sure he pushed my car off on you. It's nice that you are getting edit with the car. Let me know how it turns out for you.

sounds like an alright deal. id say its a win/lose situation. Id look a little more into it than just, "are these mods worth the money?" sure, thats about $800 in software alone. but who built the motor? and how long is it going to last? anyway, if you trust the owner, and are familiar with contract law, then id go for it. its the sellers obligation to disclose all information to you, but its also your job to check it out. id take it to a speed shop somewhere and pay them to check it out...
