the price is a little ridiculous, but if I had the money I would have definately would have bought it. I dont know how you can have such a baddass car and not drive it. I would understand if he was getting more than he paid for but he bought a car never enjoyed it and going to sell it for probably less than what he paid. makes no sense , Im just glad he is selling it and letting someone do what the car was made for.

Nice, but I'd have to say the price is way too high because it's not a CETA. Had it been, then I'd be more suseptable to agree with the seller. Had it been a Formula, that's a different story, but seeing as it's different, it'd need to have all the options.. TA's are much more common.

That car has been for auction before, at least 2 other times that I know of. Ain't nobody paying for it while it's that highly priced. I think first time around he was starting it off at $45K.

Yea I saw this. I almost made my friend buy it, but his dad wouldn't let him because he's uber rich and is a car-elitist who thinks all Pushrods are primitive pieces of ****. He said "i'll never get you a Pontiac, plus it's a pushrod, which sucks" but then his dad offered to buy him a new E92 M3. He'd rather pay tons of money for the M3 than get his kid the cheaper american muscle-car that his sons wants.

Have the M3 line up against a LS7 equipped car.

By definition, pushrod design IS "primitive", but it's in no way inferior or inadequate! He just doesn't want his son to ruin his "I'm a smug, rich *** hole, look at my garage full of BMWs" image.

Tell him, to let his dad buy the BMW, then sell it, buy a Firebird Formula WS6, and transplant a LS7 with a 6L80E and a 9in. Leave it a nice daily driver except for those 3 things I mean, other mods are alright, suspension and stuff, but leave it a car, not a full out drag car, running slicks all the time. That ruins what a Firebird is all about!

haha thanks, guys. Yea seriously. But his dad would be very pissed if he sold it for a Trans Am. Although, if I was offered a new E92 M3 I would take it, too. Those ******* are gonna be quick!
