It's nice, but they are asking a bit much. If you are interested in an ls1 you could get one for that price.

WOW that is expensive and if something goes wrong with that optispark be ready to shell out about 500- 700 just to repair it. And those go out about every 2 yrs. Just get a 98-2002 Ls1 for that price. Cheaper to work on. Trust me ive had both.

There are many cars in the 8999 range that you are looking for.

The opti is hit and miss. You should be able to have that Z for like $6,500. Otherwise, pass on it. Whether you'd be better off with an ls1 or lt1 depends on what you are going to do with it as far as mods. If you don't think you are going to get serious with some engine work/power adders you need to get the ls1.

Unless you are a masochist like me and continue to have an LT car as your primary race car.

yah i agree with the guys above, you can get alot more car and newer for that price..guy on here is selling a pewter Z-28 for about a grand more..I see same cars like that go for around $5K obviously he's trying to get to much for it..keep searching. i picked up a 2001 SS with 40K miles cheap, just got to be patient. Good luck on the search!
