10 second '02 SOM WS6 Trying to decide which direction to go - keep as is, continue modifying, or sell and get something else.
Car is a 2002 Trans Am WS6 in Sunset Orange Metallic with two tone camel interior bought with 58k miles in 2010 and after bringing it home installed the following:
FLT Level 5 trans with Yank SS4000 converter
Moser 12 Bolt with Wavetrac and 3.73 gears
Spohn driveshaft
UMI subframe connectors, torque arm, rear arms.
KYB AG-X shocks/struts
AEM analog UEGO
Aeroforce Scangauge
SLP flo-pac and line lock
Kooks 1 7/8 headers and catless y-pipe
Magnaflow cat back
Weld RT-S 15x4 front and 15x10 rear with M/T SR front and 275/50 DR's rear
B&M trans cooler
In 2012 at 63k miles I installed a GM crate LS376/480 but swapped out the cam for a 228/232 Comp cam and FAST 102 intake/throttle body. Also a Lingenfelter 58x-24x converter.
Car runs 10.85 at 122 with a 1.44 short time at 3820lbs. Full street car with everything working (a/c, cruise control, radio, windows, ect). Currently has 69k miles.
What do you think?

Keep it.
It's been posted many, many times here over the years that these heavily modded track cars bring very little return on the investment. It actually hurts re-sale in many instances since the market is so thin.
Some unreal (just gorgeous) machines with half your mileage could not bring decent $$. $30,000 built cars that couldn't sell for $12k. The owners would hope for $17k or $18k and no one called. Not even offers. The ads just languished.
The one intangible that no one can determine is that one certain buyer out there may be looking for exactly what you have and be willing to pay top $$ for it. It happens, but rarely. It never hurts to try an ad, just don't expect anything.
