Default Cts-v purchase advice specific vehicle

Guys I'm looking at possibly trading my TT cobra for a cts-v plus cash. Wanted your opinion what this one is worth. Also can you autox ctsvs and how much power can the trans handle? This car has the gforce 9 inch with a strange center section 4.30 gears.

Here is all the info and pictures on it.

Pm me with your opinions please trying to make a decision

24 k aint bad. You will need a better clutch, that monster stage 3. Worst thing i put on my V. Also those 4.30 gears are going to have to go. 1st gear in that car is useless. With that low of gear id launch in second for a drag race haha. Is nice having that 9" rear though. Nice car. Dont know how much your mustang is worth...

So is it actually worth 24k though my cobra worth about 30k at least 1000whp 30k miles crazy condition. He's offering me money plus the car. Not sure how do these ctsvs handle I want to do autox for fun.

I think its worth about that yeah. Hell id love to see the detailed mod list. Lot of work done to that car. Alot! That rear end kit goes for 6,000$ + . I know nothing of mustangs so....yeah. i would love to know what he is running for trailing arms with those 10 inch wide rear rims.

So what do you guys think this car is worth? He doesn't know what the compression raio is. Wonder what it is sock ls6 bottom end with these dart 225 heads if I got the car I'd consider a rear mount setup that's why I ask.

Also is there anything undesirable about this car?

The heads def raised a red flag. Either it is not an ls6 bottom end. Or they are not the 225's. Besides that clutch and gearing i dont see much that is undesireable about the car. Get a detailed parts list from him and post it up.

I dont know about Dart heads but usually that size head (225 intake runner) will only fit the 4" bore, and not the ls6 3.9". I could be totally wrong, again I do not know anything about Dart heads. The valve is the real key, Im not sure how big the intake valve can be.....?
