Unfortunately mods increase of the value of car for pennies on the dollar You really have to look for the right buyer when selling a highly modified car. If the car has a cage in it, the value drop radically. I would guess low to mid $30K.

the car has no cage in it i have not got to run it with the new set up to much hp for the bfg's last year it ran 11.2 at 133 with the ls6 and a 175 shot so its not going to hook up with the 350rw i added thats why i was looking at cars for sale that are allredy to race i have the hp and a nice *** car but it needs a good diff and some wheels, et streets and a cage so i gess i need to just keep puting more $ in it i dont think that ends with a car that makes 845hp

i have to be honest, i would not pay much more than 30k. 33k tops. its not because of the car itself, EB is the best color IMO, and the engine alone is nice... but the 300 shot of nitrous you are advertising is a HUGE turnoff to a lot of people. even knowing a car has been sprayed would make me walk away.

plus, you really shouldnt advertise your car as an 845rwhp car, because the truth is its not. its a 500+rwhp car, with nitrous. not trying to flame, just giving you a different perspective.

you still have a badass car man... EB Z06 was my number 1 choice when looking, but quicksilver and pricing got the best of me and i settled. i dont plan on selling mine though... ever. so when the time comes, im just going to repaint it electron blue

If I had to take a stab at an estimated value I would say something like 30k or so. Mods do decrease the value but you may get lucky and find someone who likes the way your car is built and sell it for what you want....you never know.

Ditch the nitrous system and then try and sell it. Dont mention the nitrous and it will bring more. Most Corvette buyers arent intersted in N2O and think if it ever had it the motor or tranny is about to go.

Why not change the odometer while you are at it. Both are equally dishonest and wrong.

Just my $.02....I think the car would have more appeal by simply using the 550 rwhp N/A as opposed to the 800+ with a 300 shot. That being said, I believe in full disclosure when it's time to make a purchase like this and I would certainly want to know more about how many times you hit the bottle on it.

As for pricing, if you could find the right buyer (and hopefully he isn't completed turned off by the idea of a 300 shot screaming through the motor) you should be able to get low to mid $30K's for the car.
