You are kidding, right? If I had 15 grand in mt hand, I would be putting it in yours. If you are serious, you will sell that in less than a week.

Wow, $16k would be a steal. I remember when I was shopping for an LS1 car (a few years ago), I was trying to find a quick car 'turn-key'. I had my eyes on a high 10 second car for ~$20k. That was with a 360ci motor, TH400, and spray...

I think it'll be sold within a week also. Heck, if you were closer... (ouch! who's that hitting me in the head? oh, hi honey! ouch! ouch! ouch!)

I think it's a good deal too. I let mine go for $12,500 and it had run 10.2 with a bad fuel pump. It did not have that kind of money into the engine though.

you gotta do this now don't you? after i just went out and got a high mileage ls1 car and just put 10g's into the motor(382ab) and some other things. If i would have known this, I would take yours in a heart beat. ALWAYS A MINUTE LATE with this crap I remember buying my '98 Z a couple years ago a month before Hacker Joe sold his flamed ride from the GM High-Tech Performance article!! I think you could definitely get more. All depends on if you want to wait that little bit longer for someone really serious in racing(like me) to come along. Plenty of us out there.

Tim,

What's happening man?

Super vette, huh? Still have it. Thinking of selling it and doing something else.

Haven't been to BR in a long time. Might have to come visit and see what's changed.

Ryan's car looks interesting. Think it can run with yours?
