Default Who owns my car? built 2000 NBM z28, ultra Z hood ghost flames. NY?

i sold my car back in may, the guy that bought it sold it again a few months ago.
I'm really curious who owns it, if it has seen the track since the new motor etc.

pics can be seen here

All i know is the owner IS an ls1tech owner, and might be asian?

no im not asian (Im Hispanic Latino, whatever) I live in queens NYC and i picked up the car in late june early july of this year. I think the clutch is done its been slipping like crazy I bought it since i dont have my TA anymore. Great car I have to say. I have a few questions about the mods shoot me a PM and we can talk. Got it dynoed with the clutch slipping it put down 369hp and 368tq. Havent taken it to the track yet i wanted to make sure it was broken in real good and i want to get a good set of tires first. Drove it from IL all the way to NY but i get real bad gas mileage in the city like 10mpg! ouch.

the clutch/flywheel i put in at the same time the motor went in- which was right around 43000 miles.
The clutch before that was put in 2k miles before i put the motor in, and that was down to the rivets when we pulled it out.

So based on that- i would stay away from spec 3 clutches, the car likes to eat them up.
and as for gas mileage- i was getting really decent mileage out of it, like 270 off a tank just in the city. But i never drove it without letting it warm up, I used to shift it before the exhaust got raspy (2200 if i remember correctly) and drove like an old woman in town.
