Default Out of forced induction game

I will be parting my car out starting in the next few days. I had it listed for 20k but got nothing but tire kickers. I am tired and bored with the car hobby and going to do something new. Look for my thread in the parts for sale section if you think you might be interested in something.

I predict in 5 years 9 sec street cars will be VERY common thanks to turbos

You will be back be back, They all come back!. and when that day comes you will be welcomed the same way a drug dealer welcomes back a junkie that can't kick the habbit. Good luck in your
new adventures

I can relate to the tire kickers.......besides no one has any BIG money these days that they want to part with it. Wrong time to be unloading a car 'complete'.

2001ws6vert- you will surpass me once you get everything dialed in. I dunno what it would run if I was on some slicks and leaned on it out of the hole and up top.

That's a bit of a shocker.
You Just get bored of driving it?
I'd wish mine ran but it hasn't moved since I tried to put the th400.
The guy who put the rmvb in it screwed up.
