If it's dealership I doubt they expect to get that much. 85k is the reserve, they just want people to bid as high as possible so they can make some sort of profit...or maybe they are dumb and expect 85k

I'd pay it, it's even got "STAGE TWO LS1 HEADS FEATURING FERREA VALUES"

The Ferrea Values alone are worth $60k.

...plus it comes with a Colgon bra !

On the dealership webpage it's listed for $8,200 probably a typo

Sharp looking car. The guy will probably be hard pressed to get $25K. Shame really, but, that's just how it is.

Take a good look at the Dyno sheets.
The curves are indetical just shifted up!
I am not talking similar exactly identical!
What is the probability of that happening?
Something is fishy here.

That car is not even 10 miles away from me. They have been trying to sell it for 85k for quite a while now. My friend just bought a 98 z28 for 1/10th of that at around $8500. He called and asked about it and when they told him the price he laughed and hung up the phone. They are serious.
