I have 2001 z28 a4 with 86k o. The clock only mods are on my sig.. I want to rebuilt my tranny and put aconverter in it, cam my car. I've got the cash for the rebuilt and he converter sitting in my garage.. My car has and will not see the track only a street car.. Now my debate is wether my car has too many miles fr me to do the mods and not be as reliable. My options would be to sell it get another ls1 car with less miles. But this would set back my moding a bit due to the newmpayment. Or I could just mod my car as is now with the current miles. I do have some one a bi interested in my car dont k ow I it will go through or not... Any input will help...

There is others in the forum that started modding their cars with way more mileage on their cars. I would just mod the car you already have.

You're already planning to rebuild the trans, and that's most of the battle right there. 86k miles on an LS1 engine is nothing, if it was cared for well. The trans would be my only real concern, but you're going to address that anyway.

I would just mod it the way it is. Take care of that trans and throw a 3600-4000 stall in there. The trans thats in my car has 93k and I just installed a 3600 stall the other day.

PS. You shouldn't leave cash sitting in your garage like that. The bank is a safer place.

Dude stick with your car. I would still consider 86k relatively low mileage as these cars aren't getting any younger. Mine has 63k and is daily driven. I'm starting my mods asap.
