And to stay relevant to the thread. If you get the car then chances are it's gettin ready to take a ****. If I were you i'd get it and drive it easy and save up for a shortblock.

I drove an LS1 for the first time in my friend's 99 auto Z28. The thing just pulled like no other and didn't stop. Before that, I drove my friend's 97 Z28 A4 LT1. It also pulled awesome, but the "seat of the pants" judge was DEFINATELY in favor of the LS1. My car was the 1st LS1 or LT1 that I had driven with an M6, and was just the most fun I've ever had behind the wheel of a car. That being said, I love LT1s and I'm thinking of picking one up for cheap to be my "mod car". (I'd like to keep my SS stock and low low mileage)

Getting back to the whole firehawk thing, the condition and the miles really take everything away of the fact that its a real firehawk... Its been ragged out and used as a DD so its nothing special, Id offer him like 4-5 with your trade

I wouldn't buy it just because of the miles. I got my 2000 TA m6 black on black with 75,000 miles in excellent condition for $8,000. Keep searching don't settle because these cars are not really that cheap to fix.

Yeah, I agree. If he would take $5-6000 for it, i would get it cause i could do a rebuilt if i got it that cheap. I wouldnt mind having a Firehawk, but i would be just as happy with a Z.
