I guess I could always do the math, part by part, and see where I'd be...

The ARH's w/ an A&A kit, hooked up with some meth, 600+ for sure. The stock 241's are perfect for it, 10:1 compression, 66cc heads ready to go.

I hear ya, probably. People do sell used Monsters on here. Plus rims/tires. Wiring harness. Fast. Throttle body. Door panels, taillights, all sorts of S if you wanna really tear it apart. Ther are buyers for all that stuff. Somebody might buy the shell for some money. 2000 for shortblock seems pricey to me though. Who knows. Good deal for somebody to buy the whole thing and def easier than ripping it apart and making weekly trips to UPS for 10 months.

I got it with the C6 shaft though so I can put a new C6 **** on there. Waiting to install though until the billet lower box comes in.
As for these two pics: moral of the story here is don't back up on to your ramps while you forget your door is open. (Door is perfectly fine)

Well somebody has to stay of top of these things.
That door must have briefly scared the S out of you!! I did something similar on the wifes Golf R, had a senior moment and backed out of our tight *** garage looking right to make sure I was clear of my TransAm, so of course I slammed the driver mirror into the wooden garage door frame. Loud sound, mirror, bent backwards, dug right into the wood. Pulled forward, mirror snapped back, no damage except to the garage. Those Germans are some smart people. I'm German so this makes even more sense.
How are you liking the car so far? Happy with the decision?

Yes, I'm loving it. No regrets at all. All I miss is the "grunt / umph" of the Camaro. This one certainly isn't explosive yet, but she will be. Handles 10x better than the Camaro as well.
C6Z51 sway bars are on the way!
