Default 95 Z28 Track Car value?

I posted this up in the "whats it worth" section but figured i could get a few more hits over here. The 1.7rr's and 150lbs weight reduction havent been done yet but will be if sold. Heres the link :

i wouldnt say rockers and 150lbs off will pick you up almost 5/10ths , they tune and weight will help but i doubt that it will help that much. i would say no more than 4k bc of the trans not a lot of people will want it, and it still has the little 10 in it... and you said it went 111 mph in the thread but the sig shows 106... how the hell did you not pick up atleast a 10th and went 5mph faster?

Well 11.50's could be 11.59. With that said i would only need .3-.35ths off, so ii do believe that the addition of 1.7RR's, tune and 150lbs weight reduction i can get the 11.5x.

Whoever buys this car will be buying it for a track car so the th350 would actually be the preffered trans of choice for the fact of being lighter and more reliable.

Ok so if i kept the new Ford 9" w/4.11 gear in it(which would add a 120lbs back so now to 11.60's), what should it sell for then? Ive just dropped atleast $7000 into the car in the past few months(including rearend) and will be even more into it by the time of sell...

Also there you can check out one of my other threads for info on why it only picked up a tenth when it gained 5mph. This is it : https://ls1tech.com/forums/lt1-lt4-m...-only-lt1.html

The new ford 9" and Circle D converter worked wonders for my bolt on only LT1! I ran a 11.97! Even though with an extra 50lbs of weight taken out the rear end screwed me over and brought the racewieght to 3120! But theres a problem... my shift light came on for fourth gear right before the 1000 foot! The rest of the way down the track i just held it around 5600rpms. So now i need to get a taller tire and guessin a 29.5" should do it? But anyways She should have a easy 11.8 in her once thats settled then need to get my electric water pump, roller rockers, and a tune then i should be pretty dang close to that bolt on only record! Heres the time slip:


When i ran my last best of 12.26 it was at 109mph so should be easy to get my 11.8. Also lovin the 1.57 60' with the wheels up!
look at the end where it says i use to run a 12.26 at 109mph. It also says that i couldnt run it all the way out so i just cruised across the finish line at 106. So now that i have a taller tire i can run it all the way out at 111mph with a 11.91e.t best and a 1.62 60'.

But back to topic. I really dont have a clue as to what this thing is worth as a race car. I mean i know its not an allout ***** to the wall race car or anything but its definately a bad *** consistent bracket car with tons of potential once any amount of motor work is done!
