I bought mine for 7,500.00 with 49,500 miles bone stock 3 years ago, today I've seen nice ones go for 6000.00. Not bad but a LS1 f-body can be had cheaper and is faster than mine stock even with a converter, cam and full bolt ons. Also:
IMO the F-body rides a lot better than my Corvette. The seats in the Vette are uncomfortable and the inside body squeaks will drive you crazy. As performance goes. With a small cam, 125 shot and a much smaller stall then most use in the heavier F-body, I've been 11.80's in good weather.
On the plus side, I get several thumbs up at least once a week and people seem to love the nitrous bottle out in plain view.
