Default Used spec 3???

Would you guys buy a spec 3 with 10k miles on it. Seems to be in good condition and good price. Worth it?

If I'm gunna go through the trouble of replacing an LS1 clutch, it better be brand f'ng new!!


My Spec3 grips like crazy, but has quite a bit of chatter, even after an easy 2500 mile break-in


I wouldn't go used unless I had absolutely no other option....

I bought my SPEC III used from NOYZEE. It was broken in right and has run for approx 50-60k miles. Granted that a few of those are highway miles, but it still grips on slick launches.

I'll be sticking with SPEC.
