HAHA thanks but z28's are pretty cheap down here. My 2 friends both got theirs for 4k plus title tax etc. One was a 00' 6 speed with 96k and the other is a 98 with 56k that one killed me when he said he got it for 4 grand lol. I ws after a ta or formy but theyre about 1500 more and usually have more mileage. I actually was looking at a black ss that needed a new upholstered seat on the drivers side and new lifters in the motor with 2000' 108k on the clock for $2500. However I went through the whole thing with my last two cars I wanted something already good to go lol. I still may go look at it tho when I pick up the z cuz theyre 5 min from eachother.

Redbird, I felt a little sick when I heard how much you paid. I think thats going to be the new norm for the LS1 F-bodies. We can all thank the wonderful shiny new 2010 Camaro for that one. Anybody wanna buy my car for $1500, or is that too high in today's market? (j/k about sale of course)

z28's, ta's, formy's etc are around 6k but if you shop a little bit on craigslist autotrader etc they can be found for 4-5k atleast here. Lou backrodt chevy which is here in pompano beach has a 00' z28 for $7900 with 59k on it full leather interior beautiful car but I dont have 8k right now lol.

I put a procharger on my car at 52k miles and had it tore down at 128k miles to rebuild it (read: forge it) and then put a turbo on it.
I ran Mobile 1 in the car and changed the oil at 6k miles. Changed fluids as needed and when we tore it down at 128k, I asked Jason, Extreme's lead mechanic, how things looked and said whatever I was doing, keep doing it, the internals looked great.

I was blessed with my car. It was totally stock at 55,000 miles to the paper air filter. I am about to do heads/ now at 87,000 miles. I already have a cam in with headers etc. I changed all the fluids. I will do it again at 100,000 miles. So far no problems.

Wow, good deal redbird555, my friends also been looking for a v8, he wants a TA or a formula as well. I make fun of him telling him to buy a camaro cuz their cooler (opinion). Good find and good luck with your new Z.
