I'd pay 8 on that car. Sure why not?
This man speaks the truth! I had 138k on mine, cammed and everything, and it ran like a champ. I'd drop 8k on that in a heartbeat!

I believe he was talking about the red car. And the lid on the red car is the 345HP blackwing lid from the factory - OR - he used the K&N Bellow to bypass the air silencer???

Check out the poll that asks how many miles are on your LS1. A hell of a lot of folks have between 100-150k on their LS1. I'd worry more that the guy was mod'ing the car than the mileage.

Not sure I agree with that. 01's ad 02's have a better intake manifold for sure and do lack the EGR but it's easy enough to pull that on an earlier model. Earlier models have a slightly more agresive cam. 01's and 02's will generally cost more to buy though. A lot of folks with 02's think they are worth a lot more because it's the last year so watch for over inflated prices. I saw one guy on ebay selling an 02 Z with 56k for 25k. That's just insane.

I say find the car you like with the lowest mileage possible and the least amount of modifications. You may want a lot of mods but be careful cause a lot of highly modified cars got abused.

All that being said I have an 02 and have tried to remain nuetral in the "which car is the best year" threads.

The black one looks brand new almost

I think I'd take the red one over it seeing that it has less than half the miles of the black one though. And it's got a brand new motor too!

i looked into buying that car earlier...it had headers and a lid and a few other things that he sold. so now its cammed, has stock manifolds, stock lid, but I'm pretty sure everything else is fine. He offered to put the a/c and power steering back in if i bought the car, and he also said if i didnt like the black wheels he'd get them back to the original color lol. I dont like him at all though. I scheduled a test drive with him then he said the day before that he sold it. now its back up for sale

Looks like a rip to me. I see plenty of low mile LS1's for lower.

Make sure trans shifts smooth, ask for clutch milage, brakes dont squeak and there is good pedal feel. lol and make sure it doesnt hit switches when you stop you know the poor mans hydraulics..worn out struts and shocks. See if has service records. make em check fluids too.

Miles don't matter but treatment and maintance does. Look at it like this he has either taken really good care of it because it's a modded car and he loves it or he has dogged the hell out of it because he is dumb and just likes speed. My car has 80,000 miles and has been slightly modded and so far seems like the guy was very good at maintaining and keeping it runnign well.
