Since you sell used cars now you might wanna watch what you tell people when they buy a car it might comeback to bite you in the *** espcially if its your own and it won't dyno what you advertised.Oh well doesn't matter to me. I'm not interested in buying the car so good luck with the sale.

Look, don't be a dick Matt. If you want to preach.. talk to your mirror while shaving in the morning, not to me.
It dyno'd 421 at the wheels which makes it 484 at the crank.. period. It dyno'd 484. Fact.
Does GM rate it's new Zo6 as 426 horsepower? NO! They rate it at 505 horsepower.
Most perople don't even know what 421rwhp really means! So... should I undercut what it's making to satisfy your wants? hell no.

its rated at 505 cause it dynod 505 on an engine dyno. Matt wasnt being a dick, just trying to save you some trouble. 484 at the crank is not a "fact"....just a good theory. If you use all synthetic fluids, yours might really be 490 at the crank. If I were looking for a car, saw your ad and then learned how you came up with 484hp, i would think you were being shady and wonder what else you might not be on the up and up about. You are right though, most folks dont know the difference in rwhp vs fwhp anyway. Dont get bent Josh, folks just trying to look out for ya!!

Well that Firehawk was going for 27K, almost 30
F-body's are just F-body's IMO, there aint 30K about none of them including the "special" ones (WS6, Firehawk, etc..). Just a glorified T/A or Z28 with a hood, wheels, and badges.
Found some good prospects though, should hopefully be back in the saddle again real soon. Just dont wanna jump on the first thing I find this time.

^^ Um, the Firehawk in the ad was mine... it was 23k... and it's 5k below kelly blue book.
Where'd 27k come from?
Not that I've even taken anyone seriously. I'm daily driving the car now.
I only owe 8k on it.... I'll probably just pay it off with one month's paycheck and keep it.

I jus' can't believe you haven't found one to your liking yet.... not like they're rare or anything....
Are you doing any out of state looking?
What'cha willing to pay for clean, low mile, factory stock?
Looking for loaded or stripper?
I'll keep my eyes open-
I "had" one that would've been PERFECT for ya, before it became a whored out pig

Mike, believe it or not they are "many", but not "many" worth a ******* ****. I've looked at probably 20+ cars in the past month, and about 2 of them were actually worth something. People dont give a **** about these cars anymore except for the guys like us. 4th gens are slowly but surely going the way of the ragged out, fell apart, cinder block, trailor park 3rd gens.
Found a nice silver 2002 Ws6 today I really like. Going to try and run some #'s on it this week and buy it.
