Unless you are ggoing to buy it and part it out (dibs on the blower kit lolol) id pass on it honestly. I HATE electrical issues have no idea how to fix the complicated ones. My 06 gto would go into limp mode for no reason, stock and 8k miles. Never did figure it out with multiple dealership visits

Mine would do the exact thing... Is it still on the factory maf? How much boost? It's in the tune if he is still on the maf. I had to get a retune for it to finally go away.

My new thoughts since I'm getting deployed and Imma come back with a bunch of dough(Including paying off all debts other than my house):

1. Keep the C5Z06(It has 120K miles) as a daily and get a C6Z06 when I get back

2. Get a used CTSV for a daily (There was one on Clist for 25K with 170K miles on it an 09 so Im sure I can find one) , rip the LS6 out of my C5Z and sell it and put a 408 stroker built for boost into it along with the supporting hardware (I just love the C5's lines so I'm leaning towards this) Also I have about 4 grand worth of parts in my garage just accumulating dust waiting to go in the Z.

3. Save my $ and get a C7 eventually. I'm kind of waiting to see what happens with the pricing and the aftermarket with these but I think Chevy hit a homerun with the looks.

4. Go an entirely different direction and get a 2013 GT500 used. I dont know anything about fords though, so this is unlikely.

I also just got an interview for a promotion at work so I'm not telling them I got orders to deploy until I have the interview and see if I get the job. Still havent heard from the Marshals or Border patrol yet, still waiting.

I like C6Z's, the GT500 is a nice car and is fast as hell out the box. Both great options, im an NA guy so its a no brainer to go with the C6Z. GT500 is sick cause with an exhaust, pulley and tires its ready to go.


But personally id love to have a nice Aluminum based 40xci with some tfs235s with good amount of compression and loose clearances for a 300 shot. Brb traping 130 on motor and 140+ on nitrous. Best thing ever with a manual trans ofcourse.



**** an auto

I don't really do autos. I had an auto WS6 that was Bad ***, the guy I sold it to just ran 11.40 with it @116 still with the LS1 intake cam only full weight WS6. 3600 stall (I beleive) and 373 gears in the original 160K mile rear end; that car kicked ***, but otherwise I won't have an auto unless it's for a DD. I realize an auto will be faster consistently at the strip but I like road racing which a manual is essential for IMO. It pissed me off that the F430 I drove was a paddle shift car; even though I still had fun and scared the **** out of the guy who had to ride with me.

By the way, update on the formula situation. The title wasn't in the guy's name, he didn't tell me that until I was supposed to pick up the car so I didn't get it. I'm looking at a 1999 Z28 Vert tomorrow. Gonna get it and part it out more than likely if I can talk him down to 3500.

I ****** hate school but I am gonna finish. I am definitely fucked up in the head but its from when I was Army not Navy Reserves. US NR is a good branch and you can get a good job depending on what you pick for a rate (MOS).

It's an Auto with 200K on it, bone stock. Im gonna offer him 3000 and go from there. There is a **** ton of LSx cars up here, in the country they are like the holy grail lol... everyone loves them up here but it's wayyyy country compared to down south. They sell for a lot less here.

Oh the Trans is brand new with a warranty from AAMCO for 6 more months apparently. I wont pay more than 3200 cause mileage. I just talked to him on the phone I was thinking 3500 but no with the mileage.

Had one slick mounted to a spare GN rim I had. It rubs a little.. **** me. I don't know much about spacers, but I think maybe an 1/8th in spacer will work? Any insight? 28-10-15 on a 7" rim with 3.5" backspace.
