Yeah, you should hook me up with a nice WS6 for $6500-$9k...

I'll actually probably buy another jetski (08+ RXP-X) or boat before I get back into the car scene
Ill keep an eye out.

This one guy at the cruise nights in town still try's to sell his slp formula with 60k miles on it for 17k like as if its something so special. I make fun of him because my ws6 was only 13k about 5 years ago

I paid 9500 for my last one. Mint, no cracked dash and fairly stock. Nice cheap ones are out there if you look hard.

I'm still trying to decide if it was a good idea to buy this z06 lol. I keep thinking about how fast I could have made the z28. Now I have a car payment and still addicted to go faster and faster. NOT CHEAP.

If I hadn't sold my WS6 I wouldn't have bought this car. I really regret selling it. Vette tax is for real

Yea I could have a high 120's low 130's trapping Camaro if I would not have bought this car and started modding it... But it's nicer in every single way, looks badass, and handles like a ****. Once I do a cam I think it should trap 120's.

Mine was through a dealer and had 50k miles on it and absolutely no mods. I can't complain since finding a white stock ws6 can be a pain in the ***. This as I said was 5 years ago when values were a little higher.

I bought my 99 z28 with 29k miles in 2009 for $6000 lol. Got it crazy cheap. Would likely still be driving it now if not for ******* n20!!

Changing the subject a little bit. Where is the best place to buy a cam from? I've heard comp cams are not real accurate on there specs. And whats the best most reliable valve springs? Are Brian tooley springs still break free?

Yeah, you can thank me for that. Whenever a thread gets dull (like this one did), usually I'll make a post and then, boom! Thread is up and running again. A select few Tech has-beens are kind of envious of me for that, but trust me when I say this section wouldn't be the same without me.

On a side note, me and the wife are on our way up to Sparks, Nevada to Summit Racing to pick up my Kooks 1-7/8" Longtubes and catted X-pipe. Total cost out the door is $1,920. Damn **** is expensive for these cars.
