Thanks guys for the compliments. Neil, you must be a psychic, if I didn't owe a crazy amount of taxes, a silver Z06 is exactly what I'd be putting my money down on. BTW here is a pic.

I've gotten a couple of calls asking if the Vortech is intercooled, the answer is yes. Also I would like to add, I am not parting out the car, I'm selling the vehicle the way it sits.

This car is spotless, and runs extremely well.

It is a steal for that price, to think you could have one of the faster Firebirds in Houston.

11.5 @123 people!!


Cheers

I saw the car yesterday, the pictures dont do it justice at all. The car is a total sleeper, you could rip apart an unsuspecting 03 Cobra easily, if its going this fast on a stock motor imagine what some heads and a nice blower cam will do

Does anyone know how rare this car is? I think there were only 300 NBM formulas built that year, plus it is a hard top. Good deal for sure
