Picked up a new project, so it’s time to sell my baby!! I purchased this car brand new in August of 2002. Graphite leather interior, t-tops, and every option available (except CD changer).

Car is beautiful inside and out, and no expense has been spared. See the pictures below, and visit my albums for even more pics. I’ve put almost $20,000 in modifications into her, and have the receipts for almost everything.

Only 11,600 miles on the car (8,000 miles on the forged shortblock, 5,000 miles on the rebuilt T56). I’ve only used Mobil 1 oil in her, and I’ve changed it religiously every 2,000 miles. Although I don’t daily drive the car, there’s no reason it couldn’t be. The car is dead-nuts reliable. It’s always been driven to and from the track (200+ miles roundtrip). Just bolt on the ET Streets, make a few 10 second passes, and head home.

Just installed the NX kit last fall, and only 2 bottles have been run through the motor (dyno time plus ~ 6 quarter mile passes).

Dyno’ed 417rwhp/387rwtq through the heavy drivetrain and full exhaust on motor (check album’s for dynosheet), and picked up 130rwhp on a NX 150 shot.

Best time on motor of 11.3 @ 121.18mph, and best time on the 150 shot of 10.5 @ 128.62mph, both with 3500lb raceweight. Car has more in it on the 150 shot with taller tires; nitrous cut off on the above run at the 1000’ mark running 26” ET Streets.

Car will be sold with ZR1 Camaro SS wheels with Kumho Supra Ecsta Tires (275/40/17), with about 70% / 40% tread left.

I’ve removed the air conditioning, rear seats, front bumper support, and sway bar to keep the race weight to 3500lbs (including me @ 210lbs). However, all parts are available and will be provided to the new owner.

Edit: Now on eBay with a $20,500 Buy It Now!!!! (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMESE%3AIT)

I’ve got almost that much in mods alone, so someone’s gonna get a hella deal on a turn-key 10 second car!! I’ve included a couple pictures below, or feel free to go here for even more: http://www.villagephotos.com/pubgallery.asp?id_=39141 Please feel free to pm or email me with any questions (paul.rutkowski.gsuw@statefarm.com).

Boy wouldn't that be nice.
Get a much more aggressive built car with a stage 4 tranny, and 427 cubic inch motor, fast intake and TB for 24,000 and sell your car for 23,000. Good luck on that but seeing what the market is right now and what you can get for 24,000 you will have a rough time geting anything in the 20's for your ride.
I am only comparing your new car purchase that took 5 weeks to sell at 24,000 even though it was a fantastic deal for the dollar.
You have a damn nice setup here as well, but this market is very touch for the F body seller's right now.
Good luck.

Agreed and understood. That's why I listed OBO

FWIW, I'd say which is more agressive is a matter of opinion. This car has only 11,000 miles, runs 10.5's, and has always been driven to and from the track

550 305 225

What are the cam specs???????????

Orange Crush 408

I think it is more than worth it, good luck.

Need to hit up Lou on that one, I honestly don't know and I don't think the G5X3 specs have ever been made public knowledge.

I know it's slightly bigger than the G5X2 (232/240 .59x/.60x).

Tons of pms and emails, but nothing final yet

Some additional info on my ride...

The motor tune was done by Jim at Speed Inc, and I've spent countless hours fine-tuning her to get the cruise, part throttle, and idle characteristics absolutely perfect. A little old lady could drive this thing to church... just don't get in her way

Also, I'm pretty reasonable when it comes to price; $23,000 is just a starting point. Everything's negotiable, and money talks Could even work out something where, if you've already got a nitrous kit, I could remove mine and lower the price accordingly...

Thanks for the interest guys! Keep it up!!! Feel free to pm or email me with any questions!

Hey, i've got the cash, only thing im worried about 2 friends told me.. is how bad u beat on this car.. im not saying anything but jut stating

LS1nut

if I had a forged shortblock, and all the mods hes got, id drive the hell out of it.

THATS WHAT IT WAS BUILT FOR. not to mention, with only 11k on the car.....exactly how bad can it be hurt?

if you still have this car around the end of March, im probably going to buy it. so no B.S. to anyone out there....if you want it, you better get it now. I just have a couple of small bills I want to pay off before buying a car.
