FS: 600+ HP N/A 98 WS6 Formula - $16,800!!!!!
I’m testing the water for my car. I wouldn't have time to deal with selling it, etc for at least 3 weeks (very busy w/my training).
I’m preparing for a house coming up in April/May of ’06. I can invest this money to make a bit of a gain for an even better down payment. I have my daily driver to use for the meantime.
The car runs killer. Many people can attest to the wicked nature of this car that have recently ridden in it. It never stops pulling all the way to redline. In the few little runs its had since the new motor/tune, it pulled a H/C LS1 + 125 shot (put down over 535 RWHP and near 600 RWTQ on the same dyno I used) by 1 car and kept pulling from a roll to top of fourth. It runs awesome, just needs some tweaking on the idle tune and it’ll be dead solid. A/F was 13.1 or so on the dyno via wideband. There is some chatter with the clutch, but nothing I can't deal with.
The car put down, on pump gas, with a safe tune, and 25-27* of timing through a stock LS6 intake, ported stock TB, descreened stock MAF:
Super Flow #s 501/485 RWHP/TQ, FWHP 589 N/A
DynoJet corrected #s 530/515 RWHP/TQ, FWHP 624 N/A
(Graph attached below)
It has another easy 35 RWHP with a Fast 90/90, 85MM MAF/Lid combo. It’d also gain at least 10-15 RWHP with a set of 1 7/8 headers. So you’re looking at a possible 550 RWHP car with just those bolt-ons! Slap on an electric water pump for about another ~8-10 rwhp, and you can see there is still plenty more that can be had out of the car.
Paint is in excellent shape for being a 1998 car with the original paint on the car. The front and rear bumper has some scratches, too. The rest of the body is straight as an arrow.
It gets about 13 MPG city and just over 24.5 on the highway! The body has just over 100K on it. The car itself is worth about 9-10K stock and I calculated up over $27K in parts excluding labor, in the car.
Price is $16,800 FIRM!!!!!!!!!!!
No trades, thanks.

I have no time to pull out a motor, etc. I work over 90+ hours/week.

Price update. Pictures added to this and above posts.
A note on the interior, the blue is MUCH darker than what's pictured. My camera makes it much lighter regardless of what I try. The color is actually pacific blue, it can be viewed on below:
Thanks.

Thanks, man.
It'll sell. No rush. The price really can't be beaten. It has one of the best rotating assemblies one can buy, professionally built engine by one of the top LS1 builders in the country.
Those who really know these cars know how great a deal this is

Waiz1, stock 3.42 rear. It has had over 10K miles pushed by a 427, and lastly 414, never abused. I drive like a grandma and have witnesses I had to sell the 12 bolt to fund some traffic court stuff, but I never drag raced the car either. The 3.42s are dead silent and work very well. The 3.42 rear was actually better for my uses (driven 3-6 miles per day to and from hospital to home).
