Trade or Sale - 98 Formula Drag Car (7.50 ET Chassis)
EDIT 5/20/06: VEHICLE IS SOLD! THANKS FOR LOOKING!
I'm considering selling or trading this huge money pit, before I commit to installing another $16K worth of parts into it. I simply don't have the time to go drag racing as much as I used to, so I wouldn't get much use out of the car.
-The entire drivetrain, suspension, brakes, tranny, wheels/tires, etc... have ZERO miles on them. Everthing is brand new except the engine.
-The chassis was recently NHRA certified to 7.50 ET or slower.
-All chassis and suspension work done by Madman ($5300 worth of receipts)
-Car runs/drives. Currently has a 440 rwhp LS6 based heads/cam engine under the hood. Futral 228/230 cam, longtubes, LS6 intake, ported LS6 heads.
I have nearly $30,000 invested in the car as it sits. Asking $21,000 or best offer, or an interesting trade for ???
Here are the parts on the car:
-BMR Extreme Duty torque arm
-BMR lower control arms
-BMR K-member
-BMR upper and lower A-arms photo
-QA1 12-way adj front and rear shocks (coil-overs up front)
-TCI Dedenbear cased Powerglide tranny, max effort build ($$$)
-TCI racing converter, stalled for 1000 rwhp @ 3200 lbs, 7K rpm shifts
-TCI trans brake, Thunder Racing line lock
-TCI Outlaw shifter
-Madman lightweight manual steering rack
-Strange lightweight drag race rear brake system
-Aerospace lightweight drag race front brake system
-new brake lines and braided lines
-Billingsley ABS delete block
-Billingsley Fab-9 rearend with gun-drilled 35 spline axles and star flanges ($$$) photo
-Billingsley anti-roll drag race bar
-Wolfe 10-pt chrome moly rollcage w/ window net
-Wolfe thru-floor subframe connectors
-cam-lock 5-point racing harnesses on both seats
-Madman heater delete firewall panel
-Weld Aluma-Star 2.0 billet front wheels, 15x10 rears ($$$)
-Brand new M/T ET Drags (28x10.5) and front runners
-CNC ported LS6 heads
-Futral F11 cam (228/230)
-Dynatech stepped longtube headers 1-3/4 to 1-7/8
-LS6 intake
-MTI ported T-body
-MTI airbox lid
-ASP crank pulley
-Speed Inc lightweight carpet - brand new installed 5/17
-Sparco "Rev" racing seats
If you have Microsoft Excel, you can view my cost tracking sheet here:

what does the car need? A wheel alignment, then it can make passes as-is.
Help me get this money pit out of my garage, so that I can work on my '69 Camaro project instead
The car has the correct Formula wing now:

I'm asking $21K
Trades I'm interested in:
-low mileage, ultra-clean LS1 f-body of equal or less value plus cash, must be 6-speed
-musclecars, classics, hotrods
-C5 Corvettes, must be 6-speed
-what else?
Probably not going to be interested in the Boxster, I can't work on those

you guys asking about trades, shoot me some pics to Tony@LS1TECH.com
Please include pics, parts list, location, etc...
The last time it was for sale, it was a completely different car. I replaced everything on the car from top to bottom, except for the engine

everyones definition of "streetable" is different. Power locks and windows still work. Clean title.
with a 2-spd tranny and a 4.10 gear with a spool, on drag slicks and drag runners, I wouldn't consider it a street car. You would have to at least change the wheels/tires to drive it around. Gas economy would suck too

rearend is custom narrowed 2" on each side. This gives a nice deep dish look to the rear wheels (15x10 with 5.5" backspacing) and results in a lighter axle. Car is not minitubbed.
I'll get an engine bay pic taken, it looks like a stock LS1 under the hood. Good power, ugly engines
