Do you have any hp/tq numbers for the engine? 1/4 mile times? It appears that the engine would be a selling point of this car. I am a big fan of the foxes, but 7k for a salvage that needs some resto work title seems a little steep. I am just hoping to give a little advice. Your car has nice potential, I hope you have good luck with your sale!

No Numbers....I have some kills.. and a nice benchmark

At 28psi with the older messed up throttle body
Kills:
-Two 100shot LS1 autos from 30 -130 or so- tore them a new *******
-Was still pulling ona cam/longtube /exchaust ls1 M^ with 3.73s at 140..
-

Benchmark.
Runs on the back bumper of a 150shot M6 2002 WS6 with 3.73s, longtubes, TSP true dual x pipe setup. froma dig all the way to 130. Aerodynamics takes over after that...

As for the price its NOT firm, just kind of a starting point for negotiations of a VERY fast(for a 4 cylinder full interior pump gas street car.)

Parts alone add up to atleast $7k(and I'm being VERY conservative in this estimate.)

Right now bad gas and a cap and rotor I think. I'm replacing the cap and rotor on the 15th...

Also retuning the car at that time to accomodate the slightly larger throttle body.

Also the heater blower is acting up. Might be the switch, or the motor, not sure..just discovered it doesnt work anymore in the rain yesterday when my windows were foogging up..lol

The vent selector still works, though.

Only issue left on the car is the heater blower motor, and a valve cover gasket which will be replaced this week.

The car has a a decent tune, only the startup and warm up tune needs work.

The car averages 24-27 mpg on the highway at 75-80mph.

This car is STILL for sale....I really want a motorcycle of some kind,though. Especially if it comes with luggage.

Also the car is Near Virginia Beach,Va until mid December...

I bet if anyone went for a ride with this car, they'd love the sleeper vibe it gives....

Anyways, still for sale..

I have a 05 R6... (link - https://ls1tech.com/forums/vehicles-sale-non-lsx-powered/980421-fs-ft-2005-yamaha-r6-4500-obo.html)

Take a look. The price might be dropping soon enough, but more looking to sell than trade. Bike is Located in Savannah, near Hunter Army Airfield.

What do you have in mind. Lets work something out!

NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! Dont do it Adam. lol. J/K. I can vouch for the quickness of the mustang. He liked to plant himself on my back bumper with my old set up that ran 11.5X's @ 126 all day long.
