1996 Camaro Z28. 6-Speed. Just over 88,000 miles. T-tops. Power Windows/locks/mirrors, Bose sound system. her best run put her at a 12.9 @ 108 in the 1/4. someone that can drive better than i can could probably get down to the mid-12's.

You have one heck of a car there but you are going to get killed financially. You have a ton into it that you will never get back. I'm sure you have read numerous posts about rarely getting half your money back when it comes to mods. You can only hope to get half back and even that may be a real long shot in this bad seller's market. I hope you can keep it. If not, good luck!

yeah, i knew half would be a stretch. but i have looked into various posts all over the web trying to find some way to price a modded car. but ive come up short on any really helpful info due to today's economy. ive got over $15k in mods. performance and visual. and kbb has a value of about $5k. so using the 1/2 of mods value, plus the value of the car, that leaves me a total of $12k. but i know $12k is pretty high, but cant figure out what a fair asking price should be.
