wow that is a lot of cash.

he is better off just parting it out.

Yes that is very unrealistic.

You have any idea what kind of car you can get for that kind of coin

A C6 or GT500 or Porshe Boxter?

None of which will run 7s in the 1/4 mile. I agree that the price is ridiculous, but he also has some top notch parts on there that if priced separately can add up real quick.

He'd be better off finding a low mileage ls1/t56 combo to swap in there and sell the rest of the stuff. He would probably make just as much money in the end.

Actualy, I installed and fab every part myself. If you add up all the parts its way over $50k. All the Parts are BRAND NEW, and it will run 7s. either way the car sold. So keep worrying about your NA exhaust only, 300hp car. Because you have know idea the about of time, money and work we put into this car.

No one's saying it's not a sick car, and the $50k price tag is where all the negative responses are coming from. $49k and 35k OBO are a long way apart... I would def never spend 50 grand on a car with rusted rotors, put that beast in the garage dammit!
