sounds like lust to me. With all that money in the car its a bad idea, then again 45g's in a trans-am isn't the best idea either. keep it theres always other cars you might think are nicer, "love the one your with".

Okay..the story is that I didn't put all that money. The guy before me did. He gave it away to me. I don't know why he did it. but he did. So the money isn't a big deal. I'm just attached to my car now. And I don't know where i could find another car like mine. Easier to find another Corvette. So I'm probably going to keep it. What what would be a good trade or sell price though??

Sooooo, you dont want to trade for a car that is worth about 35% more than yours, yet you want to sell it.
I will make it easy for you by letting you ship the TA to me. Then you won't have to worry about it.
Sounds good to me.

Thanks for the help! I treat my car good too. I have never let her see the rain or my the first owner. So it's all good. After college I can get a Vette i guess. After all this my car seems too rare, thanks to all the T/A lovers haha. And I don't wanna sell my car or it would be in the classifieds. THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP! I appreciate it!! My bird is here to stay! Unless someone has a 2005 and up Z06 Vette?!?! Haha Later.

A 383 does not make 650rwtq NA. It won't happen. (He did list a stroker crank.. BMEP would be in the 290's.. impossible) His lift numbers are wrong on the cam. Those valvesprings will never control a T-Rex with 1.85 rockers, much less on normal rockers if he is actually using his 8500 rpm shift light. Besides a T-Rex on 1.85 rockers would coilbind springs rated to .600. No one spends that much money upgrading a 10 bolt, a 9 inch is cheaper. Axles and whatnot would be beefed up, but the teeth on a 4.56 gear would be so thin in a 7.5 housing, I don't care what you do, you're going to shear the teeth right off. There are just too many inconsistancies. And there's no f-ing way in hell you are putting that much to the ground through a single 3 inch y-pipe/i-pipe.

Maybe he means theres 45k invested in the whole car? (car+cage+engine mods+fuel system) Anyways, do what you want...we dont have the title to the car. I will say i love the cage in it and what you did with the floor mats in the hatch looks really sweet!
