Default HELP!! Giving my car away or is it my deal of a lifetime??

Okay so i wanna trade my car. This is the setup.

THIS IS a one of a kind 530.7 rwhp trans am. There is over $ 45,000.00 in the engine building to make this car what it is today, this car truly is a sight to see, hear and drive. This car has also been modified with a nitrous oxide setup when used this car has the ability to gain an extra 300 hp. The system is setup to spray on full throttle, it also has a button inside that will purge out the air in the lines. The purged nitro will come out the hood in two areas where two blue led lights have been setup. It sprays the nitro straight up into the air and through the light. It is amazing at night to see. With the modified engine and the nitrous oxide the car will run 10.790s at 126 mph on 100 shot of nos and 11.261s all day long without nitrous oxide. Also the torque at the wheels is about 650.00.

yes, i think trading it for that vette is a BAD idea. you have put so much hard work and money into that car! The only vette you should trade it in for is the new z06... Plus your car looks sick!!! Somewhat like a sleeper actually...

not meaning to be a hater lol, i just think you got ripped by a shop if you paid that much. but to each his own, btw it is a beautiful car, much prettier than the vette IMHO.

ah. one question, did you dyno it, or did he? cause seriously, 650 rwtq doesnt make much sense, with only 530 rwhp. the numbers just dont work, unless your making 530 hp at like 5000 rpm, which is unlikely lol.

and to answer your question, there'd be no way in hell id actually trade.

Vette's are more prestigious, slicker, status. You know... And the 4.56 gearing helps alot with the torque. It's a one of a kind. Probably never see it again. Well thanks to you black I'm thinking of keeping it instead. Sure would be nice if i could get others to reply too.

How many times has that Vette been sprayed?

45K on the motor? Most likely not. WTF? Do you really still have a functioning 10 bolt?

The Vette is worth more "real" money, but. . . . Have you seen the Vette?

What shape is it in?


It's upto you, but it is worth more.

It really depends on how much you like your TA.
