Default 99TA 53k miles, tastefull mods...

Car is my baby but Ive been debating on selling it, its always been garaged kept and washed and waxed regulary, nothing but the best maint for this car...always! Had the car almost 3 years and its been good to me, Ive put a crap load of time into it because Ive done all the mods myself or with friends help. All engine mods have been on for about 10k, the rear has about 5k and the others are random. Only 5 bottles have been through the motor and only 100 shots. Car made 470/417 when the head/cam was put on before the rear. Best was a 7.9 in the 1/8 in TX. Now car is in AZ and needs a retune bad cause its not running as good as it did in TX. I was tuned at a lower altitude and better octane at 93, not 91 that I get here. Getting retuned here in a few weeks and should be running better, ran a 11.6 on 100 shot two months ago, looking for low 11's next run in Oct maybe high 10 with a 150 shot. I don't run the car a lot and its actually my DD right now if I don't take my bike to work. A/C blows ice cold and does fine for DD duties. Listed all mods off the top of my head, might be some other little things.

GTA, I will...I still want to get with you on the pics, you see what your working with now so Im sure you could get some sick *** pics!!

bigblock, thanks for the reply...I like to think the car is at the 17k and to me it is but with the market I doubt I'd see it unless I found someone that knew what he wanted and would pay it. Honestly if I were to let it go I prob wouldn't take less then 17k. The car is pampered more then my wife and only gets the best of everything...with in reason of course.

I was thinking in the 15-20 range. I certainly wouldn't take any less than 15 unless you had to
