The title is clean. It has all emissions equipment in place, although the EGR system has been disabled with the Ed Wright chip. I never used the car as a daily driver, so I have hardly put any miles on it myself. The only thing I have done with it is attend some local autocrosses which are only a mile from where I keep the car. This has been a Fast Time of the Day car almost every time.

i'm interested in this car, as it has alot of mods that i want to do to mine. The thing i am most curious about is why you would want to get rid of it after you have done all the work. Is there some reason you don't want the car any more or is there something wrong with it? Anyway, I'd like to talk to you more in depth about it. Thanks, Brett

Gary K

That's an understandable question. For those that wonder why I want to sell it, it's simply because I need the money for other things. I just bought my first house, and I also have a car payment (on my daily driver) for the first time ever. On top of that, I roadrace and after taking this year off I'm itching to get back on the track next year.

There really isn't anything wrong with the car, and if I wasn't planning to race wheel to wheel I'd probably be doing open track events with this car next year. The car just doesn't get driven much, and it isn't doing me any good letting it sit around.

First off, awsome car!!!!
Just curiouse what it runs.

Gary K

Thanks!

I don't dragrace, so I have no idea what it runs. There is a local 1/8 mile track, and I've been wanting to go see what it would do there but didn't get a chance to before it got cold.

Gary you do come across some cool Cars :cool: I'm still loving the ZR-1 I bought from you last year. Good luck with this one.

Guys, Gary is a straight shooter when it comes to his cars :thumbs:

Gary K

Thanks for the bump...I trust that you're still exercising that ZR-1 on a regular basis :)

At first glance I thought you were in Washington, then I noticed it was Virginia, too far away. Great looking car, good luck with the sale. Take care...Jeff
