A friend that is a mechanic at UPS here in town built the engine. Exploder did the install.
He is a member on this Forum. The trans was built by Finnishline around Chicago. If you want I will PM you his phone number.

Did you ever put laughing gas on this car? It seems like you did some engine work to handle a power adder.

just my guess since i don't know the owner.....

but I have observed that when you lower the asking price, there is much more interest and the car usually finds a new owner much faster, sometimes within a day....

i.e. the C6 with 38K miles that sold on the C6 forum for $20,000 last week

Well yeah when you under price anything its going to sell faster, or lose its perceived value in the minds of potential buyers. Not saying this is under or over priced, just wondering what influenced the seller to start his number at $11k when a quick basic blue book/edmunds/nada will show higher value.

I work out of state alot.I dont get to drive it much.The Old Lady wants a new deck, and im tired of her askin why this car sits in our garage. She will not drive it.It scares her.She wins. When you have a 7year old daughter and wife its not practical. I have it parked at a friends in a high traffic area. Vids will be up tonight.

No N2O. I figured the built driveline would have made it sell quick.

That was before Phillip Did the engine swap. Scott herd your cars runnin 10.30s. Thats sweet. Phillip is a great Guy. After he did the swap the rear main was leaking. He did all the labor and didnt charge a dime. Car ran 12.10 before the engine swap. I dont know what it runs now.
