Details
Less than 10k miles since LS3 conversion and installation at Vengeance Racing. Nitrous kit was installed and tuned by Vengeance Racing and NEVER sprayed or turned on after that - I've had several nitrous, supercharged and turbo cars in the past; the need to spray this car just never arose.

Ron Mowen at Vengeance did a phenomenal job spec'ing out the cam for this project. There is a nice lope at idle and the car has awesome street manners. Cruising at 40mph in 6th gear produces zero lurch. Car makes just under 400rwtq below 3000 rpm and builds power progressively with a 6700rpm shutoff. The DMH cutouts totally transform the car from 'slightly tougher than stock' sounding to 'I can't hear myself think what the heck my ears are bleeding' when opened.

I drive the car everywhere with no issues, heat and A/C work great, average 15mpg city and 20+ highway (depending, of course).

Currently, the EBCM needs to be rebuilt (~$150 at www.absfixer.com), the gas gauge works intermittently, the exterior temp gauge reads 69, and the paint is typical for a 52k mile garaged but driven car. None of those things bother me but I wanted to point them out.

Selling because we recently had our second child and I'm looking for a more practical (albeit less fun) four door.

$24,900 firm

Great looking car, If it wasn't for me having to drive something in the snow, I'd probably offer up my 08 Grand Prix GXP (5.3L) with 31k for a trade with some cash on my end. 4 doors and still pretty fun, albeit still my slowest car. Here's a bump for ya
