99' FRC, Formato's Car, Forged LS2/LS3 Top End
This was Jeremy Formato's personal car for almost 7 years. He modded it and tuned it. The car has almost exactly 77k miles on the chassis now. The LS2 and new T56 were installed less than 13k miles ago. I purchased it with the intent of driving it occasionally during the summer. I purchased it in January of 2013, I started a new job at the same time. I travel a lot more than I was anticipating and the car has sat (also due to the NW weather). I simply start it up and drive it around the block a couple days a week and leave the battery on a tender. I think I put around 600 miles on it? I honestly spent more time waxing it than driving it which is a shame. Was only caught in the rain twice. AC works exceptionally well and the car stays plenty cool.
It truly is a stunning looking car and drives great. The paint is near perfect with the front end getting a respray to correct for rock chips ~3k miles ago. The car will come with a full fresh fluid change front to back (literally as I type), new gasket set for the headers (they were blown out and new OEM GM gaskets are on the car), new spark plugs, and a pre-purchase inspection from PSI Motorsports (tunedbypsi.com). The car was dynoed a week ago by John Reed (tuner of UGR's Gallardo's/Aventadors), he didn't adjust the tune at all just simply looked over it for the new owner. Car made ~460whp. It does not have the Z06 badging nor does it have the faux carbon fiber near the shifter.
PLEASE TEXT or call if you are truly interested and have financing available. Located near Portland, Oregon.

Have you done any mods to the car since you got it? Are the rear screened brake duct functional? Dose it stilll have the 2 stage dry nitrous system? If so where is the bottle mounted and can i get a picture of it.
Thanks

Car is still available and can be optioned with a Nitrous Outlet plate system with Nitrous Outlet C5 standalone tank, can also be installed/tuned on whatever jetting you would like by the illustrious John Reed of JohnReedRacing.com
I will re-iterate, the car does NOT have nitrous on it currently. Kit is brand new in a box. Just giving possible buyers another option/enticement.

Yeah...I wish it wasn't so far away too. Looks like a great car. If I get tired of looking for something close by, I might have to consider shipping it...need to get some quotes.

Bump.
Just for the record, if you like the car and are serious don't tell me about other cars around you that you want or are looking at. I don't care.
Car has some new fun mods for those interested.
