Kinda high for someone elses race car. Go fast parts don't make the car worth more money. Just my opinion though.

you'll spend an easy 8k in parts to dupe that setup; find out what shop did the work.

not a bad deal if the paperwork/title/history checks out.

Treadstone IC?

MSD 2 step, what ET is the car running??

Agreed. Hard to recoupe mods in a sale, but if done correctly you cant build one for that.

i got a lot more money into my car then that setup. i would ask for less then 27k. i would pay 22-24 for that car if it all checked out and it ran great.

That's too much $. If I were you I would buy a nice relatively stock Z and mod myself exactly the way I wanted rather than buying a car someone else beat on and maybe did half azz work on or cut corners. Btw tread stone intercoolers are awesome intercoolers

Yeah that seems way too much, especially with that mileage. The 2 step / line lock mods would scare me - sounds like it has seen a lot of track time. And I don't even see a clutch in the list, hopefully he isn't still running the stock clutch!

I don't think 24k would be a bad deal pending the clutch.

Cars running 10 lbs a boost scare me a little bit but this one has meth so as long as he kept the meth going it should be fine.

As long as the work checks out it'd be a nice car to pick up although I would haggle him down a bit,. That's a very conservative tune for 10psi + meth and only putting down 520whp.

You don't recover mod costs when selling a car. That's just how it is.

My bigger concern is the Pro-charger. How old is it? How many miles are on it? I bought a used C5Z with the same model Pro-charger. After a putting a mere 30K miles on the unit (total miles were around 40K), the Procharger developed a bad leak. The unit was sent to Procharger, supposedly repaired. When it came back and was installed on my car, it was still leaking! Couldn't believe they don't even bench test their work.

Check the unit for leaks!
