I think it's a fair asking price considering the options and condition of the car (looks fantastic btw). I'd think reasonable counter offers within a few thousand should still be considered since...

That is about right for my 3500 as well but to barely get moving and what I consider normal average take off in my SS takes closer to 2800-3000rpm and the exhaust is really opening up at that point. ...

The Vig's (Vigilante) from Precision Industries were a bit looser than the Yanks. At least this was the case in the LS1 world, not sure if that still applies. But the Vig 2800 for instance used to...

Awesome Story, congratulations Christopher!

What is the ruling on roll cages, etc. for most 1/4 tracks. At what point do most tracks require you to have extra safety features installed?

Revving to 5500rpm and dumping the clutch is asking for something to break imo. Some of the best launches I have seen at the track and in video here on the forums were at 3500ish rpm.

Good luck...
