LS1 opportunity
I've got an opportunity to pick up a lightly modded 2000 Camaro Z28 with 85k mi for $10,000.
The car is actually for sale by a friend of mine, it's got:
SLP Lid
Pacesetter Longtube Headers
Pacesetter Off-road Y-Pipe
Flowmaster Cat-Back
Dyno Tune - 333rwhp on a DynoJet
Other than that, it's bone stock and it runs well. I've driven the car many times and I enjoy it as a fair-weather cruiser that sounds amazing and has great potential.
I'm curious how other LS1 owners feel about their cars and if this is a good deal or not. He paid $11 for the car last summer and has put about $2k in parts/labor into it.
I am done modding the Evo, so you can forget about droppign $10k in that
Also, I don't plan on going crazy on the LS1 if I get it... I'm thinking just some 17x11 wheels, some 315 drag radials, an intake, cam, and 4.10's

it's a 2000 ? for 10K. I would have just put that money in a bucket and burn it then spend it on a car like that. Sorry man I don't want to be an a** but come on 10k for a 8 year old car?

It's not a daily driver... just a small muscle car project, nothing crazy or expensive.
I figure the car is worth $8k private sale... but I could either find a stock one for $8 and spend $2000 on mods, or just buy this as-is for $10.
I know it's not a "steal" but I was just curious how others felt about the car & platform

Gobs and Gobs of torque is a beautiful thing...
10K for a car with 85k miles is awefully high.....
but if you decide to get it, look at ATI prochargers....
even bigger gobs and gobs of torque...

Imo I would pay a little more for one that has less mileage. I glanced at ebay and found some nice buys there. Not saying that this wouldn't be a deal for you though..

If its the Top Gear casting crew ... Jeremy Clarkson would say " Its a pile of Rubbish "
LoL .. Good luck on the purchase ... I would spend 10k and ask someone to make me a WRC widebody ... I really haven't seen anyone run that kit on the street in the US ... at lease to my knowledge ...
