It's a 99. Has 6k on the motor and trans. Payed 10.5. Pretty good deal I'd say.

We just paid the L off in Feb and were supposed to get a "family" vehicle. Instead we bought a motorcycle!

I should have. But I was planning on getting an SUV at the time. Oh well. Maybe later on I'll own another one. :D Till' then, I'll have fun with this.

I think you did great. That's a sleeper car with those stock wheels. Will make well north of 600rwhp/600rwtq on the spray. Yee-haw!

Everyone here would disown me if they saw the truck I'm running around in now. But hey, my son has had a couple of "lessons" in his new DSG Lightning, so its all still in the family.

Good luck with your new hot-rod!

Thanks, Man. I plan on running a 150 shot most of the time. Maybe a 200 on occasion. I like the look of the ZR1's. Looking for some 17x11's for the rear.

Thanks man. It definitely has more power. I can't wait to see what it does with a 150-200 shot!

I'm not sure. The ONLY thing holding this car back, is the 10bolt rear. I try to be easy on the launches and mostly get on it from a roll. A 9in' or 12bolt will be in the future for sure.

What were your complaints about it?

There was nothing wrong with it. It only had 25K miles on it. It was an extremely clean car. I guess I felt it couldn't replace my white Lightning.

No, but I am trying to grow one out at the moment! Nothing like rolling down the highway, t-tops and your mullet flapping in the wind. :icon_cool:

While yea, it is dated. It's a cheap, fun car. :D

As much as I am over them, that is a sharp one. At least you have a better sense of humor than the guy with the 350z:tex:D
