I over did it with the boost and the engine didnt like it For the boost I ended up running I really needed a standalone, 20 pounds is too much for a piggy back.

I am an East Coast guy and the great Northwest isn't really a cultural fit for me. On top of that my wife landed a really senior exec role that will help finance my Z06

The car isnt at the house so I dont have an opportunity to take pics right now.

lol....gotcha.

well thats cool, how long till you move here? when you get here i would love to meet up, always nice to meet fellow members.

im just trolling, not buying another car but thought pics would help both you and potential buyers. any interest in parting kit if not sold?

Thanks guys it is looking good for that Z06, the tranny is gone in my other car, no reverse or 5th gear, so as long as I can sell the GS I have to buy another car, it might as well be the Vette.

This is truly a nice car. $12,500 is a steal.

DAMN, $12,500 is a STEAL! I got the money but if it wasn't for this damn economy I would spend some cash on this no problem. I'd buy from you for $12,500 and for another $2,500 I would have a shop (perhaps SRT) transfer EVERYTHING (engine related) to my car and re-tuned. I would then try to off-load your car for $7K or so. Net effect would cost me roughly $8,000. Not bad for a turbo setup that I was looking for...but then you got that CRAP economy; I'd kick myself if god forbid something happens where I needed some of that money. Good luck with your sale...it is a beautiful car with very nice wheels. Someone will be VERY happy.

To the potential buyer...just think if you were planning on spending $20K on a used car...what would you get an '06 Maxima? You could pick this car up for $12,500 and spend another $7,500 making the tranny bullit-proof (not that there is a problem with it now; just for piece of mind) and re-building the cylinders for fresh compresion (adding to the cars longevity). So, for $20K you can have something that would be a CRAZY wicked M5 killer!

Yea guys if I didnt want that Z06 so bad I might keep playing with it a little longer. But that boosted Z has been calling me for a few years now.

Yeah, a boosted new Zo6 is BEYOND scary. Be careful man... Hell, a stock new Zo6 has an edge on most if not all Lambo's, I couldn't even imagine another 100-150whp added to that sucker.
