How much did my buddy buy it for?

Nevermind, I've been told not to post the selling price



Haters, flame away. Oh, and to keep this H-T related here's a pic of my boosted slowness that will be getting owned daily by him from now on.

They're going away this week.

 

100k sweet deal.

 

that motor took 25,000 to build 25,000 is what it takes for a full cup block to be put together. it doesn't have a t-56 behind it. i mean, the 4L65e's (i think thats whats in C5's) is a stout tranny, but not as fun. the t-56 is about gm's only manual that can take that kind of abuse too, so i'd use it.

i dont like how the wheels are black, polish them or chrome dip them. i'm not a fan of the stickers either.

other than that (even though i hate LS series 427's)

Previous owner was a stunnA?

He bought it like this.

 

that Vette &gt; 99% of the cars on here

 

That car is fuggin sick.
Sounds like he got a pretty sweet deal too.

 

MTI is a little high on the prices but keep in mind that you get what you pay for. They are one of if not the best "domestic" performance companies out there. They build phenominal cars and have proven themselves time and time again. Your buddy got a hell of a car, I hope that he enjoys it.
