I checked it out more today. The interior is more worn than the pictures indicate, and the rubber seal around the doors is in poor shape. The plastic on the door fell down as soon as I opened it. It's a cool car, for sure, though.

it's quick. Even has a 6-speed manual. One thing I don't really care for is the nitrous kit installed though.
Take it! If you don't buy it, put them in touch with me, I'll drove to Alabama to get a deal like that. Who cares about the nitrous, just remove it later. (Assuming it's not already blown up from it.)
for tht kind of money just get an LS3 from GMPP and be done with it. GMPP offers an LS6 as well but I wouldn't bother with it.

This boils down to what you want with the car. Cool cruiser? ZR1. Track car? C5Z. Both? Grand Sport C4

It's not blown up. I think the Nitrous is mainly for looks, he doesn't seem to like to use it. Complains about filling cost, it's a big bottle. And he regularly autocrosses the car (w/o nitrous).wlkelley3 wrote:

Yeah, no. Not worth $20k for sure. I do like the C4 ZR1s, though. There is an older gentleman who autocrosses his C4 ZR1 regularly with New England SCCA and he is damned fast. The LT5 may be finicky, but it sounds fantastic at WOT! I loves me some high-revvin DOHC V-8 action!
