Default Anyone familiar with this car?

Locking this thread as the car from the link has been discussed at length in other threads. Thanks for the help.

I'm not sure where exactly to put this thread. But as the FI community seems to be pretty tight and I think this is the best place. I'm in the market for a CHEAP Z. I found a couple salvage Z's but also this one. Any history on the site with this particular Z?

from what I remember that was posted about a few weeks ago. There is no turbo in that car. Just the intercooler piping is routed and thats it.

Oh and the word "cheap" and FI dont go together at all. With that car that you posted there is probably more problems with it then what the seller is going to tell.

If you looking for some good well kept Zs check the sales in the marketplace

No clue - but do NOT buy this car. Buy a nice CLEAN one, with no problems, and work your way up to a turbo setup instead of this fake F/I setup. Man...that car just makes me sick to my stomach

Sorry for not posting more clearly. I have no interest in going FI, I was just curious if the car was safe or if the motor was about to pop. I'm searching for a car to gut for club events. I have found a few Z's that have been salvaged (no body damage - just flood). Mechanical things I can fix, body is out of my realm.

I suspect it had a turbo or turbos and is a theft recovery hence the salvage issue on the title. The only car I'd ever buy with a salvage title is a daily driving beater that I can afford to throw away.

EDIT Read some more, car has headders so it was most likely a vortech, ATI possibly Stillen SC, not turbo chargerd.
