Everything is ready to sell! Already sold a handful of parts. Only thing is shipping the hood would be crazy expensive and a big hassle.

I have a partout thread in the regional section.

I really want an Evo. But the ones that haven't been abused are either not in existence or too expensive. STi, newer WRX sedan, 03/04 Cobra, 11+ 5.0 Mustang, something along those lines are what I'd like to get into. Evo being at the top of the list. Just need to find the right deal on one.

Yeah. really the new 5.0 mustangs, imo, are the best "bang for the buck" car available right now as far as reliability, power, cost goes. can make 425whp with just bolt ons and a tune. can be had for right at $20k with 40-50k miles.

but yeah. i think it's going to be a little harder to sell my parts & car than i thought. i am really regretting not holding on to my stock parts. so i'll have plenty of time to make up my mind

when i was looking at cars, i knew i wanted a vette.... but at first i was thinking a base would be okay... then i started looking at the differences between the base and the Z06. i went with the z06 because it is fast as hell right out of the box and i dont have to spend any money on it right now. i wanted as low as miles as possible and ended up getting an 08 z06 with 10k miles.

Yeah i saw the picture. That thing looks very very nice. Trying to keep it $20k or less. I have stumbled across a few c5 z06s but I really want something newer as in 2010+. Which is why i've kind of steered away from the 03/04 cobras as well.

That's nice. I'll probably try to look at a 2011-2012 model with 25-40k miles though just to fit the budget.

I won't be moving on anytime soon because I haven't completely put the Z to fully use of enjoyment yet. Good luck with you, fellas who have move on for the best.

Got with a buddy and took some rolling shots of the Z today.

Damn, crazy to see all the work you put in step by step and then suddenly it's back to stock.

What is up next?
