WTB: 98-02 M6 LS-1 Firebird or Z-28 for under $5000 for race car!
I am looking for a car cheap to turn into an American Iron car. It does not need to be pretty or fancy. In fact, I don't want T-tops or loaded TA's or any special editions. I am going to gut the car and get it as light as I can, so interior is also not a concern. I need your help. I sold my Vette, and have a 94 Mustang sitting in the garage that I cannot stomach having to race. Please!!! help me stay an LS-1 racer, and show up these mustang guys.

If money is spent correcly 5k can go a long ways. The stock T-5 can handle a decent amount, 2500-3k into the engine, used supercahrger with a safe tune and some supporting mods, 2k-2500 should get the suspension done.

Take a look at some top American Iron cars from NASA, not to argue but they are a lot different from a what you describe.

Well no offense but I don't really see how buying something wrecked even if it has 80 more hp is something better to build a car you speak of. With something with damage or wrecked (which is the only kind of LS1 you're getting for 5k) that isn't really a great platform to build an American Iron Car that You speak of.

Velocity Yellow- 2008 Corvette Z06
Good luck, but I would like to see it when your are done
Hey, good luck. I tried this a few years ago. They are worth much more parting them out, but it's a pain in the *#&@.
I know where there is a real nice 98 (maybe 99) in Kansas City area, he has an iron block 6L with forged bottom end, forged rods and pistons, LSX intake, Nitrous, headers, cage, and all ready to race. He lost interest because he has a new crotch rocket. IT is really nice and he wants $20K. He has far far more then that in it. It really sounds awesome, he brought it to one of our last summer car shows we have monthly.
I suspect it will run low 10s now, and can easily get into the 9s with some tuning. Not sure though. I know the engine was built by pros.
Let me know if you have any interest and I will try and put you in contact wtih Nate.
