Also here is the thread the owner made a couple months ago, he took out most of his modifications to lower the price of the car

Under his list of exterior mods, it says SLP body kit. Hood and rear spoiler look terrible in my opinion. Says Firebird on the door which means its a V6.
Some of that body kit isn't too bad though.

[Hwystar]

the body kit looks alot like the Firebird W68 appearance package.

Mann, thats a ton of money to throw into a V6, the hood does look a little off to me as well and the spoiler looks like pretty bad.

Go with option 2

Good luck with that.

Could buy my car....but total of $16K for the car. Will likely run 10's though. Although not DD type material.

its got the v6/formula bumper on the front, which looks mean with the extras on it....that plus the rear bumper are the pretty sweet lookin.

[Hwystar]

Here is a photo of my 98 Firebird with the W68 sport appearance package. You can see the similarities on the front and side skirts. The rear bumper is not the same though.

option 2 definitely...option 1 is out of the question IMO unless he takes a couple grand off the selling price...option 3 is probably a v6

option 3 is a v8

and wouldnt you worry about the abuse issues , a lot of mods in option 2....got installed then taken out

10's for less than 10K Could be done with nitrous, wouldnt be a daily driver for long with the amount you would need though.

Edit: I just saw the N/A part. Maybe with used parts and doing the work all yourself it's possible for 10K but it's gonna be a stretch.

OP I say option one if you can get it for 3500. It has the LS6 intake from the factory, the ram air hood, and decent wheels.

Mr Luos, I wish you had been selling your car a year ago. I would have jumped on it for sure.

531.1 RWHP 481.3 FT/Pounds
7.650 at 92.66 (Bandimere Speedway -- 5800 feet -- 7900 Density Altitude)
11.902 at 117.29 (5800 feet -- 7900 Density Altitude)

I dont understand, how fast is your car? 1/4 mile

If it wasn't for the Elevation, it would run 10's. The elevation adds to the ET because the DA (Density Air) is not as good as it would be at sea level. The car performs worse than it would at a lower elevaton because of some science stuff that is way over my head.

11.90 spinning. With a DA of 7900 feet.
Corrected for the DA it is 10.7 at 130. Can't claim it as I have not ran it. But that is why I said 'LIKELY run 10's' in my post.

Option 2 or even #3 the red dealer car is ok. Stay away from 1. That is alot for a car with 110k that you can't test drive and needs mechanical and paintwork.

agreed far to much. option 3 isnt 2 bad, miles r pretty decent for that price
