^if its just an ls2 then its 400hp outta the box, with heads cam exhaust headers then your lookin at 500+hp

Memphis · 01 Jun 2008, 12:56 am

Ye you can put down 400 without even messing with the heads.

someone's shenagans, don't buy it.

vette12 · 01 Jun 2008, 03:21 pm

yea i considered that. but it was a speed shop in collaboration with other companies. It wasn't just one dude. apparently it was pretty well done, was in corvette enthusiast for two months as they documented the swap.

also found out it has headers and cai already installed.

he made this video of the interior for me today...

I figured. 160 for dash, 50 for console, 700 for door panels and 150 for dash pad... so 1200 for interior replacement would be good and then another 2 grand on heads/cam and this car would be good to go.

don't buy it. that c4 just screams shitty 3rd gen fbody interior

01mmmz28 · 01 Jun 2008, 05:06 pm

I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't even invest the $ for heads and cam on that motor, the results wont impress you for the amount you will spend. I still think that a C5 is your best bet.

not really, just the fact it's a c4 with a c6 engine.
compromise and get a c5, wont be disappointed and not worry about what parts are on it or who installed them

or

get a job and buy a real c6

bmxer99 · 01 Jun 2008, 07:05 pm

vette12 · 01 Jun 2008, 07:30 pm

vette12 · 01 Jun 2008, 08:02 pm

?? eh?

hence the c4 with a more potent engine for a price I could afford. Technically I would sell mine so, its not really about affording it, just swapping out.

American Psycho · 01 Jun 2008, 08:33 pm

you act like the c5 models are expensive.

Sure like most sellers, lots of retarded owners think they own gold. but really lots of vette owners tend to sell the fair market price due to new models or AARP declined them

I'd sell mine for low 20's. Just because i want the new model camaro.

vette12 · 02 Jul 2008, 03:17 pm

Ok, clearly I'm having a hard time finding the right new corvette for me.

so here we go again. What would you pay for this one?

1990 Corvette ZR-1 64k miles. Wants $18,500, what would you pay?

American Psycho · 02 Jul 2008, 03:32 pm

I'd pay 18 for a Zr1
