I'm trading my GT for this car... Anyone have any suggestions or comments about the car.. Anything I should be cautious about with this year?

The only thing I'm not to be big on are the flames, but I will just get that repainted more likely.

Is there anyway that this car would put any where near 400-450 to the tires with the mods listed??

As you can tell, I'm not much of a chevy guy.:D

Thanks!

[Suicidal Racing]

yes the power sounds right to me but i'm not an lsx person so i'm sure one will responded

[primetime1267]

any idea of what this car would be worth, if I wanted to flip it?

[Suicidal Racing]

15 to 18gs i think i know they hold there value good..i know some one who just got one and they paid around 15gs and that not with half the performance stuff

[HybridSS]

It should put down around 415-430 rwhp depending on how good the heads were done up and the tuning. Mac midlenght headers arent all that great...but I have seen some decent #s with them. Not a bad car. Where is it located.

I would say value is a little less than what Ghost 727 said. id say between 14 to 17k depending on the up close condition.

[primetime1267]

Thanks HybridSS,
The car is located in Texas. I have been doing some searching on LS1 for the past couple of hours. I didnt realize how bad the 10 bolt rears are in those cars. Should it hold for awhile at these power levels?

The car will never see slicks of course, maybe some TR events or weekends with DR's.

he did say he "upgrade rebuilt" the rear end. but congrats on finding your way over from the dark/blue oval side

I havent told any of my Oval Boys yet. ssssshhhhh!!! :lol:
I might get banned from the Ford forum. We'll see, we are still working out some
of the details on the trade still. Hell, I havent even driven an SS yet, I might go test drive one this week at some dealer, if I can find one.

[Suicidal Racing]

once u go chevy man u will never go back to the dark side

[HybridSS]

the ten bolt is a crap shoot. I went 10.3 at 135 on mine with a six speed and 1.44 sixty foot. One of the axles did get twisted slightly though.

Others break them on the street. Wheel hop is real bad for these rears. But you will probably be ok. If it breaks parts are usually cheap.

[Guado]

Why did he put a new motor in it? Other wise looks ok. I just wonder how bad it was abused....

[BLUE2KSS]

plus one on the abused part

m6's have much more problems with the rear than the auto's do

i bought mine with 28k miles on it last year from a family friend for 15k. it was immaculent. 2 weeks later i got 2 offers for 17k. might give you an idea what people might be willing to pay for a mint SS. keep in mind mine is STOCK. i just threw in a k&n, lol



i went from this car

to this car

and trust me, i miss the fox, but i can drive this car everyday and not worry.


when i get hired at my career job, ill build another fox someday i know it. but the SS is a mean ass car.

look what HybridSS has done with his. its got the stock motor in it, cam, heads never been off the motor, exhaust, stall suspension and on the spray going 10.30's soft out of the hole


cant lose man

[corey r.]

that fox is clean as fuck I woulda kept both!

[2kSnakeater]

DO IT!! TRADE!!! FOX'S ARE WHORTHLESS OMG IF YOU DONT IL GO AND BUY A FOX JUST TO TRADE WITH THAT IDIOT WHO HAS THE SS!!

0-50k miles range in $22k-17k
50-80k range in $17k-$13
90+ are $13k-$7k

Only if you consider 1.4 60's soft. :lol:

Keep in mind his car has drastic weight reduction, and a th400 tranny. There is no over drive or lock up and you cannot drive that car every day and not worry.

Actually Al's car is reliable now. Its got a basically cam only motor. The only bad part is you just cant go very fast down the interstate because of the tranny/ stall/ gear combo.

[corey r.]

Its totally reliable. no doubt about that! But you wouldnt want it as a DD. I am still drooling over that black fox... why the fuck did you sell that!? :-o

[BLUE2KSS]

honestly, was going to have to put a motor in it again, and it wasnt the MOST reliable car ive owned. i started learning on that car and went from knowing how to do oil changes to pulling the trans and motor in 2 years.

i moved to tampa and am now going to USF and didnt want to bother with wrenching on it in an aparment complex parking lot without my toolboxes. engineering classes are enough of a pain in the ass


trust me, i miss it everyday

[primetime1267]

well guys..... I just found out some interesting info on the SS.

Come to find out the car has a rebuilt title!!! I even asked the asshole if the car was ever in an accident before.. "NOPE, it has a clean title". What a dick! :mad:

He bought the car from Oklahoma and just got the car retitled in Texas. That's how it has a clean title. Gotta love CarFax!!


Any idea what a rebuilt SS would be worth??? Now I just wonder what else is wrong with the car he isnt telling me.

Well, back to selling the mustang I guess!!! :-(

[Country Boy]

dont buy a rebuilt title car. Youll never know the extent of the damage. Plus, on a unibody car, its hell... They arent worth shit.

[primetime1267]

thats what I was thinking!!!

[Guado]

Stay away. If he doesn't tell you something like THAT...waht else isn't he telling you.

[BLUE2KSS]

why you selling the mustang anyways?

that car is mean from what ive seen on the boards

married life took over I guess... :crack: Got married in Oct of last year. And now she doesnt want the car in the garage, no racing time allotted...etc, etc.....

And I have to pay for her nursing school.. Ugh!

But we have made a deal though, when she finishes nursing school. I get to build a bigger and badder muda' pucker! Muuuu aaa waaa!

[corey r.]

That's one thing my future wife will know very well and I will be very clear on this. I will have a fast car and race it. Dont like that? SEE YA!

[primetime1267]

Yep, I said the same thing.... You will come to find out things once you get married bro.. ;)

[corey r.]

That why I am waiting for the right chick. Hell I just may stay single. No reason for some hoe to take half my shit if it doesnt work out. Ive seen it happen and it almost happend to me.

[2kSnakeater]

Id do it, shes going to nursing school. After school when she gets a job rolling in the mula, she can buy you a vette.

[2kSnakeater]

I knew it sounded too good to be true, and rebuilt doesnt mean crashed. I would still do it, but look at it in money value, how much is the fox worth? that ss being rebuilt is now in the $9k's is the fox worth that much? if it worth more tell the guy that you want money on top, and make sure you get that SS inspected by somebody who knows F-Bodies, rev ex would be a good place to get it inspected.
