As for places to buy them go to craigslist.com I see plenty of them on there every day. Autotrader is OK too, other than that keep your eye out in the little car lots. I found one the other day, 5 speed perfect, black on black, already slightly modded LS1 and it was 5k at this little shop up here.

Worst advice I think I have ever heard. I guess a woman would never mod or race a car

All I am saying is don't be naive. I know plenty of women in their upper 30's-late 40's and have heads cam and spray.
