Lost my job and was unemployed for close to two years and now two of three kids with tuition bills. 
To seriously campaign a car like this you need to be able to make an ongoing investment and or have the ability to do your own wrenching.
I am back at work now but have only replaced a little over half of what I was making two years ago.
So the car must go in order to meet higher priorities and I am grateful for what I have.

From: Providing the most proven supercharger kits for your C5/6/7 609-752-0321
We are looking to paint the car soon to freshen it up some. This season we will be running it in our 8.90 GM EFI index series, with a few 7 second passes to show it's capabilities to a potential buyer.
Last season I ran some low nines at 10lbs of boost, and letting off at the eighth. The car can easily handle 30+ lbs of boost no problem, and is chassis certed to 6.0.

Thanks Guys. This is a terrific car that has come together and overcame the last hurdle with getting the BS3 software straightened out. It has come together and is a rocket ship. If I get lucky and my career takes off again there is still a shot I will keep the car. The latest pressure is a good one. My daughter got into one of the top boarding schools in the country. The trouble with that is it costs as much as an Ivy League education. That said we are very proud of her and will support her education as she is an exceptional child.
