Yeh, I can see where your coming from. I think they just put cam in and got a ****ty tune, Idle is a little high to almost 1k rpms isnt that a little high? I would think it should be around 750rpms?

Should be picking it up on Tues, so I will deff. take some pics and stuff. Car really needs rims though, has the stock 5 spoke ones on there. Since i'm already typing here...any idea on how hard it is to lower these cars? I keep seeing lowered on stock bolts, what does that mean?

Mine does this a bit too. The car is cammed and the previous owner told me that the tuner did it to keep the car from stalling when you let off the gas. I've had tuner's tell me that it can be fixed. Tuning techniques have come a long way over the past couple of years and although this was normal at one time, now it can be resolved. I am currently working on getting mine fixed. It's driveable but can be annoying sometimes.

Im so confused by some of these comments...How is it a peice of junk? It's a corvette. Ok someone modded it and didnt get a good tune, whats the problem im sure it happens all the time, espcially if the people don't search the internet and find good places to tune.

You know that the cam has been changed. Again that's not a big deal because for next to nothing you could put a stock cam back in ( I don't know why you'd do that but you could).
If those are the only two "problems" ( I don't think they're real problems) the the car is a good buy and, if YOU like everything else about the car -BUY IT.
Just be careful, have a mechanic look it over if possable and remember sometimes if a deal is too good, it isn't a good deal at all.
Best of luck
