I'm not saying that Greg is responsible for this guy getting hosed now(as he did not buy it from him direcly), just stating the obvious. It seems like he bought a car that was drag raced, street raced, and sprayed without his prior knowledge :bb He come on here and everyone tells him yeah the car was street raced and babied :rolleyes: That's bs, just tell the guy mabye he did not get the deal he thought he got :smash:

No, I am sorry, you are incorrect on your "assumptions and conclusions" about abuse to the car.

1st - Yes Greg did have nitrous on the car - but I dont think he ever used more than 1 bottle (max 2) during the entire time it was on the car.

2nd - yes Greg did street race the car some but he was never a "regular" racer although he was a regular attendant for a while a few years ago but rarely raced.

3rd - when he did race - it was usually from a roll - which does put "some strain" on the car - but no more than the majority of us do when we hammer our cars passing traffic.

4th - He did go to run his car at the track (1/4 mile) a few times and I can confidently say no more than 10 times ever. he was just curios to see "how he could do" with the mods he had on the car - again just like most of us do - but the car wasnt a "track car" or ever setup with slicks etc..

I hope you can get a better picture now - because if you knew this guy - you would understand why I am trying to get my point across - he is very caring about his assets and took meticulous care of the car.

Lastly, I gain nothing personal by responding to this thread - but I myslef am leary about by "used cars", hence I only want to re-assure the current owner of this car that he made a good choice.

:cheers:

Wow, I just so happened to be cruising the internet and all of the sudden I see my name. I have not even posted on here in months.

Why don't you take this to email or PM me and I will give you all the details. You should always research a car before you buy it. I never hid anything from anyone since you can read all my posts. Better yet here is my phone number and you are more than welcome to call me anytime you have any questions and I can give you the life story of the car good and bad.

Now this is a stand up guy :cheers: I wonder if this guy bought the car from a dealer?? I've sold my car to a dealer and then he turned around and sold it off as a stroker :mad I was pissed off for the guy that bought it because he called the Vette Doctors asking what kinda stroker was it, while I told the dealers it was heads/cam car and gave them all my reciepts and dyno charts :rant:
