Who did the head work? What was done to them?

Make sure that head work was actually done on this car instead of them feeding you a line just so they can move it.

Word of this head issue on the LS7 has gotten around.

They possibly know that this car is going to be harder to sell if it has not had the heads done on it, than if it actually has had the heads done on it being that it is cammed.

w/Quick. Get it for a good price and then take it to a good Vette shop and have them open the covers and check out what has been done to the engine since there's no warranty. The LS7 is not cheap.

You'll love JSB. I never realized it until I bought one myself .


Add: never mind....above.

Good luck.

Did he mention why he sold it? Sounds like he made it a solid street set up and sold it? Sounds like a beast for sure.

He went with a ZR1. He owns Speed Inc in Chicago. This was his personal car.

black car's been up f/s for a long time and has high miles IMO.

blue car is nice, but I don't trust the dealership that's selling it, I've heard and read bad reviews about them, but this might not be the case if you can talk to the previous owner and get the 411.

I just checked out that car on eBay, their asking price isnt too bad. It'd be a bit on high side if it was stock but its got some great mods. Ppl will tell you well mods dont add to value, that might be true but you're looking for a modded one so those mods are worth a lot to you.

Im looking to do same mods and its roughly $10k. Blue is also rare and could be worth a bit more say over black.

Plus i know from E90post you been looking for a while so time to end this

Blue car has mismatched tires. Fronts look like Nittos while rears are GY EMTs, it also has a missing Key FOB. With these cars I like to know where all of the original key fobs are located since anybody with a fob can just walk up and drive your car away.

Hard to tell from the pictures of either car how much road rash either car has on the sides and rear quarters. JSB is good at hiding the damage so you have to get very close to see it.

If it was me I wouldn't be interested in either since both have power train mods and I don't trust performance mods as I have seen a lot of them that screwed up a car Vs improving it. The mods may be why one car has had 5 owners.

I wanted a modded car. Having talked with original owner, I am confident. Ive been looking since Nov, so I dont just rush into things. As for tires, those are addressed, shes getting NT05s all around.
