Hmmmm.... AFR doesn't make LS7 heads? Makes me wonder about the other claims...

No way listed mods will yield 800HP.

Good luck! I picked up a REALLY nice silver one off ebay earlier this month. Flew down to OC, seller picked us up at the airport. Surveyed the car, drove it back to the bay area. It was everything it was supposed to be!
Regardless of the mods/HP, hope yours is as clean as it looks. Does it come with the girl?!

I wouldn't buy that sight unseen. Like others said, no way it makes power, seems like a generic mod list, some of the parts like AFR heads don't even exist. If you want a nice heads/cam great shape Z06 I know a very nice one for $34500, 07 heads/cam nicely modded.

Another thing, 3LT wasn't offered until 08. So it can't be a 3LT car.

Bargain hunters and bottom feeders are always willing to overlook a few things when the deal of a lifetime pops up. 800hp with those mods, lol.

Florida tags on a New Mexico car also throws some flags.

If you want a car from New Mexico, buy the one I'm talking about. Much nicer car for less money, and it isn't a scam.

Get notified of new replies

To FINALLY found the one.

I think I have seen this Z in Artesia NM. It sure looks like it. Just looked at eBay link and it states Artesia. I have recently seen this car then. I also saw it a few years ago so its been around here a while.
Do you want me to race it... I have 600 rwhp, could see how it does.
