It does seem a bit counterintuitive, though I think it was a consignment car, so maybe their cut of the sale isn't worth spending too much effort to advertise/sell it (and even less so at 19K vs 25K....) I would assume Devek is working on getting their website up and running again as fast as possible. To do anything but can't be good for business, no?


EDIT: Just looked at the link Gio posted in post #7- maybe it's not the same car I'm thinking of, I'm pretty sure the '89 GT they listed was black. Anyhoo, sorry for the confusion if I'm talking about the wrong car.....

Modified cars appeal to a much smaller audience, and it might be a lot of work to get it smogged in Calif.

The beauty of the STROKER is it looks stock no one would ever know it is stroked. The draw back to a stroker is no one knows it it stroked unless you step on the loud pedal HARD ! Open the hood on a stroker and no one notices....

Jim's right -- as long as it's been tuned properly(which I think it's fair to assume that it has) and it hasn't had wild cams put in the impact on emissions should be nil. Well, more emissions, more air/fuel going through per unit of time, but the proportions of monitored gasses should still be in spec.

I too want to see pics, i keep hearing this is a nice color. $19,000 seems like a good deal too.

I misread the thread, I was looking at Gio's car. oops.

Hmm, 6.0 and 360 hp on the dyno, sounds a bit low for flywheel and way high for rwhp. Thats why I just assumed it was the blown car in Gio's sig.

360 at the wheels is probably over 400-410 at the crank

Sounds about right for a 6.0L, not sure what your thinking on this one Dang

She said that maintenance wise it was up to date. I know I looked at the website back in late April/eraly May but it's not cached in my Google desktop. Will be interesting to see what it goes for.
Driver seat in poor shape, rest of interior is OK, owner actually had us replace the rear interior quarter panels with really nice used ones a few months ago in hopes to help sell the car.

THE AC WORKS! COLD!

5.4 is 345 flywheel, 6.0 is 12% larger, so maybe 390 flywheel. I have a large natural resistance to HP claims, and its only been a couple days since I got some of the basic reference points for the 928 into my head, modifications I am not quite ready for.

Putting down 360 rwhp on a calif street legal 6.0L isn't easy when you don't have much you can do with heads and cams. 320 rwhp is what I see from a typical 5.0L with ported intakes, heads, and all the cam that will barely pass smog. A lot of time and effort must have gone into that motor to get 360 rwhp.
