Well - have not heard back..... I am sure the first guy came through.
Some guessed it - some were real creative
lingenfelter 427 twin turbo C5 vette. 29k miles (5k on 427 setup)
repaired car with salvage title and a jacked up clutch - went for under 35K
would have been a keeper.....
427TT upgrade goes for far more than that by itself. faaaaawwwwwwk!
ah well, bet next time I don't take so long to jump -
the real bitch is the C5 is the one that really makes me drool......

yes - you got it!
I have looked at a few others - all virgin cars - the C5 lingenfelter 427TT is bringing 80-90K.
Too many other hobbies and interests to go that deep..... but geeze $35K - in a heartbeat! \
only thing I can be thankfull is I don't have to try to keep tires on it LOL
I can imagine with my driving and that much power backed with a the six speed a new pair of tires could vanish in a weekend.
All good - I was not lookin forward to selling 951 anyway... is finally getting all sorted as it is starting to become the car I am after.

I chickened out on buying a flood damaged 2006 lotus elise with 0 miles on it. I am still regretting it. Somebody in Houston stole it from the dealership, got in a chase with the cops, and crashed it into a large body of water and swam away. The car had no miles before that. Went for $6000 with a water salvage title. Dont feel so bad there will always be more lotuses and lingenfelters around....
