hey guys:

i have the opportunity to buy a 99 z28 with 155k its a A4. with flowmaster exhaust.. the girl is looking to get 2900 for it do you think its a good deal?? also what would this run in the 1/4 mile?? i know ls1 turn better numbers then my lt1 would just trying to get a feel because i dont know theses cars very well.. thank you guys for your insight and help

 

Not a bad deal. I would have to see what condition the paint/exterior is in. any rips in the seats, headliner falling, etc....

 

the exterior is in real good shape so is the interior.. the car was garage kept.. i knew it wasnt a lie when i looked at the headlights and there isnt any oxidation on them.. i know most of this body style gets oxidation on the headlights pretty easy.. i havent went to look at the car in person yet just pix.. its about 45 min away from my house...

what are 99 z28s runnig at the track with flowmaster exhaust? low 13's high 12's?

 

155k is alot of miles, motor might be a little tired. With that current setup your probably looking at mid 13's if your a good driver. If you endup buying the car it wouldn't hurt to do a nice tune up and do a compression test while your at it, also take a look at the oil pressure that should give you an indication of what shape the motor is in.

 

yeah i would def look at that watch for the oil pressure to drop under acceleration right? im not overly concerned cause it is a lady that owns it not a young kid.. soo that definitely makes me feel alittle better about it .. the first thing i will do when i get it home is plugs and wires and change all the fluids to royal purple ..

 

Don't waste your money with royal purple, go with Mobil1 and for the tranny go with B&M trick shift fluid (you can get it at any part store) it has done wonders on my tranny.

 

12s? Yeah, in negative DA and perfect conditions

I saw a 2001 TA running 14.0-14.1 @ 99-100 last weekend (auto car) with exhaust and a lid -- 3 different drivers -- same results. No bad spinning out of the hole, either. 2.0 60's. Of course it was 2000+ DA.

Just a flowmaster exhaust? I'd expect it to go maybe 13.30s-13.40s in the winter.

 

With the restrictive flowmaster and those miles, I see you running 13.80-13.95

 

sounds like a great deal, i'd be all over it......don't let the mileage scare ya
