Finally got another LS1

Its been over 4 years since i sold my T/A, and i got another one last night. 98 z28 m6, 95k miles, black, leather, cd changer and the following mods:

Koni single adjustable shocks front and back (adjustable height platforms on front)
Turn One power steering pump
Strano front sway bar
Hawk brake pads
SLP manual fan switch
MSD plugs, wires (300 miles ago)
180 degree stat
K&N Filter


paid 6500 for it, with some miscellaneous spare parts. new auburn diff, some extra rims. i had been looking at other cars in the area, a 99 z, an 01 z, this one felt the tightest. Obviously becuase of the refreshed suspension but the drivetrain also felt the best. The 01 and 99 i looked at had greasy looking valvecovers and misc. leaks. this one had none, the clutch/tranny felt the best, and was the cheapest so i bit. Did I come out ok?

Maybe a little high, but if you like it, that's all that matters

Basically a stock car with a few suspension pieces.

Seems like a good price to me. It's less than half of what I paid for my '02, and they're almost the same car.
