He was on slicks and his car runs 11's I think, I wouldnt need it that strong, though it did still explode
, ahh hell I'll drop in a ford 9"
.
How much money am I looking to spend on a 95 camaro 6speed in good condition with less than 130,000kms? I looked at the buy and sell and got huge variations in price.

Its a 94 but its the only one within my price range, what you guys think of it? I dont really like the color, but looks in good shape. Why the hell is this one 12,300obo and the rest want like 17 grand

Plain and simple, buy a 95 TA, you can change the front end to look like the new ones for under ~$2000. I love my Lt1, and I must say that if it is the opti that is screwed on my TA it finally went after over 200k I plan on doing the new front end soon. My rear end, so far <knocks on wood> has not gone, although it is starting to howl. For the money in mods, ie exhaust headers, pulleys, etc , I think you can get into 12's for under $2000. If you look at Ollie's car, from what I know, he's got an exhaust, cam and headers, probably lesss than $2k and he's hitting 12's.
Also, and others will speak from experience, as well, do not as ummm some people did
buy everything brand new. You can find great deals on people parting out stuff on this board. You can save a heck of a lot of money that way. Oh yeah, and it's ok to ask questions, I wish I had asked more 
. Do ur research!!!

Ask Bunker what it took to import his car across the border.
I need to get rid of this Firehawk. 94 Firehawk #306 of 500 w/ 69k (just over 100k kms), has been updated to the 95+ Vented Opti as mentioned previously, has a Bolt Ons already, and obviously much more rare then any of the other F-Bodies. Oh, and I could sell it for about the same as that Camaro you're looking at after the Currency Conversion. 
No accidents, Nice car, you get the picture.
