docwyte Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I’ve owned this car for 6 years and swapped it shortly after I got it due to the factory motor having unreasonable amounts of blow by. I initially put in a used motor from a 2002 Camaro SS but after three years went to a built 383 stroker motor. This car is incredibly fast and will easily run down 996 GT3’s at the track while being docile driving around town. I built the car as a street/Time Trial car, as such it still has niceties such as air conditioning, cruise control, stereo etc. Everything on the car works, power windows, sunroof, the aforementioned A/C and so on. I went through the process of getting the car emissions inspected in the state of Colorado, its 49 state emissions compliant, not currently compliant for California although with some work it could be. The swap has received Colorado states blessing and the car gets tested as a ’02 Camaro SS. It easily passes emissions every time I’ve gone, it fast passed the last time I took it last spring. All body panels are original and still have the VIN tags on them. Most of the paint is still original and being 25 years old is showing its age. It looks good, but has lost some of its luster. The graphics are vinyl and will easily peel off. The nose/bumper show typical rock chips and there’s a small “outtie” dent above where the throttle body sits on the hood. The car is straight, no accidents, no stories. I’ve extensively gone through this car mechanically in the past six years and have basically rebuilt the entire car with all new parts. I’ve added/fabricated many parts that aren’t part of a normal LS swap to keep the car happy and running correctly long term such as a custom oil cooler, power steering cooler, auxiliary radiator and adding modern ABS from a Porsche Boxster. The motor was built by Thompson Racing and has less than 3000 miles on it. I’ve been competing with NASA Time Trial Group 2, which has a power to weight limit. That’s constrained the current motor power wise, a cam swap would probably add upwards to 50 more horsepower at the wheels; as it currently sits its making 422rwhp and 410 ft lbs at the wheels. All wear items on the car have less than 5000 miles on them. I have an extensive set of spares including body panels, wheels/tires and the like that can also be included with the sale but will be priced separately from the sale of just the car. I will not part out the car or my spare parts unless the car sells as is, whole first. Asking price for the car is $25,000 obo.
