#2 a proven Tuner

Lets see 6,000 miles versus 13,000 and 480 RWHP or 350 RWHP.

I can have a car that has 7,000 less miles and a 130 more RWHP for a little more 4,000.00 Dollars. Car 2#

I checked the car #2. The heads/cam package alone constitutes the increased $$$. A heads/ cam package will run you ~$6,000. And then there's less mileage on the car. JMO

I think you would be happy with either one!!!!!!! Oh to mod or not to mod, that is the question.

 

[ROSSO Z]

It all depends on your risk tolerance and how much of your net worth will be tied up in your new car.

If it's just another toy and the $$$ don't matter, go for #2.

I would never buy a modded Z06 or any other modded car.

Good luck.

:z:

I'd go car 2 but offer them less with ti's modded as a reason and see how bad they want to sell. FYI all 03 vettes were 50th anniversary and should have the badging, some regular coupes were a maroon color with the magnesium looking wheels.

 

[Millenium Z06]

Also, price isnt bad for car #1 either

 

[tony3331]

car #2 mti is local for you. i would try to get him down a bit with just 6k miles on it chances are the h/c was just done call mti and get some info. :jammin:

 

[uthustler]

thanks guys for the input.

Car #1 is at a dealership 200 miles from me, and car #2 is 20 miles from me. Car #2's owner isnt "really" pressed to sell it, or as motivated as the salesman at the dealership with car #1.

What should I offer for car #2 do you think?

 

[IT L GO]

Car #2 offer 37G's settle on 38G's. To me it sounds like a good buy at 38.5 :cheers:

 

[uthustler]

do those HP numbers for car #2 sound about right for an MTI package?

 

[Vette01]

I'd go with car #1. One of the best tuners around no doubt but I wouldn't buy a modded car. The price on the '03 doesn't seem that bad if it's really clean. Either way, you're getting one hell of a car :z:

 

[z06-2nv]

Car 2

 

[case2307]

do those HP numbers for car #2 sound about right for an MTI package?

No...That is not a MTI H/C package. They didn't build it. I suspected as much and called them. They build reliable...not radical. They may have tuned the car but, that's about it. :guiness:

Car #2 sounds good if you aren't worried about the engine warranty. Worst case scenario if it blows up you will have to replace for around 8k installed. Most people don't blow up they're motors but there are people who have with this much horsepower. You will also need a new high performance clutch sooner than later for that much power.

I guess in the end it comes down to how much money you are willing to tie up in the car if needed.
