I gotta disagree. It's not hard to get a car in the 9's and it doesn't have to be expensive. LS swapped fox body with a good size kit will run nines all day. For cheap. Now having a nice, streetable, reliable car with creature comforts run in the nines or better? That's a different animal and does indeed take money. What's impressive to me is the fact that those are factory numbers, with a warranty.
Can’t keep em all.
That is pretty much my dream setup (minus about 400 acres), I think most of us would love something like that and the means to stock it.
Call, what's the worst they can say?
The guy I got my Ducati 999 from lived on his ranch outside of Dillon MT. It too was huge and had a lot more trees than I saw in Texas.
I guess thats what I was going after. To have something streetable capable of 9s is definitely not cheap. I daily drove mine and to be honest it was an absolute monster. 25+MPG on 8psi with a nice blower cam. Yes, I babied her but she was VERY capable. Definitely like that you chose a fox as the hypothetical budget build, to be honest I would to. LS motors are my thing but even the new 5.0 Cayote motor is so damn capable. I feel like a cayote motor on boost or a big shot in a gutted fox (notch preferably) would be a monster!
That area where you took the photo was absolutely beautiful! I love it up there. Funny, I sold my last C6 for the same reason, good offer. I love the C6 platform and to be honest with you I was in the market for a C7 but could not pull the trigger, maybe one day. The C6 was an animal and had a raw feeling of a true sports car. The C7 was SO refined I didn't feel the speed at all. Great for some, trouble for others LOL.It has been. Has 101,000 on it now and I’ve replaced the original alternator and serpentine belts, put in another battery and in another 5,000 miles or so I’ll replace the front rotors. The seat belt/air bag switch needed replacing as did the drivers seat lumbar actuator. Not bad for that many miles and being 12 years old. 2006 was a good year for me. My Busa is an 06 and so was my Vette. Kept the Vette for a few months after but eventually took an offer I couldn’t refuse.
Not a Vette fan really, but that is definitely a monster!
Very true LOL My buddy pulled the 6.0 out of an 02 escalade ( I think thats an lq9 motor...) on a big shot was 10s in his fox. God I love those motors.
