Ha I essentially did something similar, although if I were them I'd probably hold out until someone wanted to pony up the extra $1500 we're fighting over.

 

So yeah... the engine is ticking.  After looking at the whole top end, everything looks fine.  Installed a set of ls7 lifters, tick is still there.

I'm dropping the price to 9k, which should easily cover the price of a new shortblock (worst case scenario) if anyone is interested. 

Agreed.. Price is worth it for a well sorted FC such as this. Sad to see this one go, but GLWS.

Thanks man, I'm just as happy to keep it if there's no interest.  I've just wanted to put together a C5 Z for years, and I'm currently in a position to do so. 

  Here's to hopefully nobody wanting the FC so I can stick around here and ask you more questions about your setup.

I'm in for either a blank or a cut panel.  Just let us know what our options are.

I'd be interested in getting a panel cut if we can get the  price down a bit.

Honestly I really enjoy just doing open track days with my car.

Sure they're "strictly non-competitive" but you can bet that when you're out there turning laps with a fast group of cars it sure does feel like it. 

Plus, on average they run about $200 a day compared to $2000, and for that you'll get 10x more track time than you would at a drift event. 

Not to mention there's no rulebook saying what you can and cannot do to your car.
