Thanks for the heads up. I have a good friend that is a bit of a Vette nut (he's owned several over the years) and I'll be talking to him about the car and hope to take him along for an inspection. He's out of town for the weekend, so I'll be looking on the Web for more info until I can talk with him.

I don't plan on doing any significant mods. All I've done to the Z is add some sound damping material in the hatch area and had some small exhaust dumps (flanged tee with orifice and downturn; my version of the "washer mod" heehee) installed. And pulled the ESCL fuse.

The Vette owner is negotiating with my car guy (he wants it on his lot even if I don't take it) and the price hasn't been firmed up. He did a Q&D search and estimates that he can get the Vette for $23-28k. Possibly less since there is a "minor problem" (I didn't ask for details) with the CD player. I can get the Vette (or any other car) for a flat $500 over what he pays. If he can hit the low end and the car is in as good of shape as described, I may be willing to bust my $19-20k budget. But everything is on hold for a week while he is out of country.


Thanks again to all who have made suggestions/tips. Y'all have been a BIG help. Virtual beers for everybody!
