I Am A Homeless Man

[GroverDill]

you are missing what was important to me
Factory forced induction and a MANUAL transmission

it was the ZL1 or the CT4/CT5 blackwing, wanted the CT5 but it was outside my budget, and while the CT4 is awesome it is built on the same Alpha chassis as the Camaro but heavier and less power

Are you talking about a corvette or a cadillac? I saw a picture of the corvette. When did we start talking about cadillacs?

 

[GroverDill]

I was talking about cars the fit my criteria. forced induction and a manual transmission it is really simple.

C8 no manual, no forced induction
C7 Z06 at least 3 years old and still more expensive than this ZL1 and manuals were near impossible to find.
Mustang no forced induction, but manual
GT500 no manual and out of budget
Ct5 Blackwing awesome but out of my budget and way out of budget with crazy dealer mark ups
CT4 Balckwing very cool, built on similar "Alpha" chassis as camaro but 474 hp vs 650 but it would have been damn close to my budget.

So with my self imposed budget of 80k and the terrible time I was buying my options were very limited.

You have a problem, Joe

No way I would buy anything claiming to be an alpha chasis

That's a sweet ride! You going to leave it stock or mess with it?

"chassis" has 3 esses

it should be as fast as the blown C7 it replaces, so I am planning on keeping it stock for a while at least. It was hard to toss the B2B warranty on the C7 and since this thing is new it has the full 3 years.

So I hope to keep it stock. nothing requiring a tune to void the warranty.

I'm basic, can we remove any labelin please

I'm basic, please remove labels I didn't set. Only said something because people were 3-peating it desperately. Yes it is a form of bullying and follows you around on every post. Do you think I ultimately care? not one bit. But to edit someone else's profile is just... creepy.

A form of bullying? Geez man, bullying? Really?

 

[FastDriver]

This is not very alpha of you

 

[mustystang]

master class

 

[GroverDill]

Not bad for a Alpha chassis POS GM

 

[bird_dog0347]

That looks like a BAD MO-FO

Holy moly $550,000? Didn't realize Idaho was so expensive. Where at in Northern IN? I'm in Lafayette.

My folks are in Chesterton area ( porter to be exact) , Thay have gifted me 5 acres of the 20 they have. If the numbers make sense I may build there but I am concerned on pricing of extending services out there. ( well, electric, septic and I would hope gas)

 

[Noobz347]

Gas is usually fairly simple. Whatever company you buy propane from generally installs and maintains the tank.
