$19,700, going to pick it up in a few hours. Won't be back till late tonight. It's got a JLT CAI, UPR offroad X-pipe, Mac 3" catback, MGW shifter, stock pulley. I'm gonna do a Stiegemeier stage IV ported blower for now. :)

The car is nasty due to all the pollen and I haven't had a chance to clean it up since I did a 7-8 hour round trip yesterday to go get it.

I lowered it today and put 1" spacers on the rear till I find some real rims. I ordered a Stiegmeier Stage IV ported blower/plenum/tb today too.

You can sorta see the 3" catback in this pic. The car sounds NASTY

Very nice! Where did you order the spacers from? I want to put a set on the '01 so that the rear wheels don't look like they are hiding.

Yes I cut the stock springs 1 coil all the way around and kept the stock isolators. Here's the rims I just ordered a few days ago.

Very nice, you dont waste any time on mods do you lol. Those wheels will look great and the ported/pullies will be awesome. I just hope you dont regret not buying a C5, I know guys that got the itch and went with something else and eventually regretted it, and lost a ton of $$$ when they sold there rides to go buy what the really wanted. Good luck.

Oh, and get this crap. Yesterday I sold my Ram diesel truck to a guy. The truck has always ran flawlessly and this guy get 60 miles away and the injection pump fails. I had the truck towed back to my shop and gave him his money back till I can get it fixed. It's gonna cost me about $1500ish to fix. :(

I commend you on this action, not many people who back up their vehicle sales out there anymore. People like you make it a bit easier for me to plan to buy used!!:beer: :beer:

just out of curiosity....how does the 03 compare to your 99 with the D1SC. Other than being an obvious newer car.....how is the overall performance compared to the terminator. The reason why I'm asking is ... I'm currently debating to either boost up and possibly build the motor on my new edge or avoid the headache and just go out and buy the dam terminator. I currently have the funds to go either directions. Just wanted your opinion as you already had a built new edge and currently own a nice blk terminator.
