1999 Chevy Camaro Z28 - American Iron Car potentially for sale

[MikeP99Z]

After 20 years of racing - I'm tired, feel beat up, and I'm just plain not motivated these days to wrench on it or any other car.

Minor damage from Atlanta including tie rod/spindle/wheel/alignment being repaired/replaced at the moment. Ball joints also being replaced. Car has a few rub marks on it and a slightly dinged hood. Windshield just got cracked from a rock, but I'll replace it after TWS for the buyer.

Motor has 1.5 seasons on it (HKE-built 363whp/368wtq detuned for running 9.25:1 with factory ABS). Trans just has Atlanta on it and has the 0.80 5th gear. Rearend ring/pinion has just Atlanta on it.

I'm essentially gauging interest in the sale, and am not completely set in parting ways with it, but I'm considering the sale of the car before I embark on completely redoing the front end for more aero / less weight and reengineering an 8.8 to replace the 10-bolt. I'm in no rush, it can sit in the garage.

The car would be available after TWS. Transponder and Texas Thunder group #8 not included. PM for details if you are serious. $35k - $39k depending on what you want regarding spares. Higher offers always considered =)

Damn, you and James plotting to take over the world? Sorry to hear this.

Did Mitch hack your account?!

Why don't you uncork that sucker and come play in ST?! Misty is getting a new monster motor and mine is running right finally!

As for the rear end....I too will be looking for something soon. Misty's car will be making about 530 to the tire so the 10 bolt is likely going to give up the ghost in short order but I am going to try and make it live for now. We don't do standing starts so much less stress.

Or sell the AI car and buy a CMC car and come race with us for way less money.

You'd keep up just fine. I'd likely be chasing you. Kagan has the same setup in his Mustang (SN99 with a Coyote) and it is fast.

I'm also tired of the RR tire bill...

You need guns.


Blowin' shit up ... on purpose ... is way more fun than by accident.

Last fall, a bunch of us blew up a Mustang with 20lbs of tannerite.

Mitch, why so many AR's...? Are you a prep'r?

Not a prep'er, just an enjoyer.
There are two of us that use ... Deb is a better shot than I am.

So there are:

two 22LRs
three 556s (because they are stupid cheap right now)
one 5.7x28 (because a 22 caliber round that will penetrate kevlar is just cool)
one 300BLK (pigs)
two 308s (deer)

All have suppressors.

An SBR is waiting on the tax stamp, a dozen or so 1911s and as many polymer and wheel guns and enough ammo that I could have paid off my mortgage had I sold out at the peak of the panic.

And all for the price of a single CMC race car.

Different strokes for different folks.

Shooting is really fun but for me and just me it does not compare to racing.

Now I have been deep into a lot of different things. I was into golf for awhile where that is all I thought about, also flying small airplanes (general aviation and RC) so I understand about changing hobbies.
