2010 Crystal Red SS, LDK 315whp 340wtq

2010 Crystal Red SS, G85 option, nearing 39,000 miles. Asking $14,799 OBO. Title is with the bank.

Name: Matt
Location: Davenport, IA
Contact: PM please

I've got a baby on the way and as much as it pains me, I'm going to need to get a nice midsize sedan or SUV. This isn't my daily driver and mostly sits in my garage only to be driven if it's sunny. Seriously, it has never seen rain under my care. It's been driven less than 10k miles in 20 months and half of those are cruising to Chicago on the interstate. Rarely sees WOT, and only above 3k RPMs if so. Matched down shifts, tire pressure always dead on, etc. I am extremely picky.

As you can see, it's in great condition. It is never dirty and gets waxed with every wash which is about once every 4-5 weeks. It's got your average road chips on the bumper and hood, probably less than most used cars with this mileage. But who cares when you're blowing the doors off an EVO, WRX, or Camaro SS at a fraction of the price. Mods are:

LDK crate engine with turbo assembly approximately 9,000 miles
GMPP clutch
Modified Bad Mab downpipe - proper clearance for rear O2
ZZP "short" intercooler with upper and lower charge pipes
K&N intake
3 bar map sensors
Powell rotated mounts
SSC lowering springs
18" Enkei VR5 wheels

Once the engine was seasoned and new clutch/flywheel well broken in at 1800 miles, it was dyno tuned at Performance Autowerks. It put down 315whp and 340wtq on a very safe 91 octane tune. Dyno sheet is posted in the dyno section. It's an absolute blast to drive. I wouldn't even consider selling this car to ANYONE but I really can't be dealing with a newborn in a car this size. Especially after 2 back surgeries. Open to reasonable offers, but I'll keep it and cram a car seat in there before I let it go cheap.

Oh yes the engine....search my name for the full threads. Auto Showcase in Carol Stream, IL sold this to me with an E85 tune and didn't tell me. I blew it up in less than a week and they told me it was my problem. Nothing looked to have been abused when we had everything apart. Clutch was still decent, flywheel didn't look cooked. The trans has always felt rock solid and I've not once had a grind.

PM is preferred! I'm not on here much and the PM will trigger an email for me.

Ha! You guys really went to town on that one. If we want to get really technical it is Crystal Red Metallic Tintcoat. A base/primer is applied, in my case white, followed by the red metallic. It is finished with a clear coat that is mixed to a red hue. It's due for a re-wash and wax in most of these pics and is slightly dusty. At dusk it has an amazing gloss that rivals even a polished black.

Thank you for the compliments. It's a shame i have to sell it. I do hope the next owner will show it as much love as I do.

Almost forgot about this. Here she is on the dyno at Performance Autowerks!

3 years and 2 months, 60,000 miles left Route 66 warranty can be included in the sale.

Recently diagnosed high pressure AC line leak. Figures since I'm trying to sell it...Warranty does not cover the pressure lines. This is about a $500 fix at your local shop. Open to offers.

One month until the car seat goes in the back!
