Nice ! Haha. I just wish I lived closer to these people selling their Balts having problems selling and such. I'd buy some of these in a heartbeat if I didn't have to fly to them 😅😑

Try and find the newest one with the least miles you can afford, that's been taken care of. Lsj pluses- better trans due to gearing, more fueling choices with injectors, supercharger whine, easy to turbo if that's what you want. Minuses- harder to make power without going to a bigger supercharger or turbo, smaller axles.
Lnf pluses- already has turbo, more modern seats, radio, little better handing suspension and brakes, bigger axels, quicker to get to 325hp, better gas mileage if you stay out of the throttle. Minuses- weaker trans due to gearing, porous block issues in a few, less fueling choices with injectors, if you want to run drag slicks you may have to swap brakes to get a good sidewall slick.

06 gt with catless exhaust. Borla stingers. A huge k&n intake. And a tune. But he did it himself. So who knows how well it was really done. Lol. It's a beautiful car. And very quick. He said its pushing probably 325 to the wheels.

Haha. Glad to here that. Cuz he thinks he's going to give whatever SS I get a workout. I told him to have fun working on his rotary engine. 😂 which neither of us have a clue about.
