FS: Turbo & Nitrous 1997 Camaro
 

I’m selling my turbo & nitrous fed 1997 RS Camaro. I’ve owned it since 2005 and recently bought a ZL1 so it needs to go. It’s been garaged kept the past 11 years. It has 100k miles on it and runs great. Everything works…cold A/C, heat, cruise control, power seats/mirrors/windows (brand new motors), keyless entry etc. Very quick daily driver and/or weekend track car.

It’s a turbo’d 3.8L Series II V6 with 2 kits of nitrous. It put down 333 rwhp/392 TQ with boost + 50 shot of nitrous on a Dynojet dyno. It has more in it, but I don’t have the time or energy to keep going with it. Full mod list below.

This has been my baby for a long time and I’ve taken very good care of it. Clean title in hand. The car is located in Valdosta, GA and I am willing to drive a reasonable distance to meet a serious buyer.

$5,500

Feel free to call or text (4O2) 297-zero 4 three 5.

I've never understood statements like this. You've had the car for 11 years in the garage. I'm sure you've had the time. :pound:

Nonetheless not my cup of tea but for what it is it's bad ass and seems like a very, very fair price :clap:

GLWS :thumb:

Meh, not really. I'm active duty military and married with 3 kids. I've moved 9 times in the past 12 years. So when I'm not deployed, in training for an upgrade, working on a master's degree, or busy moving again I'm spending time with family instead of wrenching on a car. That's why I bought a ZL1...turn key, go fast with all the amenities (leather, nav, b/u camera, M6, mag ride suspension etc.). I need minimal maintenance in my life haha. I did most of the work to the car before I was married with kids.

I appreciate the candid feedback though. I know I'll never recoup even a fraction of what I put into it and that's ok. I just need some cash to put down on the payment of the Z and make some room in my garage :)

Sunday bump day.

Tell me a few things.....

Are all of those current pics? I ask because I see the dyno sheet was from 2007. Also is there 100k miles on the engine and is it a stock bottom end? What is the mileage and year of the tires (in other words are they about to need be replaced).


Finally, what mileage did you install the "mods"?

All fair questions and thanks for the inquiry.

Yes, the pics are current. I took them in my driveway the day before I posted the thread.

I started modding the car in 2006 and finished it at the end of 2007 (hence the dyno sheet from then). I started pilot training for the Air Force in 2008 so I basically put the car away for the most part and got a truck for a DD. I drove it on the weekends occasionally though.

Yes, stock bottom end of the motor.

The front tires are pretty worn and probably need replaced. The rears have plenty of tread of but they are showing their age from over the years. I put them on in 2009 I believe. If that's deal breaker I am negotiable on the price to replace them.

I started modding the car when it had roughly 80k miles on it. A majority of the miles since then have been highway miles moving all over the country for military moves.

I updated the thread to reflect the tire wear.

Thanks for the reply. I'm still just tire kicking but it caught my eye and would make a neat ride for me when it's not nice outside and I don't want to drive the HC.

Headed to Florida in about 8 weeks. If not sold I'll swing by and check it out.

Right on. Just let me know when you'll be rolling through :thumb:

I'll be out of town during labor day weekend, but other than that I'll be around.

Price lowered.

Bump.

TTT

Sold!

Thanks for the inquiries, fellas.
