Would anybody say this is a strip only car or could I drive it on the street every once in a while if I decided to buy it? Also, does it seem a little too good to be true?

Looking at the pics that Camaro SS looks beautiful but,I would
be very skeptical about that car.That car has probably been to
the track alot and probably driven hard looking at the mods on
that car.If you decide to look at this car definitley put the car
on a lift to check the frame for damage and the whole under body.
In my experience aspecially on mustangs I have seen alot of
failures from the Spec Stage 3 clutches like Spec clutch disc failure etc.
If you are intrusted in that car test drive it and see how it drives
and if you like it or not.

thats more of a street strip set up. its got a posi so thats will make it comfy to street drive but at the track will lose some traction on the hole shot compared to a spool or locker. Its got 4.30 gears, thats pretty steep, 6th will be more like a ratio inbetween 4th and 5th with a 26in tall tire. honestly I think its to much gear especially if its gonna see the track, if it does Id recommend a 28in tall tire so you wont be shifting into 5th before the trap. Says its been converted to a 4 link, $$ involved to do such a conversion. Im not sure what the inspection laws are where your located so make sure the check engine light and OBD system is still functional since it says the ECM has been programed to bypass sensors. What sensors? all? just rear 02? is it speed density tune so no MAF? 8800 seems a bit low for what is done, 105 lbs injectors seem WAY overkill, Im running 42lb injectors on my 402 and dyno'd the same as what he's advertising, swapping to a smaller injector might help with mileage and throttle response as the injection plum would be more atomized. Im not saying its a bad car, just make sure you know what your getting
