So you were always saying you were to broke to finish the turbo build, or buy this or that, now you're talking about getting a z06?

He paid for the turbo set up himself so being spoiled will have to have the notion that his parents paid for it smart ass.

Well you will be the second turbo grand am to go Corvette after having the turbo for a 6 month period. Also having the corvette will require you to own a beater since the corvette is not a good "winter" car.

I'm paying for the vette, they are cosigning.(doubt i need cosigner my credit score is 820) I have a beater my dad and I got for 100 bucks off my aunt... 89 cavalier... it runs nothings wrong with it... vettes are going for cheap around here so I may get one... and Yes I paid for the turbo.. not my parents

IanGT99 · 12-05-2008, 10:29 AM

Yeah, you guys have a lot of balls calling Derek spoiled.... or anyone for that matter. You don't know his situation. My college roommate's parents were multi-millionaires and made him pay for everything on his own. You should probably think before you speak.

Corvettes aren't necessarily cheap in PA, but you can pick up an '03 or '04 with 50k miles for about $22-25,000. A Z06 is a different story.

Derek, your GA is worth more than $3000 on its own not including the turbo. If you don't get at least $5000 out of it, I'd seriously consider keeping it to use as a project. If not, you may have to cut your losses. You're right when you say the market is not strong for modded GA's.

New STI's are pretty sick too :]

GA2000GTSpeed · 12-07-2008, 01:47 PM

well if your complaning about gas milage right now just wait for that just ok mpg's from the zo6 with the nice insurance youl have to pay... youl prolly end up around the same cost wise...

zukiracer19 · 12-07-2008, 05:07 PM

Got some interest on the turbo setup for 2K... will let everyone know what happens.

zukiracer19 · 12-20-2008, 02:43 PM

OK. This is the official news.

I thought about it, I'm going for a loan here this spring for a new car...

I'm taking the GA Back to STOCK(keeping) until than...

I'm signing the car over to my father for him to have, since he always put me first in his life(bought me so many toys) ex 2006 ltr450, 2004 z250 for those of you who ride atvs you know what i mean... etc...

I AM SELLING THE TURBO for 2,500$ + shipping costs. comes with everything, just bolt on and play!

GRABER75 · 12-20-2008, 03:17 PM

would you sell you triple pillar pod seperate? if so let me know. I have PayPal..and by the way I get 32mpg with my 2004 Corvette and I hear the Z06 is not to far off..I am 28 and I pay $98.00 buck a month for full coverage..Corvettes are over rated, but are nice to drive!

zukiracer19 · 12-20-2008, 03:33 PM

I would but i'd rather get rid of it with the kit sorry.

GRABER75 · 12-21-2008, 07:27 PM

thanks for the reply Derek..if you change your mind about the pillar and gauges hit me up.And if you need any advise on buying a Corvette keep in in mind... my family are Corvette freaks I have been around them all my life and I am on my 4th Vette I know alot of ins and outs with these cars.

CantBeatIt96 · 12-21-2008, 08:17 PM

that sucks to demod the GA for a corvette, i mean yes there bad ass, but how much worse does it feel to be beaten at a race by a GA then a corvette.

the new STI's sorry ive been the largest fan of STI, all my friends know how bad i want one, but these new ones SUCK, there ugly as hell, took that bad ass car and turned it POS. i liked the 2007s and i luved the 2005s the 2003s were okay, but not a huge fan of the headlights. now the new hack-back style looks gay as hell. im goin to get the new 2009 imprezza WRX and then converting it to an STI, well just giving it turbo and better control.

but with the GA that really stinks, i luv seeing GAs all fixed up and completely untouchable.

. well not untouchable but you get the picture.

. well good luck on the selling and the new car.
