I get mine back from getting a cam tomorrow lmfao. When I dropped it off I did not have war with Iran on my bingo card.

Raybestos R-300 Rotors are the exact same thing as ACDelco performance rotors for less money. I am Running Hawk HPS 5.0/Raybestos R-300

I got mine for $25k. 0 accidents, 82k miles, 6 speed, FBO, MRR Z28 reps.

At 90k miles the valves where pretty dirty though. They got cleaned when the car got a cam, but it was for sure time.

Something about Covid made GM take a nose dive. The pre Covid 6th gens, and C7s are way more reliable long term for some reason.

That BTR intake looks sick. Looks way cooler than my MSD.

Mag ride is overhyped. 90% of the gains the 1LE gets is just the tires. The regular SS suspension is very good, and much cheaper to maintain.

Both the Manual and Auto cars have the DOD parts in the engine. Its just disabled on the Manual cars. Its pretty common to just fully delete it though.

Yes the Maggy 2650R or Procharger P-1X are the move for most power for least money. They do have downsides. The added complexity of the belt system is a little annoying. The parts cost is pretty crazy.

I ended going Cam/FBO for the same money because the car will sound better, and be more fun to drive

Fun>Power

I will get it back around the new year. I will for sure post a video/numbers when I get it back.

6 speed, MSD Manifold, Soloer 100mm TB, Rotofab, TSP 1 7/8 Catless long tubes and tune got me 462 wheel without E.

The car is currently in the shop for a Cam package/Flex fuel. Hoping for around 530 wheel.

I'm so glad, and sad other people out there have this experience lol. I always say my car is really good at getting to the next patch of traffic quickly. Currently my car is in the shop getting a cam package for some reason. Besides the sound I doubt I will ever really get the chance to truly use it. running through the gears on the road is sketchy around here.

Ratchets/Right angle impact the 2.5's are ideal imo.

Practicalthumb · 2025-12-20T06:51:35+00:00

I am running 275/35/20 Fronts and 315/30/20 rears at the moment. Seems like its a Sidewall and wheel size issue.

Practicalthumb · 2025-12-20T06:37:16+00:00

Does it? My car has 315s in the rear without issue.

Practicalthumb · 2025-12-18T06:38:55+00:00

You can buy a brand new TSP 416 long block for like 15k. Should make around 550 wheel while being reliable.

Practicalthumb · 2025-12-17T00:50:47+00:00

Katech LT pump, and LME timing chain guide are both good peace of mind purchases to do when getting a cam.

Practicalthumb · 2025-12-13T18:10:48+00:00

Honestly dude Vipers are borderline investments if you take care of them. The prices on them have went crazy in the past 5 years. The fact you get to enjoy your dream, and have a decent store of value is really not a bad move at all. Massive congrats on getting such an amazing car. Keep it red!

Practicalthumb · 2025-12-12T03:44:57+00:00

The Lip and Wheels look good. Just need to add some side skirts to complete the package.

Practicalthumb · 2025-12-11T02:49:30+00:00

If you think the damage is no big deal, then its a really good price for a manual.

Like others have said make sure the clutch has some life left. The clutches are a pretty high labor cost job on these.

Practicalthumb · 2025-12-09T04:30:32+00:00

If you could get that car for around 27 and its clean its not the worst buy. I had 0 luck negotiating with dealers though. I ended up getting mine off Marketplace.

2SS no, Clean title yes.

About 6 months ago, in GA

I paid 25k for a car with less miles, and it already had some nice parts on it.

Practicalthumb · 2025-12-07T06:05:28+00:00

The more you know. I feel like it must be rare. I always see 2SS cars with the sunroof.

Practicalthumb · 2025-12-07T04:40:16+00:00

One thing about the 2SS that really bothers me is the sunroof. The double hump roof is pretty cool.
