Finally an update. After being on the hunt and many cars eluding my grasp, I finally landed a car. The one I originally posted in this thread had some tuning issues and the dealer took it to a local shop for work. Well, a week later I go looking for an update and the car vanished. 😰 So, the hunt continued and there was one fairly local that the guy told me "just needed some love". There was a blemish on the title for fire damage, but the title was technically clean (not branded, rebuilt, etc). I went to look at it and it already had a great start on the mods, cam, headers, injectors, etc. I asked if he knew about the fire damage, which he did. There was a fire in the engine bay, where the #8 injector was blowing the o-rings and fuel leaking on the headers. Ad from months before said it had 1350 injectors in it, but he told me they were 1050s AND there was still a fuel leak with the #8 injector. He claimed the stock fuel rail was the issue and a new rail and tune was the "love" that she needed. Too risky of a proposition, so I walked away from that one too.

I finally landed one in the Chicago land area that was originally spent her life in Texas, so not dealing with a rotting chassis from salted roads. I am now the proud owner of a 2012 Diamond Black Sedan, sadly an auto though ( I miss my GTO). Here is the first dirty picture I took of her, but plan to clean her up this weekend. Only mods are this neglected V Sleeper CF hood and an intake. So much potential though.
