lol you guys love taking things out of context here I see. Look, some of you live close enough to come see the truck for yourselves. You should do that instead of formulating an opinion from behind a computer screen. If you have a tuner that you prefer using then use them. Hell I'd probably be willing to adjust my price to allow you to do so. I doubt anyone here is seriously interested though as is the case with most forums.

That couldn't be further from the truth, there are 2 people on this forum that in the last couple months have sold their heavily modified trucks on forums, there also have been quite a few trucks that have been bought outright or traded on this specific forum.

There are people on this forum that are looking for a truck currently aswell.

As a matter of fact, there are very few trucks on this site that were not bought off of a forum.

The reason this thread went off is because you mentioned a name that has "broken it off" in many of us. And most of us have spent unnecessary time and $$ trying to fix the problems that he caused. We are the local's, we know the trucks around here, and we know the shops around here.

as I've said....one shoe does not fit every foot. Rick has been building my cobra from the ground up and has done an amazing job so far with it and many other cars I've personally known. I could slander some VERY reputable tuners but I understand that my bad experience (blowing up a brand new forged motor) does not necessarily mean a bad one for someone else. That's foolish. If someone were really interested they would formulate their own opinion, not one based of someone else's issues. Anyways this thread is useless now so I'm fine with using my other resources to sell or trade.

lol nah it's all good man. I don't get bent out of shape over forums. I've got plenty of interest in the truck. I'll be fine

DolSVT00 · 10-05-2010, 12:12 PM

You should have told us that was proaudio (Jason's) truck, we know that truck. It went 10.90 on the 2.3 that used to be on there.

Mike, we've looked at that truck before, that's the guy that ended up getting your stock exhaust out of the trash can when we cut it off at the track that day. To my knowledge it wasn't tuned by Amazon when he had it, and if memory serves me right the motor was pretty sound and the truck was really clean.

He said on the other forum he'll take 16.5 for it............................................

If I would have known you knew him I might have made the mention lol. It was tuned by injected engineering according to receipts. Again, at $16,500 I'm allowing plenty for you to have whoever you want tune the truck to your liking. As I said though if it doesn't sell outright at that price I've already got a trade in place for Saturday.

jmd · 10-05-2010, 01:45 PM

16,500 is a good price. someone needs to buy this truck. bwelch?

BTW it wasn't just one of us that had bad experiences, that's the sad part of this. It was MOST of us, including me.

Jason is a good guy and put a lot of time, effort and $$$ in that truck.

The KenneBell Units themselves are very reliable, if installed and cared for properly.

Definately has a lot of good stuff on it. I would buy it if I were in the market (or had any money at all) only because I know what it would cost to put something like that together and this saves you a bunch of time and money.

Cobra332 · 10-06-2010, 03:42 PM

WhatsNext.. Would it be ok if i were to drive out your and possibly take the truck to a mechanic to look her over ? I have family out your side of town and know a few shops
