"


Reading the ad, it seems this car with 12-1 compression, dual 650's, 4 speed, and 3.73 gears just wouldn't have very good street manners. The LS7 is the small block isn't it? So, is this an OEM small block punched out and stroked, or an aftermarket block?

I'm with Nick on this one, a little high with the anomalies listed. Unless of course, all you really want is a garage queen and you aren't concerned about originality, drivability, high octane fuel sources, resale,.......
