I've toyed with the idea of selling mine for quite some time. It's an awesome car... I just don't find the time to drive it as much as I'd like, and/or should. Mine is an older chassis, and therefore probably not what you're looking for. The DART-blocked aluminum 427W is a great engine with gobs of power. It will idle around 800 rpm around town... not bad for an engine with a snotty cam & 615 hp/tq. I had it dyno-tuned a few years ago, & haven't had to touch it since. It's probably a bit much, if one wants a "cruiser"... it WILL slog around town... but it's not terribly happy doing so. It's an easy car to drive, but stop & go traffic will give your left leg a workout... and the solid engine mounts transmit more vibration to the chassis- most noticeable at idle & around town. It comes into its own on the freeway at around 2800-3000 rpm... heaven! I see this post has been up for a while, but good luck with your search!
