Im saying why did you go with 1LE toe links. I saw you traded the BMR ones for 1LE ones. Just curious as to why you did that since the 1LEs are a thin stamped metal joke. I recently swapped mine with Pfadt toe links.

There's a white ZL1 M6 2013 with less than 5000miles at a local dealership, you best believe I'm taking that girl for at very least a test drive.

Price is $40,000. Downside is it has the 5 spoke wheels instead of the 10. Black stripe over the roof as well.

If they come down on the price, it's a great deal. You can always remove the stripe and upgrade the rims later. The warranty (in years) is about up probably. So for a little more $$ and warranty, you could get a pretty sweet deal on a 2016 1SS/RS or 2SS.

If they drop into the 36-37 range, it would be extremely tempting offer.

Wanted to stick with factory stuff mostly just for peace of mind. I know the BMR parts would've worked but felt a little better installing factory components.

Definitely agree though on the links being a bit flimsy, but I'd rather bend the toe link instead of bending the mount on the subframe in the event of an accident or if I happen to smack the wheel on a curb.

I wouldn't know what the stock parts look like anymore or where they go. It's been that long.

I test drove that ZL1 yesterday, wouldn't budge off their price of $40K. When I got there the sales guy told me it was $60K we argued about it for a good 5 minutes until he looked it up and realized I was right. Then he used some BS tactic of telling me if I didn't buy it one of his salespersons were buying it at close of business. The car is still sitting right where I left it when I drove by this morning.

The salesman I had was a total douche.

When you trade speedy in, let me know! I would really consider taking that blower off your hands, especially if it won't effect your trade in value.

When I sell Speedy, it will be as-is. Not taking any parts off. I'm not working that hard. It will go up for sale very soon, $30k for it, and it's a steal for sure for what I have in it.

I've got about 50cents and some pocket lint.
