7.7's in the 1/8 are low 12's in the 1/4. 7.60@92 is very close to the 11's, but probably a 12.0.

It sound like a nice car. 87K miles isn't really a lot, but lower mile cars have sold for less. I paid $13.5 for my 24K mile '86 GN a few years ago.

That soulds like "national's" car. He has done a lot of work on it and the parts he put on it aren't cheap. As it sits it should be cabable of mid 11's@115+ if not faster with tuning.

Hope this helps,

could some one give me some insight

could someone else give me their insight on this car? wolf

sounds like a pretty nice car. If the car is as clean as he says, and the car is as fast as he claims, I would say it is probably a fair price. Not to say you shouldn't try and haggle a little bit.

I would pass at that price. IMHO, I'd rather have a lower mileage car closer to stock. Got my car completely stock (cept for tires, battery and powermaster recall) for 12k and it had 39k. miles.

I would try to haggle closer to 10-11k.

Good luck.
