If you are going to buy a V8 and and a M6 you should buy one that already has a M6. The only time it is worth converting is when you already own the car and have thousands invested in other mods. At that point, you are already in deep enough you might as well convert it. On a new purchase, no way IMO.Tracy

buying an auto for like 8k. Then spending money on the conversion... Lets see... Tranny, couple thousand, clutch set, about 800, pedal, hydraulics, cutting through firewall, cylinders, etc... That 8K car cost around 11 or 12 and a ton of downtime. Why not just buy the M6 to begin with?

Honestly, at the point you're at now, willing to buy a car, especially as expensive as kens, then drop an M6 in it, you might as well search nationwide and pay to have your perfect car shipped to you. Ebay will have something for sure. It's all about what you want to spend. You wanna spend an extra 3 or 400 to get it shipped do it. My gf got her integra shipped from florida to mi for $500. Give that a shot. Save some $ and expand your search.97 Chevy 'Raro Z28 M6- Ported & Polished LT1 heads,beehives,1.6/1.94 valves, 226/231 custom cam,K&N FIPK, 94-95 BBK shorty's,ORY,Magnaflow Catback,no cats,BMR LCA Relocation Brackets,Lower Control Arms,Adjustable Panhard Bar,Eibach Pro Kit,SPEC Stage 1,Walbro 255 Fuel Pump,30LB Injectors,Pro 5.0,Short stick,MSD 8.5's,NGK TR55's,LT4KM

I've thought about that it's just the idea of buying a car without seeing it myself and driving it scares the crap out of me I've found the perfect car, in my opinion, right here at home.

only problem is the freeking dealer won't budge on his price 15,000 which in my opinion is to much. I've already tried the blue book value argument and everything he just won't budge And the car is not "just in" he's had it sitting on his lot for over a month now arrrrrrghhhhhhhBeau

Look around a little. What have you go to lose? Research a few cars really well. Check Ebay and Autotrader once every few days. You will eventually find a car that is so perfect and priced so reasonably you will end up buying it. Just do yourself a favor and at least open your eyes far enough to look around a little.Tracy
