Tire pressure sensors changed July 2012 under CPO. Instrument gauges (entire cluster) changed June2013 (for a fault code the mechanic couldn’t figure out), and gas tank drained under CPO. 20,000 and 30,000 mile service performed on time, as well as usual oilchange intervals. Noaccidents, never tracked. It goes withoutsaying, garaged. Never driven in rain orsnow while I have had it. No dings, or scratches.

Zero mechanical issues. Everything works. No Mustang Dynoin Bakersfield, so no "hard" HP figures, but runs on par withother 700 HP rated cars at last NOFLY ZONE rolling half mile event (I have done 4 events). Pullshard and very fast.



Selling because wife claims I don’t need three cars. Imagine that. But getting ready for retirement, I don’t needthe extra expense (trying to be realistic).

I have clear title on all my cars…..not an issue for thesale.

 

Sounds like it's time for a divorce.

What were your trap speeds at NFZ? Such a beautiful color, too!

 

Best trap was 166.66MPH running MS109. The current tune was done by Todd Knighton off data logs running 91 Octane, so I suppose there is some more juice to be squeezed from this blueberry.

 

166 in the half mile on stock turbo's?? That's insane. Are they stock VTG's or am I missing something?

 

Stock turbos. Rolling start, I was probably going 55-60 at first set of cones.

That being said, the car is strong. I am not a mechanic, the shop owner that did the mods said I was getting close to point of no more upside with current turbos. But if I went to bigger turbos, I would have had to change engine internals=$$$$ so I decided to be happy with what I had.

The paper slip Tony gave me at end of NFZ run said 166.6, my speedo said 163 as I went past cones, but that is glancing between white knuckles while trying to bring speed down in time to make corner. I was consistently over 160 according to speedo on all runs at NFZ5, but only collected one paper slip of trap speed.

Frankly I was doing 155 in previous events with everything stock but exhaust and tune, so I am not surprised at 166 with all the money I spent!!

 

I was doing 161-163 with 65mm VTG and full evoms 775 kit, upgraded injectors and a cobb protune. However, my rolling starts were 25-35mph at the cones, so you had a good leap. Hard to get a solid number on roll races.

 

Thanks D! I appreciate the feedback. Like I said in previous post, I was running with guys in the 700HP range. I did get spanked by a Supra with 800+ RWHP so I knew where I wasn't as well.....though I had him first quarter mile or so. 600HP cars were not with me either. So it kind of gave me a range of likely HP in lieu of Mustang dyno.

From research I knew that Todd Knighton and Protomotive have a great reputation for manufacturing, putting the parts together and tuning for performance in a holistic fashion like EVOMS does.

Like you said the rolling start events are not a direct measure, but give an idea. I have been reading the forum since I bought the blueberry and found owners going back and forth to the point of flame on what is the best, fastest, who is best tuner etc. I started discovering that cars can be set up to be fast in different areas, half mile, full mile, quarter mile, standing start vs rolling start, 60-130 etc etc. Frankly I was not interested in getting into that game, I just wanted a fast car!!

I know the car is fast, but there are always faster cars out there. I observed my good buddy Mike (MCGT3 of 6speed) with his 996 doing a 227MPH in the Texas Mile, and then observed him (not being satisfied) getting a highly modified GT-R and UGR Lambo, and saw where the addiction could take me!! I am not rich enough for the addiction!! My Camaro is fast and gives more visceral feedback than the Porsche, although the Porsche can eat it up (518 crank HP on Camaro after engine build, no real competition wit blueberry even with weight being significantly lighter on 67). My true love is the Camaro though, but that has a lot of history.

I like the car you are selling too, beautifully set up mechanically and exterior is just plain sexy. PM me when you sell it, I will be curious to see how you did. I will do the same!!

Cheers

 

Ok thanks. Not to detract from the thread. My car was from a standstill and trapping 147 in the 1/2!!

Great looking car with well documented history. Best of luck on the sale.

 

Can you post more pictures? interior shots... seat condition, etc. Thanks. Love the color.

 

Lots more photos on request. I am limited to 5 uploaded apparently. The seats have remained in great shape, primarily because 1) I apply leather conditioner every month 2) I get in and out of the car carefully to avoid wearing out the outside of seat like I have seen on too many cars, and 3) I am usually the only person in the car since wife hates it (goes back to someone's post on divorcing my wife, but that is too expensive of an option....)

Please let me know what specifically you want to see, or PM me and we can set up a file dump. While not a concours car, I don't like going to car shows, it is about as good as it gets for a vehicle with 33K miles (a bit less, but who is counting) that has not been restored for show. I know where each tiny imperfection is, since I am **** retentive about all my cars......

A few more notes: Person purchasing will get the methanol with fill can with what I have left. Right now I have about 4 gallons left. It doesn't use much, since it only uses meth when in boost, and I don't run it hard that often, not many suitable victims to run..... The radar detector stays as well. Odyssey charger specific for the battery goes with car. As far as bang for the buck on mods, the methanol injection with appropriate tune was biggest. Talking with Todd, the next big bang for buck mod would have been tune for E85, but since I cannot get it locally, I have not gone down that route, but the car is set up for it as far as injectors, just needs the new tune for it.

 

Some more pictures. I noticed on the gauge picture there are spots on the horn, I had sneezed when I got in the car..... I am going to go home and clean to spots now.... I have to come to office to post pictures, no PC at home, just wife's Apple which I avoid.

 

By the way RyanZ06

Tito Beveridge of Tito's vodka is a buddy of mine. We worked together in Venezuela many years ago, and have kept in touch over the years. Great Vodka!!

 

Gorgeous car

 

I finally convinced myself not to get another car but I opened this thread and now I'm drooling again... ugh

 

$76,900. Just installed interior door levers painted cobalt blue ice touch!! Now has 32900 miles. It loves the cooler weather!! It is listed on autotrader with more photos. Soon I will have to ship it to Durango Colorado as I am retiring and moving. but then it will look great on those windy CO mountain roads if I don't sell it!!!
