    03 Mineral Gray Vert - what is it worth?

    Thanks, guys. Appreciate the insight and advice. I've received some low ball interest, but this car is far too nice to let it go that easy. Garage kept its entire life and I have all the stock parts (minus the exhaust) to include the shifter that seems to be going for silly money...

    03 Mineral Gray Vert - what is it worth?

    Dredging this post up from the past. Still have the car... couldn't part with it back in 2015. No more mods than listed in the original post and sadly, not many more miles. Been on a trickle charger for the most part and since I've been deploying and moving about, I only get to drive it...

    03 Mineral Gray Vert - what is it worth?

    Thanks much! Your experience is very helpful. The autotrader 'instant quote' I received was significantly lower - insultingly so... I also don't think a dealer trade will be any better. Any other insights/opinions/experiences? Maybe it is a bad time to be selling an 03 vert?

    My Apten Experience

    Well, I finally achieved my goal of a 500/500 car. I will have to wait until the spring when our track reopens to see if I can achieve my other goal: an 11 second timeslip. Anyway, to the point of my post…. I know it has been a hot topic with quite a bit of varying opinions, but I thought...

    Quick Question Tranny Fluid

    I searched and found quite a few opinions - wanted to check if any had more thoughts. Tomorrow I'm doing some 10k maintenance: fuel filter, 4th oil change, and tranny fluid. There's the rub: I have both Redline D4 ATF and Castroil Dexron III at my disposal. Which fluid and why...
