Cool man, look forward to hearing your opinions. They are neat cars. How many miles are on it?

They are an L98, not an LT5. It is a stock block and intake, but the internals have been uprated and the compression lowered. Then two turbos are added, and two supplementary injectors are added to the intake tract (making the intake a wet one).

In '87 they made 345hp. None made 450 except for a few 1991 cars where the owners paid more. The '88-91 cars made 403hp, mainly due to larger Rotomaster turbos. The '87 uses smaller IHI turbos, but the upshot is they are still available.

Except for the 4+3 trans, and the NACA ducts looking sort of 80's, an '87 would probably be the easiest to own and really drive hard.

No. The 87 only has NACA ducts in the hood.. the Aerobody was not avail until 1989. That said, the PO could have had it installed but that is not the case

Oh yes, we must see some piccys. I was just driving around today in the Z (it goes to work with me) and thinking about those Callaway twin-turbo cars. I'll be interested to hear about the driveability.
