SGC "408" now 368, for sale. - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

limey · 12-28-2008

Many of you may remember Julios old SGC 408 car from a few years back, i purchased it 4 years ago for a LOT of money, at that time it was one of the fastest street cars in FL. Anyway, after having the car roughly 4 weeks, the 1st time i used the nitrous in a race the engine blew two pistons.

After dealing with no end of problems with my engine builder, i finally got the car back about 8 weeks ago, well needles to say, after driving it 8 miles, the motor let go again, this was driving @ 45 MPH in traffic. I am sure the cam is seizing in the cylinder head.

So, to cut a long story short & to lower the stress factor this car has given me over the past 4 years, i decided that it's time to sell it and focus on my next road warrior project. (for those interested, this is one car we just finished, next in line is a Murcielago) The car is now listed on ebay and you can see pics and details here.

I'm more than happy to answer any questions to forum members direct & would be happy to allow anyone local to come see the car and decide if they feel like fxing it, but for me i have no desire to work on it anymore, 4 years is plenty of time.
