Like I said in the other thread I'd go supercharged. The intimidator edition is a nice car, and even with the higher mileage it sounds like a good deal.

i think i would have to say the supercharged one for 3 reasons
1.....it was owned by an older fellow and probably was taking really good care of
2....the other one thats owned by a younger man probably couldnt keep his foot out the pedal
3...older people tend to treat there cars with alot more respect(all mateniance done by the pros)
just my opinoin though the other thing is the supercharger...i want that supercharger bad!!!!!!

If you had $1000 and wanted to turbo eventually, I would tell you to just save up for the kit.
could you perhaps link me to a page where I could look at one? I typed ZZP Turbo 3800 into google and got a website and for an intercooled it with new injectors would be like around 5g

I would go with the pace car because of the lower mileage. The L36 has plenty of power and will be lower geared than the supercharged car. To be honest, the 98 Grand Prix GT my ex-wife and I used to own with the L36 felt more powerful than the L67 in my 2004 Dale Jr. edition. Get the one that calls to you the most. The DE cars are also very nice and it does have the highly desirable supercharged engine. Just realize that you have to run Premium fuel in the L67 car.

Wrong. Higher octane doesn't "burn cleaner" it detonates later.

If you run a higher octane than your car is designed for the gas isn't burning efficiently and you are leaving a lot of crap in your engine and can clog your cat.
