It appears my post flew over clg82's head by a mile or more! What I was trying to convey in my post, about someone offering me -$14,000 (less than I have invested). I will explain in simple terms to fill in the blanks that were missed.

I paid CASH for my ZL1, a total of $84,000+ out the door, including taxes, title, fees, license etc. I didn't even try to negotiate even a penny less from full MSRP/Price. I then voided the warranty with around 99 miles on the car. Why? Because I wanted my car built and the warranty didn't matter to me. I then paid a premium, in CASH for all the mods Katech did on my car, (3 different mods). I've paid upfront in CASH at a premium, to Katech for the upcoming mods they are going to start on my car in a few weeks (900+ rwhp when done).

The building of my car, was done my way. It wasn't done the most affordable or inexpensive way, not even the most efficient way. Did I waste money on mods just to replace them later with other mods, YEP!

So, when someone offered me -$14,000 less than I have invested, it was a laughable offer. I'll NEVER sell my car, not even for $200,000+. Because, 1) I LOVE owning my car, 2) I don't want to buy another and start over, and 3) I don't need the money from selling it. Summary, no amount of money would motivate me to sell my American muscle dream car!
