To build, or to buy? It’s a tough question that many of us face from time to time. While most of us would honestly rather turn our own wrenches and build the car of our dreams with our own two hands, you’ve got to admit that occasionally a built car comes along that’s just too good of a deal to pass up. We’d like to offer up this nasty 4^th Gen Camaro to you as one such car.

The power plant is a 408ci iron block LS with an S-91 turbo.

We came across this beast for sale on Southern Maryland’s Craigslist at what seems to be a very fair price given what all has been done to the car. Starting with the engine, the Camaro moves under the power of a fully built 408ci iron block with a set of Stage 3 Patriot cathedral port heads and a mild 236/236 .578 cam. That would be a stout combo by itself, but an S-91 turbo kicks things to a whole other level – like in the 1,000 horsepower range.

Power is no good if you can’t make the car move with it, and to that end the 4^th Gen is equipped with a race prepped Turbo 400 and a Moser 9-inch rear end. The suspension consists of just about every component that our friends at BMR make for 4^th Gens, from the front K-member to the adjustable torque arm.

The price? An even $19,000 – about the price of a stock C5 06 with some pretty high mileage. We think it’s a deal if you’re in the market for this kind of car. What do you think?
