Thats ok Brad, ill buy yours for 15k once you finished building that new motor.
to me a "stock" is one thats brought over from Japland, with nothing done. Like you would drive it off the factory floor. Factory Optioned up is ok.
You gotta think that with taking off performance parts, the motor has now had extras stresses that it wouldnt have had if it wasnt modified.
I personally, have been through the modifying a car scene, and now I find it less hassle to buy a premodded car. Nothing stupid like strapping a T70 turbo or something to a standard motor, but sensible stuff like suspension, rims, exhaust.
