How much is it for?

I'm trying for about $15,500... Kelly Blue Book estimates a value at just under $17,000 (minus the supercharger), but I know I can't get that much in this economy. I would be OK selling for as little as $13,000, but that would be too painful.

What about the brakes? I admit I know very little about Camaros but I have heard that their weakspots are cornering and braking.

Stock air intake is pretty good... that big scoop on the hood is actually functional on a stock SS. The supercharger, however, reroutes the air intake to pull air from the bottom... but the funny thing is that it works better that way.... the big scoop routes the air across the top of the engine before it goes in the airbox, so the air is heated quite a bit in transit. The rerouted intake draws cool air from outside directly into the airbox.
The braking on the car is awesome... Camaros before 1994 had shitty brakes, but the 4-wheel ABS on these F-bodies make them stop on a dime. I've had some dicey spots where I've needed good brakes, and they've never disappointed. As far as cornering, it corners well, but not as well as some other sports cars. The stock springs and shocks are made to give priority to a smooth ride over tight cornering... nothing that some Bilstein shocks and Eibach springs couldn't remedy in an afternoon. I also hear that subframe connectors and a Strut Tower Brace do wonders for the handling. Don't get me wrong though, the stock handling is pretty adequate, just not super-amazing.

Well, yes and no. Except for the "Yes" part.
