It all depends on what you are looking for --- street / track combo it is not a bad price. Badly needs a real race seat for track use. No cutouts for harnesses through seat. If you want a total track car, there are several cars listed on the forum and through Phoenix, etc. that are better bangs for the buck.

Last item listed is a Race seat for $500. I do not know Much about the C6 but the price seems fair.

looks good to me. buy an 06z with 9k miles and try to replicate that build. you're looking north of 80k would think.

It looks like a nice car and a good price if that is what you are looking for. The only thing I would want if I was doing a car like this, is, I would have put a forged bottom end in the engine with this kind of HP. That's just me! Other than that the car looks like a good value for the money. Just my .02 JD

I know of a red dual purpose 60k mile 466rwhp 2000FRC/M12 with light track mods for $22k.
And it's never once been on a track of any kind.

For the level of mods the car has that's a great price. Those cars are in the mid 30's and as winter approaches they will go even lower. Can't really do those mods for 25K. Proper seats, mounts, harnesses and the airbag plugs are another 3K so you'll have 60k plus tax and tags in it.

My only question is reliability and the reason I personally would not buy it. In a roadcourse environment everything I have seen modified blows up way before it's stock counterpart does. When left alone these things seem to just run and run. They are already plenty fast. Faster than I can drive them.

That's a lot of tires in the garage for a car that's never been on the track......

Those are for my race car.
This car still has the stud tabs on the rotors from the factory.
