Default 2000 FRC Nassau Blue 800rwhp forged 346/paxton/tigershark

I'm debating selling my 2000 nassau blue FRC

originally owned by carmen of The Vette Doctors, I've owned it a little over a year now.

24K miles on the car (Z06 cluster in it says 27, but I have the original around)
heads up dispay and dash pad from a heads up car
full Z06 sways and shocks
19 inch ccw 505a's with pilot sports
tigershark nose and rear fascia (no chin spoiler)
high rise hood of some sort
800 mile forged 346
243 (LS6) heads with comp double springs redone
ecs blower cam
60 lb motrons
ecs fuel system
1 7/8ths kooks headers, cats, x pipe, into a fabbed up catback which sounds good and makes power
1000 mile M12 (Z06 close ratio) transmission rebuilt by vette dr's (the one in the car locked up shortly after I bought it and carmen stood behind it) with all the good stuff and hardened shafts
built 3.42 rear with both shafts and new clutches
DTE brace
textrailia exoskel twin (its not fully disengaging at the moment so its coming out and getting replaced by textrailia when I get energetic)
custom stereo w alpine 7998 head unit (old but high demand)
jl 300/2 and 500/1 amps
focal 100kp and 165kbe 3 way door speakers (no rears)
custom fiberglassed box with kicker comp 12 in it
ecs paxton novi 8 rib, with all of the usual upgrades and extra braces
ecs level 2 fuel system
ecs dual nozzle meth kit
5 point rollbar with driver's side removable swingout and harness

there's probably more in this thing that I can't think of ask away and I'll answer, otherwise a call to ECS and they know it all inside and out.

I pretty much bought the car with no motor and put a brand new forged 346 and blower into it. The rear and trans are also gone thru with less than 1K miles each.

essentially this car has a paint job you can eat off of (carmen had it redone 6/07, I put one scratch on the lower front fascia when I borrowed a trailer and hit the ramp but its on the bottom side and not visible) and a driveline with less than 1k miles on it

car makes more power than it can realistically put down (even with a drag pack) was 790 something 680 something on pump gas/meth

4drush has the same setup with a quarter inch larger pulley and an auto and runs mid 9's......never got a clean pass with this car but expect it to be noticably slower with a 6 speed. I've debated putting an auto into it, but don't want to make it a drag car.

I'd like 45 or best offer

I can also make it cheaper if needs be, stock rims with runflats or Z06 rims with nitto 555R2's, stock stereo system....or as is....

don't need to sell but I'm thinking I might just stick with my 427 car and pick up a new CTS-V for something a lil more tame for every day.

ok, gonna see what I can pull off my old desktop tonite and try and get some pictures tommorrow, unfortunately forecast says mostly cloudy....

have this for the meantime



















gonna hang onto the 99 coupe with 120k miles, and make it street legal, just like the attitude of the 427 C5R in it too much...

one thing I forgot to mention.........this car is SD tuned, so changing to a larger belt and a smaller pulley would probably be in most people's best interest vs. driving around with a stupid amount of power all of the time (we talked of a restrictor plate but big boost cars eat belts if you plate them so it would need a pulley swap to dial it back instead)......tune would still be dead on. Doug has spent ALOT of time with my car on the dyno and the road....

well I guess no one wants a car with some power......350 hp must seem fast to most of you...

sounds like I'm gonna have to get energetic and part the good stuff out and turn this thing stock for teh waxers or something...

Good luck on the sale, just being realistic man.

We are all dealing with the impact of the economy, so you are not alone. I feel your pain (he says in his best Bill Clinton impression).

Good luck. Remember, it's not the car, it's not you, it's not personal, it's just the economy.

this pisses me off more than anything. nowhere did i see the seller asking for any opinions on what you think it's worth. the seller has put good money into the car and it's a 00' with 24k miles. the car is worth whatever someone is willing to pay not what you are willing to pay.

if you are not interested keep the comments to yourself. i'm sure the market is tough but this need not be pointed out over and over again. especially those not interested in the car.
