Maintenance:
Oil changes have always been Mobil 1 5W30 Full Synthetic.
I have used the Ranger method to clean the clutch fluid (last done at 54k, http://www.rangeracceleration.com/Clutch_Care.html).
New TR55 Spark Plugs at 52k.
Coolant change at 52k.

Other Information:
The car needs nothing but a new owner. I've owned this car since August of 2008. I recently bought a sedan for a new job and just don't have the time to enjoy this great car anymore. It is very quick and makes a ton of torque down low.

You really cannot beat the bang/buck performance of the C5 Corvette. I tend to get 22-23 MPG out of it (probably 80% highway), but it can do upper 20's if it's pure highway. Erik is one of the best tuners around and gave it a very safe/streetable tune.

As listed above, the car uses no oil, has no piston slap, and has always maintained great oil pressure.

The car has only ever seen the drag strip one time for one pass. I got a little too much wheel hop off line and snapped the factory output shaft. This is why the rear end has been upgraded with C6 Z06 OEM parts. I'd have no problem trying again but they closed the local track and I don't have the time for it anyways.

The transmission has never been abused or powershifted. The only launch it has seen is that one pass on the track. The clutch holds great and the transmission shifts smoothly between all gears.

I have a current Autocheck Report if anyone's interested and the cars most recent dyno graph. The Autocheck report is completely clear, but for the sake of full disclosure the front bumper was cracked on a parking lot median in 2010. The bumper was repaired at BF Bodyworks (one of the best body shops in KC) with 100% OEM parts. The bumper actually looks better than it did before with the few rock chips it had. This accident was 100% cosmetic with absolutely no frame damage.

The pictures attached are a bit old but I am planning on getting the car out soon washing off the garage dust so I can update them. We have had way too many 100*+ days in KC this summer. I'll also get a short video to give an idea of the lopey idle.

Message me for my contact information if you want to discuss anything further.

-Kyle

UPDATE 09.02.2012

Thanks for the compliments! Price is OBO.

In response to the PM's I have recieved, I would prefer to sell for cash, but I may be interested in a trade if it comes with at least $15,000 in cash.

Beautiful car. I had a 2000 Pewter FRC I sold on this forum several years back. Ive regretted getting rid of it, and am really considering getting back into another one...

This is right up my ally, but ive always been curious if i would have any issues passing emissions due to the mods like yours? Any idea? I live in AZ

Not sure what all AZ requires for emissions, but unless you have a buddy that can hook you up I doubt it. The car has long tube headers and no catalytic converters on the exhaust.

AFAIK, as long as you're not throwing codes you'll be fine down here.

Even if there aren't any codes thrown, I believe due to the model year that they use a sniffer, not just the CPU scan...

If its running a cam, tune, no cats, headers, I'd want to be certain it would pass before buying...

OP do you have a somewhat recent emissions report?

no cats will fail in all 50 states if the car was equipped with them OE

if you returned cats to the car and live in a state that only does a plug in you MIGHT pass provided they don't sweat you about the longtubes.

There isn't an emissions requirement where I live, so no I don't have an emissions report.
