Default For Sale: 710 RWHP 671 RWTQ 2001 C5 - work done by Charlie at RPM Motors

With 710 Rear Wheel Horsepower and 671 Rear Wheel Torque you can knock down 10 second times at the 1/4 mile drag strip in the morning, go pick up groceries in the afternoon, and then go out for a nice dinner in the evening.

The basics: 2001 Corvette C5 with Z51 package and Auto Transmission. Very heavily modified to kick butt.

Current mileage 36,587 - Car is in San Diego area.

I am the original owner and it has a clean carfax

$25,000 (no trades- I have enough toys.)


This Corvette has a ton of high end mods, but it is also very well sorted out. You could drive it work every day and then slay everyone at the track on the weekends. Check out the dyno sheet and the 1/8 mile time slips. 6.67 in the 1/8 mile (on drag radials of course).

Here is a YouTube video of some passes down the 1/8 mile some years ago:





































Video Walk-thru with idling and revving. Note this is with the Quiet exhaust set up which has Cats and an X-pipe with 4 muffler inserts in it. The Normal setup has Cats and an open X-Pipe. Full Race has no Cats:


Paint, interior, etc. all in great condition. All told some $90k had been poured into this Corvette over the years so of course it was always garaged and well taken care of.

Here is the long list of head spinning mods:
2001 C5 Corvette Coupe Z51
710 Rear Wheel Horsepower @ 5950 RPM
671 Rear Wheel Torque @ 4625 RPM

Hi Jeff,

Yes! All the creature comforts are connected and working from AC, to Heater, to Cruise Control, etc.

Cheers!

How much boost are you running to make those numbers (15psi)? Are there multiple tunes running less boost? if so what numbers did you get at less boost?

Thanks!
