Default Has anyone owned this z06

I'm thinking about purchasing this z06 but I was wondering if anybody on here has ever owned it. Owner claims he has only put 2000 miles on it. Any help would be appreciated.

Avoid financial headaches. Make sure the loan has been paid off if you're buying from a private seller.

He put a LS7 in it?

I'm not sure the owner knows what he has. He also has it listed with a LS1 in the same listing. But I bet thing will fly.

No, I've never owned it.

It's a low miles car and the engine looks clean with a good install on the Super Charger. My bet is the "LS7, 427,LOW MILES, NOS, TURBO" are tag lines and the LS1 listing for the Engine is a mistake. It sure has been through some owners though

5 owners and not one of them drove it nearly enough. What is wrong with people? If I had a boosted C5, I'd have 50k miles on it in a mater of months.

Car has never been raced... I love it when people put this in the description. Maybe he installed the supercharger and it was to much power for him to handle so now he is selling it...

Anytime you buy a modded car you take a risk because you don't know who did the work, How it was done, If they replaced other parts to make the car more reliable, Etc.

Only way I would buy a modded car is if it came with a book of receipts from reputable shops and I could have it looked at by a performance shop to verify the work.
