Here is some info I got from the dealer. The cam is not a G1 cam. Its much larger. So it should be no problem getting that much HP from that cam and cubes. What do you all think? Anything suspicious?

My question is: how is it an LS2 but the foundation is a C5R block?

Nice ride, and the wheels combo loo great with the Viper.

Yeah.. There's nothing C5R about that engine.. I'm thinking they put it in writing to hype it up.

At the same time.. It was dynoed on a Mustang dyno.. So those numbers on that dyno are very healthy.

In my opinion that car is worth around 28-29k.

Well, we couldn't agree on the price. The car was as nice as advertised. 10/10 inside. 9.5/10 outside. Sounded awesome. Probably not as friendly for everyday driving as I had hoped, but would have been fun.

Just curious what your offer was, since the car is already priced very well.

I offered $26,000. That was as high as I was willing to go. Several people on here and other Corvette people I knew said that $25,000 was as high as they would go.

Most people have absolutely no clue how much $$ it takes to build a large cube engine along with all the supporting modifications to make it run right.

Heres how I figure out the value of a car...


If the car was 100% stock its worth around $22K
It has around $25K in mods and labor.
On the very low end, I take 25 cents on the dollar for modifications.

So $22000 + 6000

Thats why to me that car is worth $28K

You won't find a lower mileage Z06 with an engine like this for that kind of price unless there's something mechanically wrong or it has high miles.

No doubt its priced well. I just really couldnt go above $26,000 without feeling uneasy about my monthly financial situation. I am still waiting on my Viper to get back from its performance enhancing surgery and the bill for it is going to be $20k+. I still may get it in the near future, but I couldn't do it at this very moment.

i am going with my own financing and currently have a deposit on the car untill sat end of day

im 3 hours away too, makes me feel good that its in the shape they advertise....

here is the kicker, great friend of mine works at hennessey with a lot of the old MTI guys and he is going to show them the charts and build sheet thats in this thread to see if there is more truth to the c5r block, either way, if it drives and is clean as they say, i should be having pics and video by this time sunday night lol


fingers crossed

Sorry, I have not.. I'm not even 100% sure where Frankfurt is.

Take it from someone who has had a supercharged Z06 and now a 427.. The big cube engine is way cooler and much less of a headache.
