08 Z06- Mti Sequential Tranny- full race cage/prep Steal at $48k
This car used to be fore sale on here a while back. I picked the car up with the intention of ripping the tranny out and stuffing it in my other car... I'm currently reconsidering as I don't want it to completely spoil me, and it likely will if I drive it again. I took it to Sebring this past weekend for one day of Time Trial after sorting out some small issues Saturday. Car is pretty well sorted, and plenty fast even without "big" power.
Car was previously listed at a "reduced" price of 58k. I'm going to fire sale the car at $48k. You can't hate it for the price- $25k is in the tranny alone, plus Aero, suspension, brakes and cage work, the car is basically free.
I've only spent this past weekend in the car, so here are my candid observations about the car, and then I will list out all the nitty gritty specs below that, plus pictures. Car has a clean/clear Florida title in hand. Car weighs right around 3k
Chassis has 25k on it. Motor and sequential have less than 7 hours on their build.
My thoughts about the car:
The sequential will spoil you rotten (actually the reason I am choosing "Not" to install it in my other car, although if this sits long enough, I will likely change my mind) You only use the clutch when you first start rolling or on downshifts, the system cuts spark on both up and down, but you just pull the lever for ups. the 7.5" racing clutch is a bit much for the car, but easily usable.
Car is quick- Ran an easy 2:19 at Sebring. At full tilt, this car should be a 2:15 or better car.
If kept in hot climates, it will need Oil cooling- In our hot 96* heat yesterday, car got into mid 270's oil temp when pushing for more than 4-5 laps. Water was warmer as well that session, running 230-240, so better fans, external oil cooler etc.
Wilwood Brakes- They are not my favorite- I run AP racing on my other car. Wilwood has limited pad selection- Brakes grab well, but engage ABS too easily for my taste. Pads were new as well until sebring this weekend for 12 timetrial laps (3 sessions, 4 laps each)
TraqMate dash system in pics is not included- I had to remove it as the tach calibration and gauges was off. Factory tach and all factory gauges except speedometer work(spedometer seems to hang at 30 mph. The traqmate also blocked my view of that, so I removed it.
The lever by where an "ebrake" would be, is actually a master power switch- Not fond of the location or design, but there is also a master power disconnect on the passenger side B pillar(outside of car) as well.

Saw this monster at Sebring this weekend.
With the build spec and transmission this car is an absolute steal at 60K.
Not to mention you couldn't find a more gracious seller.

If you wanted to see some very bad video of this thing in action yesterday, here ya go!
*side note- Mounting your cell phoen to a lexan windshield does not yield the most stable videos... but the sound really demonstrates the shifts in this thing!

This is pretty much exactly what I want my car to end up like... Too bad I didn't wait awhile to buy... Ah well.
If you have a build thread on this beauty I'd love to look over it! Especially the cage, trans/diff cooler, wiring, etc.
