About 10 years ago I was working at a Corvette performance shop and boss/friend decided he wanted to build a dedicated road race car out of 2005 C6 that he bought new off the lot. We started the process but life happened, he got married to a military lady and ended up moving to Germany where he now has a successful taxi/ car rental/ hotel at the Nurburgring in Germany called Apex. With that the C6 was left here in northern CA in storage for the past 8-10yrs. He recently decided that it’s a project that he’s lost interest in and isn’t going to happen, so he asked me if I’d like to take on the project. Of course I said yes. I aquired it from him and brought it home. Car has no interior, no engine and the drivetrain is unknown at this point. I purchased a take out LS3 from a 2008 along with the full harness and the interior harness with BCM. I’m still on the fence but if budget allows I’d like to delete the BCM and run a stand-alone abs setup. For now the plan is put a cam in the LS3, get a Z06 drivetrain, most likely LG coilovers, sway bars, spindles etc., still deciding on the brakes and wheels. Interior wise a pair of race seats, cage, fab up a dash and a few gauges. At some point I’d like to go widebody but not a priority at this point. The end goal is to be as lite aand simple as possible as it will most likely be just for fun doing track days. It’s going to be awhile before it’s ready but it should be a fun project with an even funner end reason!

For some reason the forum isn’t letting me upload all the pics but here is one for now

That's going to be an awesome car when you get it going. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

Yes! Mostly interested in the wheels but Pm me with what you have and asking prices. Thanks.

yes Rich is one of my good friends. The car will eventually end up with the LG suspension set up. I’m getting ready to install a set of G2 coilovers and sway bars on my C7 Z06. I know the car you’re referring too, it turned out really good and the owner of that car actually purchased my 17’ Grand Sport for his wife.

I agree the Bosch unit is out 100% due to the cost, I’ve been talking with G-Speed about the a plug and play unit for the C6 from a e46 bmw (mk60) but they haven’t given me a price yet. The pull out LS3 I purchased, I purchased the BCM and interior harness as well from the car for not much more so that I could eliminate the need for putting it in reverse that was specific to the 05’s. Basically I’ll have an 08 when it’s done. I’ll probably go that route for budget reasons for now just to get the car going.
