Default FS: 1997 C5 Coupe 6spd Modified 400whp $10k

I'm selling my 1997 Corvette Coupe 6spd because I got buy-in from the fiancee to upgrade to a C6!

SOLD!!! Congrats to the new owner!!

Where to start... it's a Torch Red 6spd Targa with ~115k miles on it and 400whp.

Below is the list of upgrades:

The engine work has about 30k miles on it. The brakes and clutch have less than 5k miles on them. It has been my daily driver - never raced, and it's in great shape. Here are some pictures.

Again, I'm asking $10,000.

I'm sure I left stuff out so PM or post with questions.

Thanks,
Dan Dalton

Tom Wong at Wong's Performance Engineering tuned it - he is a fantastic tuner and anyone on here who's had work done at his shop will agree.

Soon as I get a chance I'll get some interior pictures.

Thanks for the replies.

I really want an FRC, but this is very tempting. I don't quite have the cash though, so I'll just give you a bump to the top. Looks like a nice car. Any interior pics?

All I gotta say is, that's a lot of Corvette for 10 g's. Someone should grab this as a no-brainer.
