Looking to move on from my car that I've had since 2012 when I purchased it in Missouri. A little bit of history on the vehicle:
2012: Bought the car and it had a Maggie/full exhaust and the car made 475rwhp.
2013: Wanted more power so I purchased a Vortech S-Trim kit for the car from A&A as well as a cam install and meth injection. 670rwhp
2014: Wanted that 'once in a lifetime build' and went Twins on the car and this is where it currently sits:
All work performed by Mayhem Motorsports in Raleigh, NC.
2003 Corvette Z06 with roughly 63,800 miles on the clock.
-Built Iron block 408 with CNC'd trickflow heads and a Holley Midram intake. Dragonslayer crank and wiesco pistons inside along with a custom ground turbo cam. The engine has roughly 4000 miles on it and the engine is built to handle 1500hp.
-Fuel system is built to handle all the HP you want, duel pump system with ID2000 injectors that currently support the use of E85/E98 which is all I run in the vehicle *this can be retuned on pump gas if you want.
-Custom Twin Turbo kit supporting a Treadstone Intercooler and Turbonetic 64mm turbos backed by 40mm WGs and a 60mm BOV. Best of the best on the kit as the piping was welded in house by Mayhem Motorsports, nothing was spared in this build.
-Transmission is a built TR6060 level 6.
-McLeod RXT Twin disc that feels great on engagement and holds strong. (roughly 7000 miles on the clutch)
-Stock diff with BRAND NEW 3.42 gears, never had an issue with it drag racing or having fun on the street.
-Co2 recently added to help stabilize boost when going above spring pressure (16psi & up)
-Boost Leash controller with up to 5 stages for boost progression.
-CCW 17inch drag pack with Mickey Thompson Street Rs (75% tread left) out back and M&H tires up front. Car hooks pretty good on the street with these tires (3rd gear and above).
Appearance:
-Stock hood cut to have intake and intake pipe along with BOV. Reason behind this was at 1/2 mile events the old hood would rise up with air underneath, the stock hood sits flush and has no issue of this.
-Smoked lamps all the way around including reverse lights
-Custom black Z06 Twin Turbo badges
-20% tint on side and back glass
-Side moldings removed
-Upgraded sound system in the car with larger speakers/Amp/Subwoofer with a single Din CD player that supports bluetooth. (I apologize, not great with sound equipment I cant remember the products but it sounds great)
-Few nicks and scratches but overall the car is in great shape.
-c6 **** on top of a MGW shifter
Car is capable of more boost and timing...so you still have plenty of room to make more power on this setup
Recently participated in the WannaGoFast 1/2 mile event in GA with a pass of 182.77mph.
Car runs absolutely fantastic and is a real monster when the boost comes in, aside from that its quite docile and easy to drive.
Price: 39,000.
Price of this vehicle is for a car that is more then capable of 1200rwhp as it sits, I spent over 35k alone on this setup. Not in dire need to sell the vehicle but will entertain serious offers. Just to put the pricing into perspective, aside from a GTR/Lambo or another built Corvette, not many cars you can buy/build today for these prices.
*Changed the 'after install' price up a bit as I will be going with a RPM stage 6 transmission so this thing will be ready to handle anything that is thrown to it. After thinking of where I need to be to sell the car, and you'd be getting a completely fresh trans with no miles on it, the price was changed. Thanks for the looks!
Thanks! I'd put it up against any other built Vette right now as far as power output. I see C6Z's with blowers and Zr1s needing gas ontop of full bolt-ons to reach near where this car is capable of being on boost only!
Nice build. The 37K-42K price difference from a T56 to 6060 is a little outa whack tho.
To fit a TR6060 into the C5 isn't just a simple bolt up, along with it being a bulletproof trans...and the labor, its well within reason.
Also, going to install a new set of gears in the diff since they have been in the car for over 12 years, and 3 of those years its seen 600+rwhp, nice and fresh ones will be installed.
Few updates:
-Went ahead and got the TR6060 stage 6 transmission and is being put in as we speak.
-Also while the car was up on the lift, they suggested fresh gears in the diff as the current ones have been in there for 13 years and with all the power being pushed for the past 4 years, they could stand to have been replaced, so with the car will come a fresh gear set.
Taking the car to the track Nov. 7th to see how it does in the 1/4 as well. Updates on that to follow!

Understood. But we all know how labor cost is generally a wash when it comes to resale. Good luck at the track! A 165mph trap should help motivate a few buyers.
Update! Car ran strong and with a driver mod as it sits should be a mid 9 second car with boost up to around 20lbs of boost in 3rd @ 4th...and it has more power available
