Default 2001 Speedway White Z06 LS7 427






History of vehicle..

1st owner... purchased new in FL
2nd owner... from NC, member here.. during his ownership at a 4 way stop intersection, he and the driver to his left started going at the same time and the guy hit him on the drivers side front fender. 10mph impact which resulted in a new fender due to a crack and a new wheel due to scuffs. I have pictures of the damage if anyone is interested, very very minor.
3rd owner... me, since Dec 2006

I purchased this car with about 50K miles.. it now has around 76K miles on the chassis.

A year after I purchased this car I installed a A&A Supercharger kit on it and ran it like that for about 3-4 years. Eventually I missed having a NA car so I decided on a LS7. So about 5 years ago I had a LS7 installed with PRC heads.. After over 3 years on the LS7, an exhaust valve dropped and killed the engine.. to this day I still have no idea why PRC reused the stock valves, this happened January 2015 on the dyno after installing a ported LS7 intake and wanting to get a retune. June of 2015 I located another LS7 from a forum member here in KY. Both the shop I use to do all my work and myself were busy and car wasn't completed until around Oct 2015. At that time I was already thinking of selling the car, priorities changing and I decided to put the car up for sale. But soon after, we realized there was something wrong with the engine.. it was almost winter and I was going through some health issues and just didn't have the time nor energy to put toward the car.. I put it in storage and figured I'll tackle it after the holidays. At the time we were thinking bad valve seals and should be an easy fix. I had a buyer lined up from this forum but wouldn't sell to him until car was 100%. After digging into the engine we learned the block I purchased from a forum member here was bad and I right away notified my buyer letting him know I can't sell him the car. Fast forward a few months and a brand new GM LS7 block was installed with new forged pistons. The engine now has around 500 miles on it from the 7-10 times I had it out this summer and it is running absolutely 100%.

Two reasons for selling the car... I've owned it now almost 10 years, its time, I didn't think I was going to keep it this long, this has definitely become my longest lasting car. Also, after this winter I'm breaking ground and building a house. I'm not desperate to sell and won't give it away. But its just time to let it go for the right price. At the same time I'm pretty sure there will be times in the future that I'll regret doing this.

Mods..
LS7 with WCCH heads 500 miles
Speed Inc Street grind cam.. very mild cam
Double Roller Timing Chain
FAST 102 intake
K&N CAI
FLT built trans about 1500 miles ago
LS7 clutch 500 miles
1 7/8" headers, no cats. I have HiFlow cats to be included.
Borla catback
LG GT2 fully adjustable Coilers (1000 miles)
CCW wheels
ACP rear bumper
Sun Gun headlights with CF shrouds
OEM GM rear euro taillights
Dual heated seats
iPod hookup
C6 shifter
SS brake lines
All brand new OEM stabilizer bar links.
A bunch of other little tasteful mods that I've lost track throughout the years.


PM me for my phone number and I can thoroughly answer any of your questions via a phone call. I'm doing this to filter out tire kickers.

$28500 obo

Thank you for all the kind words


Im also open to trades but only for a daily driver or diesel truck. My current daily driver is a Audi TDI thats effected by the diesel scandal so at some point Im going to sell it back to Audi anyways.

How streetable is the car? Would it make an 8 hour drive, without ant problems. I am looking for a streetable car. One I can drive cross country, if I want to.

Very streetable.. this was my reason for choosing the cam I did and staying with a LS7 clutch. For me, the car has been a fun weekend toy, driven in my area and occasionally to WI and back (4 hour round trip). Functional A/C and heated seats.

Bada is a tire kicker Pete.... Don't waste your time. He inquired about my car @ one time.. Agreed on a deal, backed out... Same song...
"Will it make it 8hrs"...

Weekend bump for a great car!!!

Yup.. Strange guy.. I think he has a few different accounts because within a few hours 4 different people including him gave me the same exact offer.. I counter offered (we were $1000 apart) all 4 and no reply.

I've seen that tactic a few times over the years. Those types of people are as low as they come. Funny thing they actually think their smarter than they actually are GLWTS....Don't see this rare gem lasting long.
