A good sale price for your car would be around $17.5K as the new owner would bear all risk for repairs.
The risk for repairs is only small body damage.

And a 2001 Z06 is different than a 2002. More horsepower for starters and a better car overall ie doesn't have the oil burning issues, etc. A year newer with 10k less miles makes a difference.

I do have Borla Stingers cat back with x-pipe. I took the rest of the mods off.

My car at a stealership is going for about $24,000 right now.

That is retail.

The one my bro got had borla's too and 435 RWHP, so your car has nothing on it.

It also has LG BB kit from wilwood, poly bushings, addco sways, etc ... all corner balanced and set-up by Phoenix. The car has several road race records to it 's name.

Most of all you don't seem to know much about financing. Your car is too old and would not qualify at most places to be financed, so the person would have to have cash to buy your car.

Not too many guys walking around with $19K in their pockets these days.

Is your car paid off? Can you sit on it awhile? You'd probably have better luck selling it in the spring...... just my.02 cents

The longer you wait the lower the price is going to fall, especially given the current economy.
