All I read is, upgraded this, changed out that, installed new exhaust, etc.........

I'm planning on buying a newer C5/C6 for my next driver but I'm a "as built" nut!

Mine was stock for about 1 week when I bought it...then Longtubes and Corsa exhaust was put on. After that, I went kinda , Forged/blown etc...and list goes on...

So to answer your question, probably not too many.

There has to be some out there, but probably not many here.

Probably harder to find, especially since the price of the C5's have dropped into many peoples price ranges. They can not only afford the car, but they can also drop a few grand into it.

That said, Dad's isn't stock, I just put on a Vararam CAI and had ECS mail order tune it.

I bought mine in 100% stock condition on a friday, less than 24hrs later it was lowered on stock bolts, intake box modified, and a aftermarket shifter ****.

With that said, it shouldnt be too tough to find a stock one to buy.

My C5Z has Exhaust but the stock exhaust is in storage... If I ever sell I can return it to stock condition.

My '02 vert is stock. But I'd like to add an aftermarket exhaust at some point. It's just not a priority right now.

Stock and staying that way. I did tweak the tune a bit, but that's just software.

Mine was stock. Up grading the vet is a lot cheeper than up grading to a different new woman. Devorce is very expensive.
But realy that is one of the things that makes owning a vett fun. You can make it the way you want it.
