Don't think I'd be in a hurry to buy one that's been flogged at the track.

Unless you are willing to take a big chance on how long the car will last with all those mods, look elsewhere. There are plenty of low mileage C5s out there that are pretty much stock that can be had for a lot less.

I'm with these guys......look around. Go Toys are good but you have a lot of options out there right now.

I agree with the others. You can buy a S/C for $7,900 installed on your C5 Coupe and get 525 rwhp. I would think that would be enough. We paid $16,500 for our coupe and with the price of the S/C it would put the price under 25K and you would know it was not abused. I am having second thoughts because in the last Car Craft magazine, they have a complete LS2 for $7,000. Seems odd that a S/C would cost more than a complete engine.

Great input guys. Thanks!

I agree with the suggestions, especially those involving a base coupe with the sc upgrade.

If it were the LAST Z06 on earth I wouldn't pay $1.00. What a POS!
