Z06 replica

Hello all. I am looking at an 04 vert that has been converted to a Z06. It has a LS6 and all the cosmetics of a Z06 including seats and wheels. I am wondering if the stock running gear of the vert will hold up to the power of the LS6. Has anybody heard of a LS6 being put in a regular C5 before. Thank you beforehand on any replys.

first thing to look at is the heads, If they are not 243 heads that is already a red flag...

Sorry...I am a purist and poo poo on someone creating a fake copied version of anything. It used to frustrate me when I saw Ford Forbras on the road.

I personally have no problem with it, as long as the copy meets or exceeds the performance of the original.

I hate fakes too; there's no way I'd rebadge anything as the high-performance variant

Also, this thread is irrelevant; the car the OP refers to was determined to be an actual Z06 that was converted after being issued a salvage title, subsequent to a wreck
