ok I will do that tomorrow, today getting an oil change and tune up the guy there said that it sounds cammed. It's still there today so we will find out tomorrow. Another interesting thing with this car, and I'm not sure if it's all Z06 but the car will stall out below ten unless your are riding the clutch, as soon as you drop below 10mph it starts to stall. It just wants to go that car

There is no chance a stock C5Z w/ the stock gearing would want to stall w/ little gas in 1st from a stop.
Try putting it in first in a parking lot & get it rolling, let off the gas & see if the car will just continue idling & pulling or if starts bucking & sputtering, if bucking its cammed...but based on what you described I'd bet money it is.

Then its cammed as well. I see the headers/intake on there, guy is running the car w/o the engine cover.....I just had my C5Z cammed w/ a "mid-level" type cam & where I used to be able to just let the clutch out progressively w/ NO throttle in 1st to get going on even slight inclines (& from a dead stop in 2nd on flat ground) - I now need to give it more gas & release the clutch a little later/higher.

, I had looked at numerous c5z and this one was immaculate 15k for 60 thousand miles. If you can find one in that condition at that price let me know. All the records checked out and the car was serviced. Anyway I would have planned on doing mods at some point. I guess being 24 didn't help
