It spends most of its time under a cover in my garage.
I only floor it on the Interstate above 80mph, but for the most part it stays in my garage. I could have bought a new base model C8 for what I have in this C5.... if anything was to happen to it, insurance wouldn't even come close to reimbursing me for it.
You really need to look into getting an agreed value insurance policy. Some places to check would be NCM, Hagerty, and State Farm. These policies are often cheaper than standard comprehensive insurance, but if something DOES happen, they'll actually pay you the value that you have agreed upon (You basically tell them what you think the car is worth). You can actually include the cost of the mods in the value. Obviously the higher the value, the higher the premium. The main issue that some have with these policies is that some of them limit how and when you drive the car. However, you're already not driving it much, so that shouldn't be an issue for you at all. Look into it. I think it would make a LOT of sense for a build like yours.
Heroic build Sir! I have so much respect and appreciation for the the attention to detail and the all out exceptional choice of components. I really hope you're able to enjoy it for all the evident blood, sweat, and tears that went into it.
Also does anyone else smirk with he said "finished". I did then I looked through the pics. She's done. Nothing else you can do to that to make it better.

I appreciate everybody's comments....Thanks guys. I am currently with StateFarm and have discussed "stated value" with my agent. Unfortunately, they do not offer it.
Life put a full stop on my Z06 progress this summer. Also some changes to the combo. There is no question I will have it running over the winter and once it is settled in I'm curious where it will fall vs yours. Probably (hopefully?) lower in power since that's more than I want on the street. From my PRC 225 combo I stepped up to Mamo 235s and will see a .3 drop in compression. Giving up some power there, but it depends on how much timing I can add back.
What's your CR, about 10.55? How much boost restriction did this combo reach? And is that pump 93, ethanol mix, or other fuel for those numbers?
Impressive as hell. We definitely need some audio/video of this thing running.
Any noise or belt issues with the direct drive yet?
