Default Does anyone know this car?

I am really interested in buying this car and wanted to see if anyone knew anything about it. I sold my ZR-1 last year to go back to school and now that I'm out I NEED another Vette. I have never bought anything off of ebay and I'm kind of nervous about buying a modded car off of a website. Please let me know if anyone has any info on this car.

Thanks in advance.

Interesting... Z06 seats in a 97. Wonder why they put those in over the normal sport seat???

I'd invest some time and money and go drive this first. I'd also be suspicious of the Z06 seats. 6 speed manual transmission, which it is, but he's got it listed as an automatic. Oversight?
Not a bad price though if it's truly what the guy says it is.

I'd be a little cautious about buying a car that has so many mods. It may be a fine car, but just check it out very carefully. If high HP is what you are looking for, then this could be a reasonable way to get into a screamer.
