There were actually 37 C5 automatics with the rare Turbonator option. Most people don't know this.. The factory installed these as a promo option. Option # GT06.. Look in his glove compartment at the option list to verify

Default Let me explain!!!

It was the 2000 FRC that came with the super secret high horsepower. After all why would they call it a "Factory Race Car"?

Mine was dynoed by ECS at 420 RWHP. Wait, was that before or after the heads/cat/etc??

I'm also looking for one of those rare steel body 1983 vettes!

My 98 puts 500 to the rear wheels. I'll tell your friend it's stock for $5.00.
