It may be a CE but it isn't even a 4LT version. I agree with the $36k quotes around here. Seller is asking for Z06 type money. Very few C6s are rare.
Wheel/tire combo is not my style, especially the tires. Advertise that you have crap Goodyears when there are better performing options available today. If they are the stock Goodyears then they are probably getting near the end of their life and are over 6 years old.

Regardless of what the owner is asking, he has documented most of his mods by video on the forum. If you search for them, it may give you an indication of how well this beauty was cared for. Good luck in your search and please do keep us posted. Side note-I love the carbon flash metallic color so much that I had my machine silver roof and halo painted with it.

He’s also a forum member and has it listed in the for sale section so let’s not be too harsh. But yes, I do agree it is overpriced for a GS. I would say $37-40k to someone who really wanted it and needed a well taken care of CE. But that is tops, IMO. The wheels are not for me but the car looks great overall and well cared for. Unfortunately you don’t really get your money back on mods, and I think the owner is factoring in the mods into the selling price.

Fred, I understand why you are saying that, but when a person lists a car, we agree not to interfere in the sale. That does not carry over into advising another member, who requested the info, if we are not doing so in the "for sale" section. I wish I did not know it was for sale on the forum so that I could say what i really think about the price...
To the OP, if you like the car make an offer. It does look like a nice car that is just overpriced right now, IMO. But it is also a good sign that the owner values his car and probably took good care of it. To be honest, the first owner of my car was originally asking $10k more for the car than what I ended up purchasing it for. If you are patient, I'm sure the asking price will start making it's way down to a more reasonable figure.

Fred made a good point for the OP. No harm in telling the seller that you would be interested if he ever drops the price closer to $XX. Give the seller something to think about...

It's a clean car with a good bit of mods to it. To someone who wants the mods, that adds value. It's a rare car that people like. I dont think he's out of his mind at 46k, the right buyer would see it as a deal for a clean, low mile car with mods they want.
IMO, the car is 43 to 44k real world selling price. People will say "well kbb this" and "CEs dont add value I could buy one in this or that color for this little", or "that's ragged out ugly c7 money" or "I could buy a 6 year older z06 for that". Bottom line is, that may be true to some, but this car has a buyer that doesn't care about those things. This car puts down z06 power, with a more reliable engine, takes the roof off, and isnt 70k like a CE z06, assu.ing you find one of those.

Thank you to all who responded. I think we can end this conversation. I have made my decision and will let the seller know tomorrow. I’ll let you all know the decision after I deal with the seller. I don’t want him to see it here in case he happens to read this commentary on his vette.

OP, good luck in your search.
It's funny, people have these expectations of these cars to be perfect. They want the car that has every record for gas showing 93 from shell. They want UoA for every oil change done yearly despite having 10k miles. They want to buy the car that needs nothing, has everything, and could be a time capsule car.
But then when that sort of car is for sale, the forum says its overpriced and should be priced like the cheapest car on craigslist that has a shot stain on the seat and is missing parts. Ain't that some ****? Not directed at the OP, it may just not be the car for him, just a comment about how the forum behaves in general.
