F/S - 2006 LMB Z51 Coupe - Tampa, FL
CAR IS SOLD
I am the original owner. My wife and I picked it up at the factory (museum delivery) on December 16 of 2005. In April of 2006, Lou Gigliotti of LG motorsports (Wylie, TX) picked it up in one of his transporters while his team was in Florida participating in the St. Pete Grand Prix. He took it back to his shop and put in the G5X3 cam, valve springs, retainers, push rods, LG Pro long tube headers, a cold air intake, an under drive pulley, corsa sport exhaust and then tuned the PCM. He put the car on the dyno at that time and it produced 435 RWHP and 409 ft-lbs of RWTQ. He brought it back to Florida in a covered trailer about three weeks later.
It is a 6 speed manual transmission with the 3LT package so it has HUD, sport seats, dual climate control CD and XM radio. It also has DVD navigation and chrome wheels. The chrome wheels are OEM rims that were chromed by a corvetteforum dealer. When I purchased the car, chrome wheels were not yet available from the factory. I have the clear top but not the solid top.
I took the brake calipers off and had them powder coated by corvettepilot on the corvetteforum. At the same time I replaced the stock rotors with the Baer eradispeed+ two piece rotors (drilled and slotted). I have added chrome door handles, Lloyd mats front and rear cargo area, a partition in the rear hatch area and a body colored license plate frame.
Close to a garage queen, I drive it to work once a week or so. I have not taken it to the drag strip or auto cross. As part of the St. Pete Grand Prix in 2007, we participated in the corvette corral and had the chance to go on a couple of pace laps around the track. This was not racing as there were many cars in line and a pace car in front. Did the same thing in 2008 at Sebring. I made 4 laps during the lunch time intermission as part of the corvette corral at the nostalgia races.
I had a local Chevy dealer take care of the TSB on the "service active handling" message since I had this pop up a couple times. This TSB replaced a connector that works loose on the telescoping steering wheel. I have not had any messages since this was done more than year ago. I also had them perform the TSB which replaces the lubricant in the rear end.
The factory warranty has expired. The car has ~22,000 miles on it and I have the title in hand.

Damn Dave, if it were only Black. 
Between now and the end of the year, I'm in the market for an '06 or '07 Black, MN6, Z51, top of the line with NAV. I'm replacing my Tundra with a 2nd Vette to be my new DD. I need good gas mileage back and forth between the 2 coasts of Florida.
Nice price on yours.

I was surprised but I seem to get better mileage after the mods. I guess the added torque allows you to run a higher gear at lower RPMs. I can bump it into 6th at 65 mph instead of 70.
I'm also looking at trading my 06 Tundra for a new one. Although I am also looking at the 2010 F150 Platinum.

These are the LG Pro Long tube headers. Not the "Street" version and not the "Super Pro" I now see on the LG website. I honestly don't recall what the size is but can do some checking if you would like.
