Hello everyone,
My name is James from Orlando, Florida. I have been looking foe quite some time at purchasing a Corvette. I use to own a few back in the 70's & 80's. I looked at c06 with 7 package and zr1. I am also looking for it already built, the right way. Basically the kinks out of it already. I am looking for around 1000 hp. I am thinking ruling out the zr1. I would like it between 2009 and 2016. Anyone selling something wort wild or any suggestions?

Welcome to the forum, James, and best wishes with your search.
You may want to check the C6 and C7 Corvettes For Sale sections to see if you can find the right Vette for you, although I'm not sure you'll find any with the 1,000hp you're looking for. Are you intending this to be a drag race only car? 1,000hp may be a little overkill for the street. If that's what you want, there are some good forum vendors who could build the engine you want.
Also, not sure the poll you have is the best way to indicate your preferences.

What are you guys thought on this car?
2015 Chevrolet Corvette 3LZ Z06 W/Z07
VIN: 1G1YT2D6XF5600890
condition: like new
cylinders: 8 cylinders
drive: rwd
fuel: gas
odometer: 8800
paint color: grey
size: compact
title status: clean
transmission: manual
type: coupe
PROCHARGED, 3LZ Z06 with Z07 package! Competition Seats! Ceramic Coating just done on car one month ago. Never raced, tracked or abused...
Stock supercharger swapped out for an F1a PROCHARGER with Tial blow off valve running 17lbs of boost on 92 pump gas puts down 850rwhp on street setup. Alky dual meth injection kit, American Racing 2" long tube heat treated headers and x-pipe with Corsa Performance sport exhaust system and 4" black tips, custom Weapon X cam and Sprint kit, DOD Delete, ARP head studs, twin disc clutch, competition seats, carbon fiber roof, carbon fiber dash trim and every option from the factory in 2015! 20" front, 21" rear custom Forgeline wheels and Pirelli tires. Rear tires are 375/25R21! NO expense spared on this build. Custom paint on the hood, front fender trim and rear of car. All mods added at 6k miles and have roughly 2k miles on them. Tune, Procharger & Alky/Meth system professionally done by LMR (Late Model Racecraft) out of Texas. Paint, wheel & tires, Procharger, etc... cost in excess of $50k to have done right! If you don't understand and appreciate that this Z06 is far from stock and not your everyday run of the mill Vette then please don't contact me. I am not desperate to sell this car. NADA book is $83k just for this car in stock form! On a Mustang Dyno it put down 850hp to the rear wheels on a safe street tune!

Jimmy - the Intros section really isn’t the place to get recommendations on which car is a good choice. You should post your questions in the appropriate General sections of the forum (I.e., C7 General, C6 General, ...).
Good luck in finding the right Corvette for you.
