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.

<br />Yes, driven on the street occasionally, but also looking for track speed. I have been looking & found a few. One in Miami and he wants 100k, a little too much. I know there is one out there for a good number.<br />Hopefully someone has a car I am looking for or I'll keep searching.<br />Thanks for the help.

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, ...).
