Up for grabs to an ambitious buyer who was at the right place at the right time! If you see this ad, it means the car is currently for sale, but not much longer.

This is a beast of a C5 Corvette! I built this thing to handle my lofty goals of 1000 whp. It turns out that 500+ in C5 is a LOT of power. Sure you can get a factory corvette thats pushing 600 now, but I assure you it is nothing as exciting as a C5 with a dual disc, geared, manual transmission and TC off!

I’m selling it because I’ve moved on to other hobbies and I barely drive it anymore.

It is a really fun car, but it is loud and it does draw attention. I’ve been pulled over about a million times and never got a ticket. That’s the power of the corvette. USA! BROTHER!

—--------------------

The bad: There are small scratches and rock chips on the body. The driver seat leather is cracking and split open. You’ll want new tires soon, the tread is low. There is a clear coat blemish on the back hatch door. It is an older body, so things like door seals will want to be changed at some point.

That's a heck of a start for someone for 18k. Nice.

Fairly priced. GLWS

 

Interested, still for sale? Why build the engine and trans to just run 500hp? Seems like it could easily push 650 ish with that blower.

 

I would like to come have a look at your Corvette
