Thanks for all great remarks. I'm glad to see it being appreciated. I'd like to offer for the out of state people interested that I will pay half the shipping to the buyer in the lower 48 states. I've sent my Z06 to Detroit twice for mods and that was around $1,800 for a reputable covered hauler.

I'm pretty well known in the Z06 section and consider myself an ethical businessman. The car is exactly what I said it is. Never raced or seen a track of any kind. Always babyed and never abused. I can list several forum members here that I have personally known for many years as references if needed.

I hope his helps,

Tommy Marquez

The heads are AFR 205 "Mongoose" complete set from AFR.

Its a fairly mild cam, not much lope but let me look at the cam specs again. I remember right, it is a 224/228. You'll have to seek the lobe and duration from CompCam.

The car pulled 425rwhp and 397rwtq on a Mustang chassis dyno.

I have been looking for a Z06 but your car but your car seems to have similar power. How would you compare your C5 to a C5 Z06 with no mods.

Thanks for the question.

The car is much more powerful that a stock C5Z. (425 rear wheel hp and 397 rear wheel tq) Swap the springs and shocks for the Z's and it's a Z-Spanker!

It has an incredible sound when romped, turns lots of heads. Crap... now I'm starting to miss it.

Here's a pic of the new tires ($1,240 for these tires. I could have put some cheapers on it, but I want the buyer to be completely happy with the purchase.) I had these put on a few weeks ago sans the tire pressure sensors. I literally drove the car from the tire shop to my garage, less than 5 miles and it hasn't moved since.
