Well, it's time for me to sell the beast, and I figured I'd start by posting the car for all of the forum members. This is Darth Vetter's heavily modified Black Z06 which I've owned for about 9 months now. I'm forced to sell because my business (Computer Programming) has been very slow lately, and I just can't keep an extra car payment.

Here's a link to the original for sale ad on the Corvette Forum:

I've got about 15,800 miles on her now, and the car is in BETTER shape than when I bought it. NO accidents of any kind. Clean CARFAX when I purchased this car. Paint has been repeatedly buffed and zainoed to where it finally looks GREAT. Brand new 02/03 style Z06 clutch installed by LPE's shop here in Dallas along with their clutch mod (the clutch works perfectly and the stock pedal effort is a welcome change from the Cartek unit). Brand new 3.42 Z06 differential with Redline Fluid. We also lowered the car a bit more, so it has a very aggressive stance. :D

Here's a list of current mods (probably forgetting something):

ROSS Lightweight FORGED Pistons with Total Seal Rings
GM Performance SCCA 'T1' Sway Bars (Red Powdercoated)
Cold-Air Intake
Air Bridge
Ported/Polished T-Body
Underdrive Pulley
Stage 3 Heads (318CFM) 2.02/1.60 Valves
Crane 1.8 Roller Rockers
Custom Comp Cam
Custom Programmed PCM (7200 RPM Rev-limit)
GM Perf. plug-wires and NGK TR55 plugs
Belanger Ceramic coated Headers
X-pipe
B&B PRT (Speedway)
COMPLETE NX Nitrous Kit including: Purge, Remote Bottle Opener, Bottle Blanket, Blow Down Tube, Nitrous and Fuel pressure Gauges in A-Pillar Mount, NX 3 Switch Arming Panel ($2000 Total Value).
New, stronger style 02/03 Z06 Clutch with LPE Clutch Mod.
Lowered, Tinted Windows

I have never used the nitrous and the NGK TR55's are still in the car (I would change to a colder plug before using the system which is currently jetted at 100 HP).

I'm located in Plano, TX, and I can either sell the car for $42,900 (my
current lease buyout), or you could assume my lease of only $599 a month
with NO money down (ALL FEES AND TAXES HAVE BEEN PAID). I put down over $3000 and paid all taxes. Buyout at the end of the lease if you chose to keep the car that long is right at $20,000. I've got around 4.5 years left on the lease and I believe this car will be worth at least $25,000 in that amount of time, so there's definitely some equity in this lease.

The lease is through Firstar (US BANK), so you'll have to have a good credit score to assume my low payments of $599 for this heavily modded beast.

Contact Ben Gratt (use my email through the Forum).
Thanks alot. :cheers:

Here are some pictures. Click on each one to enlarge. Current mileage on the car is actually 15,500 not 15,800. I will also pay all the lease transfer fees ($300) and may negotiate some extra cash for the right buyer.

Thanks,
Ben.

Ben,

Hey there.... I have a 2002 White Denali on 20's that I am trying to sell. If you still have the car when I get my SUV sold, consider it SOLD!!!!!!!

Until then, good luck with selling the car!

I personally know the seller of this car and have driven this car many times, (as well as washed it a few times!) and I can tell you that this is a great deal he is offering. The car is in great shape inside and out and it runs very strong. TTT for you :)

Good luck with selling the car Ben :cheers:

Ben,

Is there any way I could come down this weekend and check out the car? I live in OKC so it wouldnt be too far. I could bring down a cashiers check. If I gave you some money down, would you hold the car for me for a week or so? Lemme know! Thanks

Ben ... or anyone -

Can someone shoot me an estimate on what type of ET or rwhp this type of car will do? Granted, I'm new to the 'vette deal, I'd guess off the bottle...maybe 440rwhp & 550rwhp on the 100shot?

Thanks,
Jay <-looking for his first vette

Hey Ben,

Whats up buddy? I was just checkin in with ya! :cool: Saturday is a go! I cant wait to see the beast! :D After you get off will be fine, my buddy wanted to some check her out with me, and he got someone to cover for him at work, so we are good to go! He will also soon be in the market, and he has always wanted to check out this exact car! He is the major force pushing me to take this one off your hands, versus just buying any other Z-06. I just wanted to let you know that we are good to go, and we cannot wait to see her! More and more each day, it seems like I am just gonna have to take this bad motha off your hands! :cool: Anyways, we will talk to you soon!

Thanks again
TJ

Sounds great! :cheers: I'm looking forward to meeting you guys on Saturday and letting you check out the car. She's looking bad right now, too - just put another coat of Zaino on her. :cool:

I'll give you a call on Friday and give you directions. Talk to you later,

Ben.
