nvr gets old dreaming about that car. I keep saying maybe if I sold my house and moved into an apartment I could buy it. then I snap out of it....
Still available, I haven`t really pushed the sale, it`s been sitting in the back of the garage waiting for spring... Muscle Car Nationals (Chicago) last year Functional Carbon Fiber Hood Or someone to buy it...
That is absolutely beautiful !!! Very nice job. Bet that has surprised a few people on the street... Bryan
It hasn`t been on a dyno. I didn`t build the car, after getting aggravated doing a few myself taking years to complete, I figured I`d buy one already done and save a few more hairs on my head. I flew down to Florida, saw the craftsmanship and drove it home The guy I purchased the car from did a similar build with smaller turbos and a less aggressive cam and it put out over 1000RWHP. With the progressive injection you`re basically always on a street tune:biggrin: problem is I just don`t have the time to drive it :frown: Look at the parts list and figure out the cost of the engine build alone, it`s bullit proof and the work was done by one of the best performance shops down in Florida, Oh yea...It has A/C too :wink:
I will say your C5 is the ultimate one per your specs and prolly cost over $80k to duplicate, nice toy and GLWS. Post it @ the Corvette Forum.com that's where i found my two C5s. Get it dynoed with good photos and start a little higher on your price there's always hardcore enthusiast lookin for somethin you have. Horsepower!!!
Very nice! Good luck with the sale. Just sold my Z06, but mine was stock. Man I'm going to miss that car.
