Greetings all,
I have been a member of LS1Tech for 4 1/2 years.
I've been looking at C5ZO6's and 2005 to 2007 C6 manual Vettes lately.
From Autotrader I found a 2003 C5Z. Went for a look and test drive.
This car has headers, exhaust, Wieland Lingenfelter intake manifold, carbon fiber cold air intake, AFR heads, slightly lowered, shortshift, hurst shiftknob and who knows what else.
I also was able to see where it had been painted around the passenger side window rubber seal... evidence of tape removal.
The car had tons of power and was a blast to drive !
Here's the ad on autotrader.
Cars for Sale: 2003 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 in Sherman Oaks, CA 91401: Coupe Details - 291888741 - AutoTrader.com
I asked the dealer where this C5Z came from.
They also told me it was a dealer trade. hmmmmmm !?

I also asked the dealer about the emissions, they told me new cats were installed in order to pass California emissions.
My thoughts about the car:
This C5Z has about 10K worth of parts.
I do like the car but I will most likely move on and look for something unmolested.
I will say it's clean and fast as hell, it's just the questionable history of this car and the long term potential headaches.
Why did I post this ? Just to see what you guys think. Opinions are welcome too. Plus I was hoping someone in the Vette community would know who might have owned that C5Z.
