Corvette C5R for sale

[TheSearcher]

Two questions -

Do they take plastic?

Will they gift wrap?

Will they gift wrap?

Yes, the car comes wrapped in fiberglass and carbon fiber.

I can't believe you guys don't like this! this spoiler looks REALLY hot to me.

I wouldn't throw the lime green C5R out of the garage either, but I prefer yellow.

Ok so its gonna take 2"+ lift and 4"+ reach to put anything in the trunk with out scratching anything. Then you have to look at the Z06 rear brake ducks, real or pasties? Then you have what looks to be Z06 badges on the front fenders. I have seen one Z06 vert conversion so thats not out of the ? but... I guess I would have to see the "wing" in person before I pass my final judgment but so far, "not on my car"

I'd guess it's probably a real Z that has been chopped. Otherwise, having the front fender label on there would be pretty embarrassing if there really wasn't a Z engine under the hood. However, it is an interesting conflict of interest if the owner thinks the front & rear spoilers (yes, it has the matching front spoiler too) will add in the performance area. What's the conflict? Well, the Z was never a vert because they wanted to maintain the torsional rigidity that comes with a fixed roof.

Actually I've had this discussion several times with the Corvette Engineers as well as Dave Hill at Carlisile. The convetibles can be made plenty stiff enough for Z06 performance. The isssue is more about limiting the number of models in an effort to keep costs & prices down (more volume to fewer models). In the end I took mine to Lingenfelter and they stiffened it up and made it faster than a C5 Z06. Without the use of rear brake pasties.:L

But I wouldn't buy it either. I could never buy a car with a stupid ricer wing put on it!

Yeah I photoshoped this car with almost no decals and no wing and it doesnt look like a race car....now street car, that would be a hot piece!


original:

My version:

the bottom one reminds me of a junyard car as far as the doors not matching up decal wise (black strip and all)...what do you guys think of it? would you drive it?

It looks dirty, but with a nice cleaning, sure! Just like the green one, it might not be the most aesthetically pleasing, but it'll smoke your car! :L
Now, to just figure out where to put that damned front license plate! :L

:eek
I Agree! Wow!

To employ the sort of colorful metaphor Remo's been making fashionable lately, it looks like some wild animal that been caged in a dungeon for everyone's safety. Wow, I like the way that looks!

Cool video! What transmissions are those cars using? The shifts are just...just ...WOW...incredibly fast! LIGHTNING FAST!

And that little yellow VW(?)..that little guy was just cutting through the pack like the proverbial hot knife through butter.
