Buy mine so I can buy a c6z



I didn't like the stock one I drove. I was rather disappointed. Maybe I hyped it up too much in my head comparing it to a C5. It's a great car but something just feels right about the C5Z.

I wouldn't be looking at a stock one. I want either a heads/cam or blower car. That or one thats a good enough deal without that it doesn't matter. What I want to do to my C5 would cost way too much and at the end of the day the car wouldn't be worth much more. We'll see what I can find. I need to look within Canada because of how bad our dollar is, but I'm trying to sell mine in the USA because it works the other way.

My impression had everything to do with the way the car felt and the driving experience. The power was great for a stock car. It doesn't fit me or vice versa. Good luck with your search!

Active handling error?


It's some BS with the battery that locks the steering column.

My bro has a 03 z06 in the garage and dyno'd at 385.

Good price and they do look pretty mean in person.

One of my friends has a twin to that car. His is a Mallet with a 402ci LS2 though. I love the roofline and rear end on the C5 frc. It is timeless.

I like them in person, pictures are kinda meh to me with the C5. He's thinking about doing a tigershark rear bumper as the driver side has hairline spider webbing on the rear bumper.

Well, he keeps it on a tender so it doesn't happen. But yeah I've heard some pretty bad stories about that too.

Friends don't let friends mod their C5 body unless it's widebody fenders.

Tigershark is fine imo. Other than that nothing really works.
