Default new C5 Z owner!!!

Went and bought a beautiful black Corvette tonight

http://bham.craigslist.org/cto/3029519875.html

Man this thing is amazing. NOTHING like my canned '00 SS or '04 GTO. It sounds awesome.. pulls like a freight train, and I only paid $12,100!


Oh look at the pics and tell me if anyone recognizes the exhaust tips as to what catback it may be? The ad sais corsa but they are definitely not corsa tips. There are no muffler in the back where they should be.. but it is in fact a catback, not a hack job straight pipe setup. Its loud! But the tips are butt ugly. Anyone have any idea?


And did I mention I only paid $12,100???

Its black, black leather. Stock wheels, new bfg kdw rear tires, catback, and that's about it. Exterior is a 9/10.. almost perfect besides a few tiny rock chips. Interior is a 7/10. Missing the reflector on the passenger door panel, and needs another panel under the steering wheels. Other than that beautiful. Ill post up pics tomorrow

Mileage? I'd expect it to have come with a salvage title and 200K for that price... Cheapest one I've ever heard of.

It has right at 127,500... and nope its a clean title with a clean carfax! Yeah it was by far the cheapest I've ever seen too. The guy advertised it for $13,700 which I thought was awesome.. but I ended up getting him down to $12,100. He had his eye on a Harley and I had cash, so I took off from Atlanta to Birmingham to get it

Do you mean the knee bolster under the steering wheel? If so I have a mint black one I'll sell you. Let me know if interested.

"slammedc5" ... I am thinking that is morning dew on the roof and trunk lid.
