Will trade my MTI C5R 427 Z07 Vert for the right STOCK C5! Plus cash depending on what your car is, etc. I will consider any color, make or model except yellow coupes (no flames intended), M6 or A4, etc, and the lower the mileage, the cleaner the car, and the most recent models will be given preference. I do not want to trade for another modded car as they are tuffer to sell than stock and will accept basic bolt ons such as exhaust and air intake, wheels, but not much more, etc.
This is a KILLER OPPURTUNITY to put yourself in an AWESOME 10 sec someting realiable MTI built, tuned and installed 427 Z07 which is a COMPLETE GAS TO DRIVE and has brand new rebuilt FLP Level 5 tranny (Chucks latest and greatest tranny, with HARD HITTING 4000 Yank Prothruster converter) which act like a 3000 stall converter b/c of the extra vacum made by the big motor and cam, etc. VERY STREETABLE and has been used by me 99.9 percent as a weekend TOY/PASSION and car show and MAN does it CAUSE a HUGE WOW EFFECT at car shows, especially when i pull up with the qtp elec. exhaust dumps open!!!
HERE IS MORE INFO from my other thread where i am also seeking a cash price for $35 FIRM, which is my preference!!!:
Here are the only posted pics that i have that were taken one month ago!! http://home.comcast.net/~philcyr/427c5/index.html
The ccws on the car have been sold and the car will come with the black z06 size rims powder coated all black shown in my sig. The rear tires are newer nitto 315 drag radials and great condition pilot sports in front. The road race bar that goes into the passenger seat from the main hoop removes with two bolts.
I agree with PACETHIS comment above, that somebody who can do there own work (i can't as i am no mechanic) can sell the motor and tranny and other mods for around 20K and return the car back to stock and sell the car stock for another 20 to $22K and make some money here by parting the car out for the price of $35K that i am willing to sell it for. One can make an easy $5K to $7K in my opinion by parting the car out, returning it back to stock and put a low mile LS1/6 junk yard motor from a wrech in the car and i don't have the time or $ to do this as i can't do any of my own wrenching, etc
The car has been down the 1/4 mile exactly ONE TIME and with me babying it out of the hole and then stabbing it she went 11.03 at 123.5 mph all motor right off the trailor! What kills me is that on that one and only time run at an IHRA track, i forget to open up my exhaust dumps where the car makes an extra 8rwhp and 10tq and most likely would of gotten my a 10.98 time slip but was being rushed when getting ready to stage and that is truly frustrating to me!! On July 31,2004, a vette guys dad owned a local airport and he setup a christmas tree with not time slips and the beast made exactly 4 passes down an airport runway where 1320 feet was marked off. I no doubt was crowned DRAG RACE KING for that day as i destroyed a mid 11 procharged car buy about 20 car lengths and was of course undefeated and then finally matched up with my buddys bad azz tricked out LS1 camaro that runs a best of 11.11 and consistent 11.4s at the track and he was DESTROYING all the vettes he ran up against and was undeafter until the final championship grudge race of the day when he match up with my 427 MTI Z07 Vert.
I walked the beast out of the hole with drag radials and at about the 30 ft marked i stabbed it and beat him by about 8 car lengths. DESTROYED the Tricked out LS1 camaro that was kicking every other VETTES AS S THAT DAY This Car is a solid 10 sec. something N/A street driven Vette and is truly BAD TO THE BONE and has never stranded me on the streets our highway with this MTI built motor built by one of their top engine builders-Lloyd!! This car is MTI true Z07 package and has Z07 badging on the fender like the Z06 badge and blows people minds on the street and at car shows when they hear this monster (especially with the elec. exhaust dumps open) and they ask me WHAT THE HECK IS A Z07!!!!!!!!!! Man, i may talk myself out of selling my BABY if i keep up this long post, etc!!!
The guys at MTI (Wayne, Rick, Lloyd (engine builder) and owner Jayson can tell you all about this beast and verify that is has a brand new $6,400 C5R block and i have never put any spray or other f/i through this motor and it has pretty much been babied and oil changed after every 1500 miles and of course after the first 500 miles on the new engine that was built by MTI at MTI and installed and tuned at MTI in Sept. of 2003.
The FLP LEVEL 5 refreshended tranny with brand new case and cryoed output/tail shaft just went in the car this past week and CHUCK JOHNSON and DAN BILLS of FLP also know the car well and can verify the the tranny rebuild that CHUCK just did. For those who don't know Chuck Johnson of FLP has the reputation of building one of the best top notch A4 racing trannys in the business and my tranny has all of his latest and greatest upgrades and his top dog LEVEL 5 tranny. The rear end is a getrag 3.73 built ring and pinion reset up by one of the best in the business/RODNEY aka Crashed 94 on the forum, and he reset the 3.73 gears in a stock 3.15 case that only had 7K pampered miles on it. The rear end DOES NOT have any hardened outptut/input shafts inside and those are stock.
My local Chicago mechanics POWER HOUSE PERFORMANCE in ORLAND PARK, IL, can also tell you how i have meticulously maintained this baby and they just reinstalled the rebuilt level 5 FLP tranny back into the car 2 days ago. The YANK PROTHRUSTER 4000 stall converter hits like a TON OF BRICKS and this car launches like a rocket and will smoke et streets from a standstill on regular roadways for 50 yards . Its like a h/c motor on N20 FULL TIME when you stab this BIATCHH and the low end torque just crusing around town and on the freeways is awsome and this car IS A BLAST TO DRIVE!!!!
Sorry about the long post but you C5 MOTORHEADS out there JUST DON"T KNOW WHAT YOUR MISSING HERE!!!!!!!!!! Somebody is going to get a KILLER CAR at a KILLER PRICE and this baby is not going to last at this final price of $35K!!!!!

WHat color is the coupe, stick or A4 and how many miles! Make me an offer of the most $ you would be willing to trade for each car and getting the cars shipped to HAWAII would be a big expense and headache i would imagine! 
ANYWAYS, here are my latest thoughts:
After doing alot of soul searching at this point I'm seriously considering just keeping the CAR and if i get MY PRICE in the spring/summer that i think the car is really worth ($40,000), then maybe i'll sell it then, but it was always built by me with the intention that i would die still owning it and it would be inherited by my hiers and the more i think about it the more i'm leaning towards JUST keeping it and taking it off the market, unless I was made a VERY FAIR OFFER!! I mean where else can you get a modern style corvette convertible that will BITCH SLAP the new C6 C6 Z06 coming out, in straight line (EMPHASIS ON STRAIGHT LINE PERFORMANCE) from 0 to 140 MPH, all while getting a suntan with the TOP OFF!!!

GUYS, if you are serious about making a deal shoot me an IM or email with your top dollar offer and description of what type of C5 your willing to trade, but again, as my post above states, i am leaning towards probably keeping my car, until the right used C6 Z06 comes ALONG!!!
