Default Is this reasonable?

Hey guys,

I've been in the LT1 scene for a little over a year now, however I've always wanted a C5. Would it be reasonable for me to pick-up a C5 LS1 M6, full bolt-ons, for 10-12k? Or am I looking at more? I know I could pick up a Camaro or T/A with an LS1 and full bolt-ons for well under 10k, but I'm not really sure about the C5.

Thanks for the info guys!

Also - I noticed some of the prices on C5's are TOTALLY out to lunch. Some people asking 20k for a STOCK early 2000's C5, you've gotta be kidding! For 20k I could build my car in to a 9 second monster

Look on ebay and auto trader to see what people are selling/asking for them.

I highly doubt you'll find a C5 for 10-12k unless it has 120k miles on it, or more.

Here's the thing, There's no way in hell I'll pay 15 grand for a bolt-on C5 when I could pick this up for 20k:


1999 Corvette Supercharged FRC 642 RWHP 569TQ 6 speed - $19950
