There fun cars but are one of those never ending projects. Let me know if you get one I have a garage full of 240 parts we can scalp if need be, a whole engine as a matter of fact. An extra turbo so on and so on.

Should link to the ad here on tech, but here's a copy....


My PM box stays full, please reply in this post or email me at johndhelms@hotmail.com with questions, thanks!






2002 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, electron blue with black leather, 52k miles, LS3 (yes, LS3), 480rwhp / 451rwtq n/a. $24,900 firm
583rwhp / 638rwtq with nitrous (custom nitrous kit was installed and tuned by Vengeance Racing and the car was NEVER, EVER sprayed after that... not ever).





Engine / Performance
Vengeance Racing Stage III LS3 camshaft
Comp 26926 dual spring kit with Ti hardware
Comp 7.400 hardened pushrods
Comp hi performance lifters
ARP head bolt kit
Vengeance ported oil pump
Lingenfelter / Racetronix fuel pump
Second generation Lingenfelter LS3 converter box
NGK TR6 plugs
Vararam intake, ported throttle body
GM Performance Parts drilled brakes front and rear
GM Performance Parts high flow composite intake manifold





Exhaust and Trans
Dynatech 1 3/4" headers with off road x pipe
DMH dual electric cutouts
Z06 titanium exhaust
Textralia OZ700 clutch kit
Short throw shifter
Momo shift ****





Appearance
Specter Werkes C5 rear fascia
18" wheels front and rear
BFG 315/30/18 drag radials
Lowered on stock bolts
Red stitching / piping (shift boot, glove box cover)
JL Audio 10W3 sub with custom box
Custom electron blue trunk divider with Z06 badge
Corvette car cover, 20% tint
Chrome Z06 exhaust plate





Nitrous
NX wet nitrous kit
Nitrous outlet purge kit
Brand X bottle warmer -4 thermostatic
Nitrous Outlet nitrous pressure gauge -4 manifold / luminescent
Custom nitrous switch panel
Nitrous Outlet pressure fitting / blow down tube kit
Nitrous Outlet progressive nitrous controller







Details
Less than 10k miles since LS3 conversion and installation at Vengeance Racing. Nitrous kit was installed and tuned by Vengeance Racing and NEVER sprayed or turned on after that - I've had several nitrous, supercharged and turbo cars in the past; the need to spray this car just never arose.

Ron Mowen at Vengeance did a phenomenal job spec'ing out the cam for this project. There is a nice lope at idle and the car has awesome street manners. Cruising at 40mph in 6th gear produces zero lurch. Car makes just under 400rwtq below 3000 rpm and builds power progressively with a 6700rpm shutoff. The DMH cutouts totally transform the car from 'slightly tougher than stock' sounding to 'I can't hear myself think what the heck my ears are bleeding' when opened.

I drive the car everywhere with no issues, heat and A/C work great, average 15mpg city and 20+ highway (depending, of course).

Currently, the EBCM needs to be rebuilt (~$150 at www.absfixer.com), the gas gauge works intermittently, the exterior temp gauge reads 69, and the paint is typical for a 52k mile garaged but driven car. None of those things bother me but I wanted to point them out.

Selling because we recently had our second child and I'm looking for a more practical (albeit less fun) four door.

$24,900 firm

Short video showing a cold start, idle, and cold drive-ability followed by a traction limited slow shifted run through the gears on a closed private road after warming the car up. DMH cutouts were open during the video. This video was computer generated...

I love the car, the setup is perfect for me - exactly how I envisioned it for several years before getting it. Typical reasons for selling it... 2 kids, need a more practical fun car, I'll give up a good bit of performance for something with 4 doors (CTS-V, TBSS, G8, etc etc).
