01 Torch Red Coupe - 11.68 @ 118mph / 387 rwhp
Mint, Perfectly streetable 2001 Torch Red Chevrolet Corvette
The Price is $23,900 OBO. KBB lists this car, in stock condition, to be worth $23,440 (private party value). Paying an extra $460 gets you almost $14,000 in work done, not to mention the dealership installed new engine! Wouldn't that be much better than buying a stock Vette, and using the $460 to buy drag radials for the rear wheels???
I just ran a search on Auto Trader for 2001's under 60,000 miles within 500 miles of my location and only 1 was cheaper!
- 54k miles, but brand new engine from the dealership with about 39k miles
- HUD, Power everything, etc.
- Black leather interior and removable glass top
- People say it looks like a 2004 - always garage kept
- Appearance is stock, and is a complete sleeper!
- Almost $14,000 in work done - All mods have about 8k miles on them.
- Only dynoed once and only taken to the track once!
- All mods professionally done at Thunder Racing
- Has run 11.6 @ 118mph on 1.7 60ft
- Dynoed at 387rwhp (around 485hp at the crank)
- Have all receipts, drag slip and dyno sheet
- Nitrous has NEVER touched this car, ever! A truly pampered Corvette!
Modifications
- Dealership Installed LS1 Motor
- Thunder Racing Stage II Built A4 Transmission
- TRaK Cam
- Supporting Pushrods & Springs
- Transmission Cooler & Shift Kit
- Blackwing Kit
- Underdrive Pulley
- Long Tube Headers
- High flow cats
- Borla stinger exhaust system
- Vigilante 3200 Stall Converter
- 3.73 Gears
- 305 Nitto Drag Radials out back

you know me oh so well, Bryan! I think I'm going to retire from cars for a bit. It just gets to me after a while of making payments on a car that just sits in the garage, other than driving 10 miles a week!
