1998 C5 Roadster...427 C5R...535rwhp...10.6@130 EDIT: I will sell this car for $26K BUT will remove all the aftermarket items EXCEPT the motor & drivetrain, and the C5R replica headlights. Basically, you are paying about 8k over a stock valued C5 vert and with that you get a PROVEN, BUILT and RARE motor setup.
Thought i would throw this out again...
98' convertible, Pewter with black interior
60K on body
5K on motor
13K on rear diff
3K on trans
everything is built with the best parts money can buy. Doug Rippie Motorsports has done the work on this car.
Drivetrain Mods:
built/forged 427ci motor using C5R block
4L65E Level V trans by FLT (Chuck built it)
Rear diff is all cryo treated shafts and 3.73 gears, Getrag housing
Motor makes 535rwhp and 520rwtq last time i dyno'd (2 yrs ago)
Exhaust:
1 7/8" Kooks headers
3" Kooks x-pipe and mid section, ceramic coated
QTP dual 3" cutouts
B&B Route 66 exhaust
Suspension:
QA1 HAL 12 way adjustable shocks
Hotchkis Sway Bars
Interior:
Caravaggio seats black with red stitching
Hyrdrographed dash, bezels, etc, (basically all removable parts)
Redline Goods leather wraps (door pull, center console, grab bars, and shift/brake boots), black with red stitching
Removable 6pt roll cage with Simpson 5pt harness
Body:
ACI chin spoiler
SW C5R replica light
Wheels:
CCW Big Streets with Michelin Pilot Sports 335r and 285f
additional road race slicks and drag slicks at extra cost
Engine:
Full carbon cover dress up kit. every possible cover in REAL carbon
Car has been road raced twice at BRainerd Int'l Raceway. I went pretty easy on it and did not push my limits since i ran on street tires. I have drag raced it a total of 14x down the 1/4 mi. best runs have been 10.6x@130. I only drive the car on nice sunny days, but i have been caught in the rain a couple times. The car is a bad *** road racer and street driver if that is what you are looking for. I have debated running nitrous on for next season, a 200 shot is easy for this motor and it would make well into the 700/800 power range and run low/mid nines! She is a blast to drive and i love it, but its time for me to move on with my life. IT would be nice to have the money so i can pay for the large rock my gf wants and the lavish wedding to go with it! :rofl:
Asking $31K obo. I don't think its overly excessive as the car literally has $65K in modifications alone. motor itself to date is $30K.
There is a LOT more to this car so if you have specific questions, let me know.

Nice car and it has a theme to go with it. You would have better luck, selling it complete, since the theme of the car goes so well together. You can always put another 75 hours into another bumper and let this one go. Hell, if your getting married, you will want something like later on, and it will give you a good excuse then to do it. Women are funny like that after a little time. Good luck and congrats

Thanks for the compliments man. Appreciate it.
Yea, if I got my asking price I would not mind letting the specific parts go. But I def don't need to sell and I am not giving it away. Know what I mean.
The woman, luckily is very understanding. She said once we get married and al is done, we can go look for another car and she'll chip in for half. Man, she's a keeper! Lol

bump... still up for grabs.
Car ran a best 10.51@133 with a 1.41 60'...
Trans and rear diff have been dropped to add a DTE diff brace as well as all new seals in trans and side seals on diff. new amsoil tranny fluid and diff fluid as well.
New steering wheel install, still retaining airbag.
so about 2K more worth of goodies put into this yr already!
