It was built to be a rock solid daily driver and track day car. The new engine and drivetrain is just broken in, running fantastic. I will have exact dyno numbers soon (very soon if there's interest), but it should be a good bit over 500rwhp and around 500rwtq. I put a lot of time and money into the car, especially this past winter, and was looking forward to enjoying it, but the wife is looking at a career change, and this would facilitate her taking time off to study for a while.

Will post a video or two after work. Many of these pictures are from last summer, prior to the drivetrain rebuild, but still accurate exterior-wise other than being a little lower.
Car is located near Minneapolis, MN
The car has been stored in heated storage each winter with a cover on (cover is included).
Flaws: Remainder of a somewhat deep 2" scratch on the hood that was 95% fixed with wet sanding and buffing, but a small part of what it once was is still noticeable at the right angle. A couple scratches on the clear top, one from bumping the roof into the garage ceiling when taking it off (doh!). Typical orange peel GM paint like any other factory GM painted vette. Normal leather seat wear, passenger seat is perfect, driver's seat is certainly used, but no rips, tears, anything like that. Rest of the interior is flawless.
Price: $32,000 or best offer ($500 less without the C5Z wheels w/ slicks, I have some local interest in those). I just added it all up, and being conservative, the car has at least $19,600 in upgrades, most of which have 1200 miles or less, and were done RIGHT.
Questions? Ask away!
VIN available upon request, car has a 100% clean history. I am the 2nd owner, bought w/ low miles from a dealer (original owner traded in on an Audi S6).

Here are some pictures from just before it was wrapped up this winter, and below are some more parts/miscellaneous photos from the build this winter that might interest people.
