Dyno Tuned @ 74k miles by Extreme Motorsports in Tempe AZ. No dyno sheet but previous owner said it was around 380rwhp. Clean carfax, no accidents, clean interior, non-smoker, runs and drives excellent. Interior is also in good shape. I recently purchased this about two months ago and I hate to sell it. It's been wonderful but everything else has been a long story with financial hardships. Plus I would like to save more money each month.
Flaws: There are a couple small things that need to be fixed on it, but nothing more expected on an 80k mile car. There are a couple of exterior scratches, of course, but the only two things I'd change about the C5 is getting the passenger mirror fixed (something about a spring in it broke) and possibly changing the rear differential. I was told by the previous owner that soon after he had a shop install the gears it started "whining," which would be about 10k miles ago. And they do get noisy above 40 mph. The receipt shows they were installed about 1.5 years ago. I was quite concerned of the gear noise when I went to buy it, but it's been 3000 miles later, performs great, and nothing has changed. If it was me I'd just take the 4.10's out and replace them with a stock diff, unless hearing the aftermarket gears is your kind of thing. Something about the backlash not set up properly along with the cuts on the aftermarket ring & pinions not being precisely accurate with the factory's cuts are the common problems with aftermarket Corvette gear whines.

I have a o3 cobra that was a uninsured theft car, clean title, 30k on the title and ticker, that needs a few things but would make for a good deal if you know how to work on cars.

it is a very nice truck!
you honestly would NEVER guess the mileage, by the way it drives or looks.. it is a VERY clean truck..
if it were me id take it and 5 grand! then turn around and buy a cheap ls1 camaro strip it and put a cam and shot in it!
