Sweet...The '07s might be a steal right now as rumors are the '08s will have the LS7 Heads from the Z06 and bump the base to 435-450HP. If your looking for some easy mods, I would start with an Air Induction Kit (Vortex, Vararam, Callaway, LPE) and Exhaust (my favorite is Corsa) and maybe a short shifter, Cags eliminator and LS2 Edit for starters. Congrats

Agreed. I had a triple black 1996 gymkarna package Vette. The build quality was negative 5 and even when it was not going fast on the highway it sounded very fast (noisy as hell). The new ones I believe, much improved.

The lousy "skip shift" mechanism MUST be disabled or else it will bug you like crazy. Mine actually crunch the gearbox before I installed the after market kit. At 300 bhp it beat the crap out of lesser BMW 540is and 911s.

Whatever you do try not to have an accident. A Vette is not a Mercedes. The body is brittle.

Im sorry, I forgot to mention, this is a 2005 model. There were some mods done already, Vararam ram air, Corsa exaust, and a custom tune (w skip shift already taken out).

This car was owned by my best friend in LA and it was his 4th vette. He just picked up a Z06, so he let me buy this out from him for a steal.

AHHHHH... an 0hhhhh 5 Vette... LOVE IT. I happen to have a 7 ohhhh. Nice color combo. How does it ride? I have yet to drive one and I am told night and day over the C5.


I think Kerbeck is still selling the stripped 2007 Vettes right around $40K...
