Torch Red Corvette Street / Track / 32 MPG - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I am selling my beautiful Torch Red 2000 Corvette.

This car has been great to drive but I must let it go to afford a new CNC machine for my business. I purchased the car about 6 months ago from a Lawyer who was the original owner. He used the car to commute 100 miles each day. The car was completely stock when I purchased it. It even still had the original clutch!

My intentions for this car were to act as a daily driver and a car that could be driven to the track, perform on the track, and then be driven home. All while maintaining the corvette famed 30+ MPG on the freeway. I own a shop in Campbell called Blu808.com. At Blu808 we modify Corvettes, camaros, and other cars for racing. We also have a C6 which is a full out race car. It is often a hassle to trailer the race car out to all the events that my friends attend, so naturally this was an ideal car for the job.

Since then the car has been modified with the best components money can buy. It has been tastefully outfitted to maintain reliability and streetability.

Modifications:

Engine:
Tuned by LG Motorsports with HP Tuners
LG Motorsports Super air intake system
LG Motorsports Super Pro long tube header system
LG Motorsports High flow cats
LG Motorsports 02 sensor extensions
LG Motorsports Stainless steel X pipe
Titanium rear muffler system (quiet while cruising)
New belt tensioner
New Idler pulley
New belts
New AC Pump
Low mileage water pump
New Power Steering pump (not installed yet)
New spark plug wires
New spark plugs
Low mileage rocker arms

Drivetrain:
Exedy GT04XD Twin Disc Clutch (this is a $2,200 clutch + install. A bit jumpy on the street but perfect for the track)
GM Z06 differential clutch plates and cone springs
New wheel bearings all around

Suspension:
PFADT new generation fully adjustable coilovers
PFADT Performance bushing kit with machined aluminum inserts
LG Motorsports Heim joint end links
Blu808 Bump steer kit front and rear with heim joint tie rod system
Moog Ball joints all around

Wheels/Tires:
C6 Z06reps wheels 18'' front 19'' rear
Hankook 285-30-18 R-S3 tires front
Hankook 305-30-19 R-S3 tires rear

Brakes:
C6 rotors
Hawk HPS brake pads

In addition all stock parts will be included, along with the stock wheels, headers, cats, ect.
I have personally taken this car to 2 track days. The first being one at Buttonwillow on CW13 configuration where it ran 1:59 lap times. Then up at Thunderhill where it ran 2:02 lap times. It performed great with no problems, and the grip this car has is truly amazing. It is a higher mileage car, but as you can see, most items have been replaced. There is no blow by, smoke, or oil consumption. This thing runs great and often gets over 33 MPG on the freeway. It turns heads everywhere I go and never has a problem roasting the tires. The interior is Black leather, with little to no wear showing. A non smoker car, it smells great! It has a removable targa top for sunny days, and even has Satellite radio and a CD changer. The AC blows ice cold, and the heater works great as well.

Feel free to contact me today to take a look at this great Corvette in person.
