335 to the wheels seems awful with a tune. I know guys with intake and long tubes on a bone stock ls1 putting 355 to the wheels through a stalled auto.

Personally I would turn and run, with 162k on it and putting down 335 seems kinda low and I'm sure it's got the shit kicked out of it.

Not it sure if your stuck on a Z06 but there is a local C5 with 80k miles for around the same price.

[95albinobird]

14k is :bigmoney:for that IMO

I think the price is good if the car was healthy. Power numbers do seem low...

Whatever u choose...think it out and fight being impulsive.

i might just hold off for now the more i think about it the more i dont want it lol

The HP is right where it should be for a stock car if a dynojet was used and damn good if a mustang was used. The 01 z06 was rated at 385 at the crank.

[Not Dave]

At least you KNOW the car was used at the track and flogged, most likely. Kinda high mileage. Checking on a few sites it seems 01 Z06's routinely get 330's to 340's stock. Each dyno is different of course. Power numbers sound about right if it's bone stock. Though I think the Gen IV engines are really rugged and last a long time I think that engine has been worked a lot. In that respect if it isn't burning oil or showing any other signs of a well used engine it might still be OK. One thing I know is there are plenty of other Corvettes out there and a lot with less mileage, owned by old people that just drive them to the casino on the weekends, not to the track.

^^^^ lots of good points stated from knowledgeable guys right there, and I agree with most of it. That being said, I'd grab it and never look back, ls motors are pretty bulletproof and miles don't scare me, plus idk about where you live ( location usually reflects market value somewhat) but where the hell are u gonna find a z06 for that $$$$ Just my .02. one thing I question tho; you were dead set in love with this car and buying it, yet you wanted opinions after the fact... Why? I'm not busting your balls I'm just curious....

[popo8]

It looks like he has actually changed his mind.

[harner]

For the money, you could probably find more of a modded C5 and be happier with it. I wouldn't be afraid of the miles on the Z06, but it's not perfect and has been driven hard. There are better deals to be had. Now, if the price was negotiable well...then...money talks.

never hurts to get other opinions on something and being a college student after thinking about it. Its more than i can afford at the moment plus like a few others have said you could find a decently modded one for the same price range if not a little more

[harner]

Keep an eye on the CorvetteForum - there are always modded C5's and C6's for sale. Sometimes there are great deals. I was on there hardcore before I grabbed the 5th gen.

Just beware, when you pick up something faster than your current toy, it'll go on the back burner real quick lol.

I say wait till the c7 zo6 is out and people start trading in their c5 and c6 vettes/zo6s amd ull have an even bigger market.
