I purchased this car back off a buddy in Houston, so the car is currently there but i’ll have it in Detroit in a month or so. 1997 C5 Targa Top LG long tube headers, catless xpipe borla mufflers no tips 3200 stall, low mileage trans (original broke input shaft) Body and engine have like 160K miles, but runs great No abs or traction control, the abs block failed and the brake lines were re-done without ABS. Has adjustable bias and line lock. IE burnout machine. Nice black interior She is slammed Text me if you want it 248-3oh3-97two9. I might be willing to trade it for a GTO or TBSS or guns or gold or silver or something cool. Do not want body parts, wives, or children. ---

Probably true. Suppose if you wait 10-15 minutes a Mustang is sure to slide in and wipe them both out. ---

I honestly don’t expect to sell this or really care. I’ll keep it for an amazing summer daily and burnout machine. If it sells it sells, trying to pass along a good deal. > [@1QIKZ](#): > > What are the chances a Vette and Viper owner park next to each other… and both are handicapped? It was at a car show, but LoL. The viper and corvette clubs are mostly geriatrics. The dash and buttons should be huge lol. Also has C6 Z06 Shocks, ac works sometimes, newer water pump, newer brakes ---

Bump, put about 400 miles on this last week in Houston, drives great. Stall is a little tighter than I thought, probably more like a 2600-2800 stall. No one wants a fun cheap toy? 🙂 [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/1997-corvette/274197.md?page=2)
