I can't take c6s seriously anymore with how many niggers I've seen driving them with batman seat covers and shit but yeah however much Corvette you can afford is the best deal in sports car performance.
>>28696926I’ve never seen any niggers in them because it’s a manual-only car.
>>28696925Are you buying a late mark car in Europe?
>>28696925kek.good luck buddy
>>28696924>>28696925Around $35,000 depends on the year and miles.>>28696920Have to fix the LS7 heads first.Valve guides are an issue due to the abrasive nature of the titanium valves and the more aggressive rocker ratio compared to other LS engines.>>28696926I race with a black dude.He runs a 700rwhp Z06 on Hoosier tires.That whole family races.His younger kids talk all polite and use proper grammar.Pretty based if you ask me.
>>28696924>>28700477I've seen some for sub-$30k. As low as $25k.
>>28700483$25,000 means there's probably something like a car wreck in the history.I've seen ones with cracked engine blocks for $20K
>>28700483Same here. Recently on car trader.People are dumping things like extra cars. And wealthy people who can Afford a new Vette aren't buying these old ones.So desperate sellers only can take what they can get.Also been Seeing low mileage pristine 70s vetted for under $10k
>>28696920C6 Z06's are cool and all, but...>engine blows>$20,000 engineIf it was me, I would rather get a C6 GS or C7 GS because I would like to actually use it for track days and such.
>>28700519Just get the heads done retard.
>>28700533Ah yes of course, I forgot engines totally never just randomly kill themselves after other random miscellaneous parts break with no warning. Thank you for your insight.Seen quite a few C6 Z06's with LS3's because they blew them up and don't want to spend $20k on an engine. Simply not worth it for the extra 100hp when you could just build an LS3 to make more power for cheaper.
>>28696920It's funny how we used to take sexy looking sports cars like this for granted. Now they all look like shit.
>>28700548Sorry for assuming you were talking about the single, well known, easily fixable reason that these otherwise perfectly reliable engines die. As far as I'm aware, nobody that's gotten their heads done has had problems with their LS7. They're about as close to bulletproof as you can get, aside from the one glaring issue.
>>28700519You can get a 427 LS built for around $10,000.Or just swap the heads out.Companies like KaTech, BTR, TSP, and lingenfelter all have fresh LS7 heads ready to ship.Have a head porting job done + a camshaft, and you have a 550rwhp combo.
