No kidding? Wow, I have heard nightmare stories about TCI stuff. I still think the car is pretty nice and a few things done to the car would really make it worth more, like cleaning up the engine bay, but I'm not going to bash the car, it's not bad IMHO. Where did you come up with the $82k, the owner?

seems high. No LS7 (Z06 reference), no mi nitub, no real trick suspension/brakes. very nice car but a bit overpriced in my opinion, but it's a dealer so they need their cut.

It says is near the end of the description..

I don't see that much wrong with it, Some stuff I would do differently. Over all the car presents well. The stance is great, the wheels flow with the car well and the color is nice.

I don't see it bringing that much $$$$$ though.. but I've been wrong before.

Not to get anyone fired up. But the fit and finish on that car looks cheap to me, There are some good parts and money spent but the overall car does not fit the bill by any means to me. Lacking some tactfull taste especially in the interior.

Somebody might pay $50... but definately not me. The floor pan is more beat up than your last girlfriend.

I see that the Z06 reference was toward the C5 Z... not the C6 Z.

I agree that it could be worth it with not much else done to it. The interior is hurting it, especially the center part of the dash is pretty cheap looking. I think they would have been way better off painting the underneath trim black. If your not going to smooth off the floors better than they did, you shouldn't paint it body color, IMO. There's definately some time and money invested. I think 80K is in the realm of possibility, although it probably won't bring quite that much. However, I hope it does for all our sake!

Yeah I doubt it will get that, might get 60, but that's about it. I didn't see the where it said the price they wanted. I don't think they will get it.

To me this car is a great set of parts for a build project, Take pic number one look at the hood fit, High crown in the center and down on the sides, Body guy should have blocked the sides up and pushed it down. Pic number two shows a horable fit on the hidden headlights, and the high quality of import bumpers. Pic number three shows a better shot of how bad the hood and headlights doors fit. Pic number four really shows the crown in the hood. Pic number five really look at that door to fender gap. Pic number six shows it even better, Also notice how it sags and the line goes away at the rocker. Pic number eight shows more bad fit. OK Pic nine and ten show more bad fit finish look at deck lid color does not match also spoiler fit. I dont even know what number I am at but look at the interior we have some nice parts then we have some bad real bad. Imagine what we cant see.. The problem I see with this car is a prime example of internet sales and trying to pull prices based off quality cars, This car looks slamed to me for money I see no quality work on this car just parts and slamed I'd like to ask Frank what he thinks. I dont want anyone upset but you can get a quality car and this is not it.
