Thanks man! The plan was to upgrade to a c6 zr1 but life happens and now I’ll be happy with a c6 z06 lol.
This isn't even close to being true the LS-3 had the same HP and torque numbers for both the 6 speed manual and 6 speed paddle shifter auto at 430. but if you ended up ordering the NPP/ dual mode exhaust then it added another 6 hp to 436HP from GM officially.
damn that is sexy !
Lol, man i remember pulling away from those zo6 on a regular back in the day in my terminator.
One big issue with the C5z was hydraulic clutch lock out. They had the same issue as the 11-14 5.0. They needed there hydraulic fluid changed regularly. Now if you drove it like most owners did when bought brand new then they were all old white men that never got there foot in it to know the difference.
do you know how much power the c5z can handle on stock pistons? how about 7 psi on twins
hydraulic clutch huh ? like mineral oil shit ?

This one is down to $17k. I bet it wont last long.

Not stock you didnt ..... Hell it took a bigger blower for a Terminator to beat worked over Z.
Uses brake fluid. Those vetts had separate reservoirs for brake fluid and clutch. But the clutch reservoir is too small and gets too hot causing the lock out in aggressive use. Track, backroads, Mexico runs.
Heat exhanger and K&N intake, mid pipe, cat back. I was pulling away from equal modded z06 with ease. The 03/04 z06 at least had a little more power but still 60-140 was eating them up.
Find a C5 fixed roof coupe (no targa). Basically, the Z06 body with base vette suspension, engine, etc. Extremely rare.
The C5Z had much lower production numbers compared to the later generations and as pointed out, had some really cool features. Titanium exhaust, thinner glass, etc.

02-04 had the same power which was 20 more than the 01 if i remember correctly. Head/Cam cars were NASTY AF!
This is easily fixed with Tick performance master cylinder, put one in my C5Z and never had another problem. Quite a few hydraulic setups suffer from this and in many cases the factory master isn't up to the task. However regarding the mustang it has more to do with the shitty clutch, pressure plate and flywheel. I replaced those with a twin disk and haven't had shifting issues since.
My C5Z
Damn SON! The best color on those cars is red... holy crap looks amazing.
That was the game changer was adding heads, cam and long tubes with tuning those z06 became fast. Thats when you need the whipple and KB to play.
