I love the car and hate to do it, but I've got a job/housing opportunity in the city starting in July that I really cant pass up. I wish I could keep the car but the car is too clean to have in the city; I already am having nightmares about parking on the street and getting hit/bumped while other people try to park infront/behind me. I'd rather sell it to someone who will keep it clean and appreciate it, than keep it and be paranoid 24/7.

'07 Thunder Gray (they only made 100 of them in this color), LS2, T-56

I bought the car last October with 50k miles, completely stock with the exception of tint, CAGS delete, resonator delete and flowmaster mufflers. The previous owner always had the car garage kept, and I have had it garage kept 50% of the time. It has never been in snow or on salted roads. The previous owner did oil changes every 3,000 miles and I have done the same.

The car now has 55,700 miles on it (I'm currently on a road trip with it in NC, so mileage will change) and has zero issues. Since I've owned it, I have installed an azn2dmax shifter with a hardbar knob, some corvette "Jake" overlays, and carbon fiber overlays for the V emblems, and plasti-dipped the front grills. The stock rims have ZERO curb rash.

Imperfections:
-It does have the normal wear on the radio buttons (I will replace them if that is a deal breaker for the buyer)
-It does have a couple rock chips on the front of the car (I will get detailed pics)

Parts I have purchased but not installed:
1 3/4" B&B long tube headers
B&B hi-flow cats
B&B off-road connector pipes (if you decide not to run cats)
B&B full 3" catback with resonator
Rev-shift Diff Bushings
Rev-shift Trailing Arm Bushings
Rev-shift Rear Cradle Bushings
USA SPEC PA15-VETTE
Creative Steel front license plate mount

I'm currently out of town, but I will get some detailed pics of the car this week.

Since I have to post a price, I'm asking $24.5K obo for the car without the extra parts (I would sell them separately). Whoever buys the car gets first dibs on the extra parts, and I will negotiate a deal for the parts they want. I do have a note on the car with my credit union, so they have the title.

here are a couple quick pics that I have on my computer:

Like I said, I will get detailed pics of everything this week.

there were a couple ppl who asked about gas mileage. On the highway I've gotten 24-26mpg at 70mph. City is usually 15-16mpg.



Also, the car has never been to the track and the clutch has never been dumped. it has been babied.

Love the thunder grey. Good luck with your sale. Does it come with the tow hitch?

thanks for the kind words.

haha nope no trailer hitch, but you can buy one easy enough. If that was a deal breaker I'd buy one for the buyer and install it. IMO you should use a truck to tow stuff, not your sports sedan:rolling:

I was just making jokes. They (people on the ctsv boards) joke that 06-07 Vs should have a tow hitch since they have a truck motor. (Ls2 also being in the SSR and trailblazer ss) It is silly but I thought you would get a laugh.

I have an 05 in stealth grey So I frequent their boards often.

haha yea the good old truck motor. It certainly has the torque haha. I test drove a LS6 V before I bought this one since I had never driven one before and I thought I could tell a slight difference in the power band and the LS2 having some more low-end torque.

You probably need a Thunder grey one to go with your Stealth grey V. That would be a cool combo to own :beer:

I'm confident that anybody who comes see the car in person and takes it for a drive will not be able to leave without taking it with them. The color is amazing in person, the pictures don't do it justice.

LOL I mentioned it to my SO she was on board for it. But then I told her she would have to pay for it. She decided to stick to her stratus.


I am not sure the TQ differences but I know if I am under 5000 RPM the LS6 is very lackluster. Get it above 5000 and it is a total different animal.

Good luck with your sale.
