Nice C7 Vette. Your ride sounds awesome. The E85 upgrade was a good one. Motor on!!

Thats funny, I want a GT500 too, but for a daily driver. I'm still a good 2 years away from that tho. Lol, oh well, hope the prices drop around 30s by then.

OP, are you planning on a Trinity GT500 or the 2012 and older? I'd love a 13 GT500, do rotor swap and wheel swap to drop the weight to around 37xxlbs.

I'm planning on a 12 and older model. From what I've been reading the Trinity GT500's are a bit at their max when it comes to creating more power on stock blower and internals.

Aside from that I'd be turning the 5.4 GT500 into more of a track animal vs a drag race machine. Something not commonly seen but i'd be completely up to take on the challenge. Looking to spend just under $30k on a sub 15k mile 07-12 GT500.

I have an 08 GT500 with about 34k miles if you are interested in working out a deal on that. I know you said lower miles but it is still low miles.

I have it listed locally for $29,500 at the moment.

^ I thought you were getting a newer GT500, like 2011-2012? After driving a C7 and the s197 5.0, i would not go to the older heavier GT500.

Thank You but it’s not the one for me. I’ve found stock sub 15k mile 07-09 GT500’s for just under $30k (asking price) on AutoTrader and Craigslist.

I was looking for White unless the deal is a steal.

GLWS!

It's all good. I know they can be had for lower, I'm just seeing if I get any hits up there.

The 11-12’s are just a little too damn much right now. That whole “Shelby” markup.

I’ll keep looking though.

Still doing those amateur hour canyon runs. Groovy.

At least the host is better.
