The entire hood is carbon fiber and is supposed to be about 20lbs lighter than other C5 models. They also had suspension tuning that differed from other C5 Z06s. Mine has long tubes headers, a C6 H pipe, 160* thermostat, and a tune. On the dyno it was 380 hp to the rear wheels the dyno operator said probably about 450 hp at the crank.

I need to research what the current pricing is on them but I'm thinking in the area of $25,000.00
I’d pay you cash if our funds weren’t tied into a (now-postponed) European family vacay.

I checked and you can, I would go that route. I also saw that you guys also have Tele-serv or similar. It is worth the wait if you can get everything squared away.

You can also do that off hours, real early usually works well 5 AM.

Good price area. They were not limited. Just made the 2025. It was the most for 2004 color wise I think if memory serves. I have a buddy that had one. He sold his a couple years ago. That was a nice buy. He only had like 3,000 miles on his.
I won't put the originals back on cause I can't fit the wider tires on the rears. The repos are 11.5 inches wide and fit just right in the wheel wells with the 325s. The original sized tires break loose too easily. If I were to sell, the original wheels could go with it. I might have to consider the value of those as well. I've seen the original polished aluminum Z06 wheels go for $1000. If you see chrome C5 Z06 rims they are not original to the 2004 CE Z06s. Also all CEs are LeMans blue.

So your claim is they did all of that shit to you because you rented to non-white tenants?

I wouldn't state it that way, because none of what I described above was done to "me" specifically, it was done to ALL landlords in the town.

I believe the town views rentals as an entry point for "undesirables" to move into town. Since multi-family living spaces are just about 100% used in some fashion for rentals (the guy I bought it from was living in one unit, and renting out the other two), they are targeting multi-family owners in an effort to either drive them out of town, or force them to convert their properties to single family buildings.

When they change the zoning in town to make it illegal to build a multi-family unit anywhere in town, and chase EVERY landlord that owns one, their intent is pretty clear that they see multi-family housing units as undesirable.

Also, a lot of things were said in the course of 14 years that made it pretty clear what was on their minds, like that for example, 4 or 5 brown-skinned kids playing soccer in the street was a "problem".

Believe me, when I first met with my new lawyer, and she saw the address of my property, she gave me her opinion of what was going on there, and it matched perfectly with mine.
