I grew up street racing & drag racing, but nothing beats the thrill of 25 minutes out on a road course. I was hooked after my first event at Watkins Glen in 2021. Now I'm 34 track days in and many more to come...

Yes, very likely.

fbody.com
ls1tech.com
ls1.com (and then ls2.com IIRC)

Grew up on the forums which is probably why I prefer being here over the Facebook groups.

I was wondering what everyone though I could get for my car, if I posted it for sale... is $90k in line?

General Stats:
2022 ZLE M6 with 3,500 miles +/-
Put down 750rwhp / 777rwhp (with belt slipping)
Mods in SIG + PPF + TINT + Ceramic Coating...
I have around $32,000 +/- into upgrades....

still have your car?

I freaking love it. Nice build. I would have assumed more RWHP? Am I wrong? I have access to e85 which I would use. I need to go look at your build pics, but I have done the same thing with several cars.....and am always that guy trying to sell. Doing that same thing now with my '22 C8. My market requires back to stock then try and get 50% back on parts. Also been looking at the Blackwing....been pricing them. Thats what my age says to get, but my brain says find the right ZLE...like yours. You are on my list.

It's all relative to the setup. You can do all the bolt-ons, fuel system, ported blower, more boost, and make 750whp on Ethanol. Or you can do bolt-ons, cam, stock boost, and make 750whp. Some go right to a cam for the sound. It doesn't always mean it's going to make a ton more power unless other areas of the build are addressed.

It's funny people say a bank will not finance a car over 20K book. But a dealer can take a new car or used that's stock and up the price that they want and if a bank stands a chance of making greater % they will approve. C8 Z06, Demon 170 etc all marked up.
It's your car do what you will !

As someone who swapped a 6th Gen for a CT5-V Blackwing, I can attest to make the swap and never look back.

The Blackwing is a stunning achievement. Insanely comfortable daily that also absolutely rips on Track and AutoX.

I have a M6 with Carbon Fiber 1 and Carbon Brakes. It's an amazing car. It's faster than a ZL1, slightly slower than ZLE (on track), but the trade off on daily comfort is worth it.

I both agree and HATE that its true about mods not adding value. They sure do in my book, but not in the bank's book. They do add liability to insurance policies though unfortunately. If you disclose mods like this to your insurance, they will kill you with a premium hike. If you dont, you wont get any of that money back if the car gets totaled no matter how many receipts you have.

But for a car like this, it needs a cash or 50% down buyer. One with perfect credit and cash to burn. Or you can sell it at a small premium over market value and that should be fair. But at this point I'd say $75k is about all you'll get.

I would be comfortable at $70k purchase but nothing more.
