Good afternoon, fellow Camaro Enthusiasts!
OK......so you say the LT1 isn't fast enough for you? And the LS1 could use some more power? And the LS6 isn't quite what you had in mind? ( And I won't sell you the 302 Camaro or the ZL1?)
Well -- look no further, my friends........................
..............................................................................have we got a deal for you:
Chevrolet officially returned to American road racing in 1999 with the introduction of the C5-R, a GM-engineered GTS sports car based on the production Corvette. The first C5-R, chassis #001, competed in select sports car races in the U.S. during the 1999 season. This car has since been retired...
>>and now is your chance to own the very first Corvette C5-R produced!
Chassis #001 is a complete race car ready for the track or showroom. This collector item will be auctioned during the eBayMotors Pacific Classic in Santa Clara, California, Sunday October 28th.
ORVETTE C5.R, CHASSIS #001 IS THE FIRST FACTORY DESIGNED, BUILT AND FINANCED CORVETTE EVER RACED IN THE VEHICLE'S 49 YEAR HISTORY. IT HAS BEEN MAINTAINED IN THE EXACT CONDITION AND CONFIGURATION AS IT LAST RACED AT LE MANS IN 2000. THE ENGINE AND ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ARE PART OF THE SAME SERIAL NUMBERED GROUP RACED AT THE LE MANS EVENT. ALL GRAPHICS ARE ACCURATE REPRESENTATIONS OF ITS FINAL RACE APPEARANCE. PRATT AND MILLER ENGINEERING, UTILIZING THE SAME PERSONNEL WHO ORIGINALLY BUILT THE CAR, HAS PERFORMED ALL MAINTENANCE WORK. THIS VEHICLE IS ARGUABLY THE MOST SIGNIFICANT EXAMPLE OF CORVETTE RACING HISTORY IN EXISTENCE. ALL FACTORY RECORDS INCLUDING ENTRY FORMS, PRACTICE AND RACE SET UP DATA SHEETS, HISTORIC CONSTRUCTION PHOTOS, AND 1000 COPIES OF THE ORIGINAL LE MANS HERO CARDS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS PACKAGE. EACH PERSON WHO HELPED DESIGN AND BUILD THIS VEHICLE IS STILL IN THE EMPLOY OF GENERAL MOTORS AND PRATT AND MILLER. THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A SERIOUS CORVETTE ENTHUSIAST TO OWN AND LEARN ABOUT THIS GREAT AMERICAN RACING ICON. SOLD ON BILL OF SALE.

Don't suppose they'd do an even trade for my soon to be classic '99 Camaro SS? I'd even pay for transportation. Posts: 2359 | From: Waterloo, Ontario, Canada | Registered: Jul 2001
