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.

for more information.
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

REPRESENTATIONS OF ITS FINAL RACE APPEARANCE. PRATT

CONSTRUCTION PHOTOS, AND 1000 COPIES OF THE ORIGINAL
LE MANS HERO CARDS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS PACKAGE. EACH

MILLER. THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A SERIOUS CORVETTE
ENTHUSIAST TO OWN AND LEARN ABOUT THIS GREAT

Actually it would probably look pretty good in the museum ...
So I'll have to pass!
Now - about that ZL1!!
