What’s special about this listing

According to the seller, this 2002 Chevrolet Corvette is a thoughtfully modified C5 that transforms an already capable platform into a serious street machine. The C5 generation—produced from 1997 to 2004—represented a clean-sheet redesign for Chevrolet's flagship sports car, introducing a rigid chassis, near-perfect weight distribution, and the legendary LS V8 architecture. The seller notes this three-owner example has been enhanced with a carefully selected list of upgrades designed to maximize both performance and drivability.

Under the hood, the seller states that a GM C5 Z06 crate engine was installed approximately 10,000 miles ago and is force-fed by a Magna-Charger supercharger producing roughly 7.5 pounds of boost. Supporting modifications reportedly include TPIS headers, a Corsa Touring exhaust system, and an Airaid intake. The seller claims this combination was dyno-tested at an impressive 488 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque at the rear wheels—far exceeding factory C5 output. Power is delivered through a 4-speed automatic transmission paired with a 2,800-stall torque converter, while C5 Z06 suspension components are said to sharpen handling without sacrificing everyday comfort.

Key characteristics that make this vehicle special:

  • Z06 crate engine swap with a Magna-Charger supercharger and supporting bolt-ons for substantial power gains
  • Documented performance with dyno sheets showing 488 rwhp and 510 lb-ft of torque
  • Z06 suspension upgrades for enhanced cornering confidence
  • Three-owner history with seller-described tasteful, performance-minded modifications
  • The C5 platform is widely regarded as one of the best performance values of its era, celebrated for reliability, comfort, and tremendous aftermarket potential

In the current market, the Chevrolet Corvette C5 Base Model typically sees average transaction values around $20,000, while the more potent Z06 variants command a noticeable premium. A well-executed modified example like this one—backed by documentation and built with quality components—often appeals to enthusiasts seeking turnkey power without the uncertainty of building it themselves.
