Vehicle Description
2000 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe
The Corvette crossed flag logo originally started out by using an
American Flag, crossed with a checkered flag. Federal law prohibits
the use of the flag in any advertising, so they had to come up with
another flag. Chevrolet being of French origin, they decided to use
at the French symbol for peace, the Fleur-de-lis, with the
checkered flag. Over the years it has gone through many iterations,
but the basic principles still exist.
For consignment a C5 Corvette with a LS2 performance engine,
upgraded leather seat covers, some carbon fiber accessories and
buttoned up with 60,201 original 2-owner miles. This is an example
of being passionate about your car!
Exterior
Bathed in light Pewter Metallic, all panels are straight and true
and the gaps are good, as expected for fiberglass. A rare Motor
City Mold carbon fiber hood replaces the fiberglass on the bonnet.
There is a removable targa top panel with a sunshade that covers
from the swept back windscreen to a B pillared roof rear. A roll
bar has the curved rear greenhouse glass floating above it. We note
a much more rounded design, almost bulbous for this generation,
with indented side panels with an air intake in the front quarters.
HID headlights are now on this car and make driving at night a
breeze. Add the PIAA 1100x driving fog lights, and it will be your
own personal rolling major league baseball stadium during a night
game! Snazzy honeycomb polished wheels are all around and wrapped
by brand new Michelin AS3 tires. 4 sweet sounding chromed exhaust
pipes exit center stage in the rear.
Interior
Utilizing upgraded two-tone leathers in black and tan which cover
curvaceous buckets that are form fitted to the driver and
passenger, you are in a sporty comfort zone. These custom new foam
inserted seats front a black dash peppered with carbon fiber
accents and perform the same undulating curvature as the snazzy
seats. Within one carbon fiber panel is a fab Pioneer stereo with
CD player and Satellite Radio capabilities. This unit pumps ohms
back to multi digital Alpine amps on the rear deck and out to high
end speakers and a sub-woofer. Dynamat sound insulation has also
been added throughout. For the Italian in you, there is a CarVaggio
steering wheel in matching seat two tone, and Corvette crossed flag
badge in the center. Near perfect carpet in tan, floods the
floors.
Drivetrain
Cartex built the LS2 362ci V8 engine complete with their 4x heads
and mild 4E custom grind cam. New comp 921 valve springs were put
in in 2018. Cometic head gaskets, Diamond pistons, and Manley
H-Lite rods were also spec'd on. Electronic fuel injection with a
Wilson Fast intake manifold, and VR cold air intake is on top.
Bolted on back of this healthy mill is an RPM Level 4 transmission,
an SFI flexplate, and a Billet cone coupler. A 3.90 geared rear is
on and a Dewitts high capacity radiator with dual 3500CFM fans and
a transmission fluid cooler keep everything in running temp
range.
Undercarriage
An amalgamation of aluminum and sturdy rust-free steel make up the
ground effect influenced undercarriage. No drips no repairs and
just clean C5 suspension all around and 4-wheel disc brakes are
noted as well as QA-1 tunable front shocks.
Drive-Ability
Like a dream in a nutshell. With all the bling and add ons she
drives beautifully, handles like it's on rails, and has a really
nice interior. No problems or nonfunctioning buttons or instruments
here. A/C blows cold.
As the consigner states this is a gas and go car, with practically
the only original parts being the doors and rear quarters. Highly
modified to be visually stunning, high performing, and comfortable
to look at and drive, we give you the Pewter Metallic streak, and
you will not be disappointed.
