This 2005 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is anything but an
ordinary C6. Built as a highly individualized grand-touring and
performance car, it combines the lightweight, balanced C6 platform
with a supercharged 6.0-liter LS2, extensive body modifications,
upgraded braking and exhaust components, a fully customized audio
installation, and a long list of detail work documented through
receipts and build records.
The centerpiece is Chevrolet's 6.0L LS2 V8, which has been
transformed through an A&A polished centrifugal supercharger
system utilizing a Vortech head unit and upgraded 8-rib drive
arrangement. Supporting modifications include a custom induction
system, upgraded fuel rails, performance tuning, and a high-output
polished alternator. The engine bay has been extensively detailed
with polished components and custom trim while still retaining the
recognizable LS2 architecture.
Performance is backed by hard numbers. An included Walsh
Motorsports Dynojet sheet records a maximum of 559.22 horsepower
and 501.20 lb-ft of torque, giving this Corvette substantially more
output than a stock LS2 C6 while maintaining the broad, usable
power delivery that makes a centrifugal-supercharged Corvette such
an entertaining street car.
Exhaust upgrades include Stainless Works headers and X-pipe
components paired with a Corsa quad-tip cat-back system, giving the
LS2 a much more authoritative exhaust note. An additional
12-inch-by-3-inch straight-pipe section is included with the sale
for the next owner, although emissions and road-use requirements
should be verified locally.
The exterior has received an equally extensive transformation. The
black finish is complemented by a more aggressive ZR-inspired front
fascia, side skirts, rear diffuser, Stinger-style hood and rear
spoiler. Mesh grille treatments, blackout details, custom Corvette
emblems, Supercharged badging, tinted lighting and stealth-style
wipers continue the monochromatic theme.
One of the most dramatic modifications is the vertical-door
conversion, which gives the car a true show-car element while
preserving the original C6 door structure and cabin access.
The stance is completed by polished multi-piece Asanti wheels with
an aggressive staggered tire package. The photos show 275/30ZR19
tires up front and massive 345/25ZR20 tires at the rear, giving the
car both the visual width and contact patch appropriate for its
supercharged output. Cross-drilled rotors are visible at all four
corners, and the documented build includes Hawk HPS street brake
pads.
Inside, the Corvette continues the custom theme without abandoning
the fundamentally driver-oriented C6 cockpit. A pair of AutoMeter
Cobalt gauges mounted along the A-pillar monitor boost and fuel
pressure, providing useful information for the forced-induction
setup.
Entertainment has been extensively upgraded around a Pioneer
touchscreen head unit and a substantial JL Audio system.
Documentation lists multiple JL Audio amplifiers, component
speakers and dual subwoofers, with the rear cargo compartment
transformed into a custom installation featuring molded enclosures
and an illuminated Corvette centerpiece. HushMat sound treatment
was also incorporated into portions of the cabin and cargo
area.
The customization is unusually well documented. An included build
summary lists the original purchase and numerous modifications,
with $77,711.19 shown as the total amount invested at the time the
document was prepared, including the vehicle's original purchase
cost. Supporting paperwork for many of the components and
installation work is also included.
The sale additionally includes the factory manuals and case,
factory hard keys, one operational key fob, an additional
unprogrammed fob, two Code Alarm remotes, battery trickle charger,
a pair of 56-inch Race Ramps, removed ZR-style side skirts, and
additional related components.
With 39,944 miles, documented forced-induction performance, an
extensive modification history, custom bodywork, staggered 19- and
20-inch wheels, a serious audio system and nearly every area of the
car personalized, this C6 represents a very different proposition
from a lightly modified Corvette. It is a completed, documented
custom build intended for the enthusiast who wants supercharged LS
performance, unmistakable road presence, and a Corvette that will
not disappear into a row of stock C6s.
