2000 Chevrolet Corvette

Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to offer a bad to the bone 2000 Chevrolet Corvette fixed roof coupe. Produced in 1999 and 2000, the Fixed Roof Coupe was a way to make the Corvette more structurally rigid and therefore and even better handler. Without the targa top in the middle the Corvette's shell was 12% more rigid. This allowed for the suspension to work harder in the corners and turned the C5 into an even more incredible track machine. This particular coupe has an ace hidden up its sleeve to improve the performance immensely. Pop the hood, and unless you know what to look for, you might mistake it for a stock LS1. Upon closer inspection you'll see some plumbing and a front mounted intercooler. That intercooler is for the twin rear mounted turbos which boost this Corvette from 345 HP to 600 HP. That's right, the twin turbos are mounted all the way in the back just in front of the exhaust tips. With this set up, 91 octane, and some tuning, the Vette made 600 HP at the rear wheels. This is a pretty awesome package given the only hint of the vehicle being modified at first glance would be the drilled and slotted brake rotors supplied by Brembo. Dig a little deeper into this sleeper and you'll find Kooks long tube headers, high flow cats, Spec 2+ clutch with aluminum radiator, Hurst short throw shifter, Line lock, and Z06 valve springs. The total package makes for a subtle looking high performance Corvette that will put most street cars to shame. With just over 60,000 miles on the odometer, the vehicle is in great shape in and out. The modifications were added around 52,000 miles and perform wonderfully. If you want a nice Corvette which will shock most when you leave them at the stoplight, here it is.
