It is a sad day…
I have to pay off some bills and am looking to change my lifestyle so that I may be able to settle down and purchase a home.
So...I am selling my 2001 Quicksilver Z06.
If you are looking for an unbelievably composed and awesomely powerful car, this is it. It is awesome in person, and it has been maintained and modified to impeccable standards. Many of those on corvetteforum.com, including many of the corvetteforum vendors, know this car. I am a long time member of the forum, and this vehicle has been featured on the site as one of the top modified fifth generation corvettes.
This car was delivered new on April 9th of 2001. I am an obsessive, compulsive clean freak, and the car is exemplary of my nature. Since delivery it has never seen the rain, never used anything other than Zaino products for car care, and has been regularly serviced by me. The car is absolutely FLAWLESS. The paint, the interior, the rocker panels even, are immaculate. Despite its demeanor, it has never been raced. It is solely a weekend, good weather cruiser with just less than 12,500 original miles.
The factory options include the black trimmed leather seats, electrochromic mirrors, floormats, and the memory package. It is a 50 state legal car, and all of its modifications have the proper CARB numbers for smog legality.
This car offers just about every “bolt-on” available in the C5 market today. True to form, I was extremely judgmental of the parts that were chosen to make up this car. If it didn’t perform just right, fit just right, or look just right, it wasn’t purchased or I sent it back. I am complimented daily on the attention to detail, and the professionalism of the composition.
Among the most notable modifications are the HRE 545 three-piece wheels in 18” and 19”, fully polished, with the clear coat finish. They measure 18x9.5 Front and 19x10.5 Rear. They are wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero Assimetrico tires that measure 265/35/18 Front and 295/30/19 Rear. The tire and wheel package cost over $6,000 alone. Also of note is the custom fabricated nitrous system. This kit is like none other on the market - it was built, with parts from various distributors, to appear as though it is just another factory-enhanced item on the car. I toiled for more than 3 months making sure the install and the finishes on the parts were absolutely flawless. You will not find another one exactly like it. The nitrous system itself, with dual powder coated and airbrushed bottles, and dual purge system, cost me nearly $2,000 to build.
In May of 2002, I dynoed this car to 462.5 rwhp and 495.5 rwtq on the 100hp shot nitrous jetting. At the flywheel this calculates to nearly 560hp. With the capability of jetting to 150hp, this car could easily top the 500rwhp mark. The wonderful thing about nitrous is it does not affect drivability. Ultimately, this made a lot of sense considering this vehicle was built largely built for show and for bragging rights. I have yet to use the system to its true potential, but rest assured, the power it generates is unbelievable. The dyno graph speaks for itself.
The remainder of the modifications includes the following:
· Baer Cross Drilled & Slotted Brake Rotors
· RK Sport Lowering Bolts and Bushings
· Bilstein Sport Shocks
· European Tail Lamps w/ Clear Lenses
· APC Xenon Head Lamp Bulbs

Do you have any more pictures of the PRT exhaust tips? 
Have you tried Dupont Registry?
