That car was only $16,000 when it was new?? I'd drop $16,000 for that car in a heartbeat right now!!
I wonder how high the price went this last time around?

It'll be interesting to see what/if it sells for this time.
Edit: This car has been around few a few years now:

There is some good info on it here:

Given the 350's torque output was even higher, perhaps GM didn't think it was a wise move to use it behind it? Many a Mustang owner killed them. But they were cheap and inexpensive to fix/rebuild so.....

A C5 Z06, silver with red interior is my go to supercar. I hate that the Corvette did away with the pop up headlights in the C6. But in all honesty, that 305 HO with a T5 would be plenty fun and more than enough for the street.

Sometimes smog testing is the reason why some engine and transmission combos aren't sold. Getting an engine to pass the smog test with an automatic transmission appears to be easier to do than with a manual.
That in mind, how much less smog would a TPI 305 create versus a 350 TPI engine?

I remember reading somewhere they were also afraid the 350 would eat the T5. By that time I think the Corvette had the ZF6 and before that the Doug Nash 4+3(which was poop)

...And then the clouds parted and the T-56 was delivered. The angels sang and the gearheads rejoiced

LOL!
I have to say mine has been rock solid. I really like the T-56.

Those L-89 350 engines did sound sweet compared to a 5.0 Stang

I'm on the other side of the fence, I vastly prefer the sound of an SBF to an SBC, LOL! When my buddy and I were doing the motor for his dad's S10 we seriously contemplated ordering it with the LSx/SBF firing order to see if we could make it sound like one

I think we can all agree they both sound a heck of a lot better than a 1.5L Civic with a fartcan muffler!

You could buy a brand new 2015 Camaro SS 1le for the price of this thing.

I REALLY like the way that silver C5 Z06 that was in the Optima Ultimate Street Car Challenge at Road America was set up (I forgot the driver's name).
Especially his wheel/tire choice, although I would have painted the carbon fiber hood the body color.
