Every so often a build comes along that quietly refuses to play by the rules of its price tag, and that is exactly the energy radiating off this Sebring Silver C5. Currently up for grabs on Hagerty Marketplace, this supercharged 2000 Chevrolet Corvette coupe has been transformed from a comfortable boulevard cruiser into a wide-body, 600-horsepower street sleeper that its owner cheerfully describes as not for the faint hearted.The fifth-generation Corvette has always been an enthusiast favorite for exactly this kind of project. When it arrived, the C5 brought a modern aluminum LS-based V8 and a rear-mounted transaxle that gave Chevrolet's flagship sports car near-perfect balance and a genuinely usable cabin. The factory 5.7-liter LS1 was already stout, but its real gift was the headroom hiding inside it. This particular 2000 coupe, finished in Sebring Silver Metallic over black leather and showing just under 50,000 miles, is a textbook example of an owner who chose to chase that headroom rather than leave well enough alone.The Carbon Creations wide-body kit and aftermarket wheels give the C5 a far more aggressive stance.

The seller reports the combination is good for roughly 600 horsepower, all of it perfectly happy to run on pump gas. Backing the blown V8 is a six-speed manual transaxle fitted with an aftermarket clutch and flywheel, sending torque to a limited-slip differential, while a Billy Boat exhaust system and long-tube headers handle the soundtrack. Stainless braided lines tidy up the engine bay and hint at the care that went into the work.Sebring Silver Metallic paint, HID headlights, and a carbon fiber targa roof panel finish the look.

The suspension has been upgraded with LG Motorsports GT2 coilovers and Pfadt front and rear sway bars, dialing the C5 in for either street or track duty. The seller notes the setup can be retuned in about half an hour depending on the mission. Stopping is handled by Baer Pro six-piston calipers clamping down on fourteen-inch rotors, a serious brake package that matches the engine's ambitions. Aftermarket wheels and tinted tail lights round out the visual package, while inside, A-pillar auxiliary gauges and a Bluetooth-capable Pioneer head unit modernize the cockpit without erasing its character.Just under 50,000 miles show on the odometer of this clean-titled C5. Photo credit: Hagerty MarketplaceA Documented Build Looking For Its Next OwnerWhat makes this Corvette especially appealing is that the modifications are backed by paperwork. The car comes with manufacturer's literature, modification notes, and a clean CARFAX report, and it wears a clean North Carolina title in the seller's name. First registered in New York before stints in Montana and North Carolina, it represents the increasingly popular strategy of buying serious, ZR-1-baiting performance for a fraction of the cost of a factory hero car. As the seller puts it, this is a street sleeper that can run with the Z06s and ZR-1s for less than half the price.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe auction is live now, and you can view the full listing, photo gallery, and bidding details over on Hagerty Marketplace.⚡️ Read the full article on MotoriousSign up for the Motorious Newsletter.
