These cars are awesome.

Unless you really need to ditch it, I wouldn't move any more on price. Nice car, original, low miles, it's priced right :)

Not singling out the OP's well cared for car but why does it seem these all have mismatched colored bumpers, plastic molded curled on the edge, misfit hood, etc.? After all, this is supposed to represent the best of GM.

Yes. Your observations are correct and common, even on the nicest examples like the one here.

I've more recently noticed on the new Stingrays, that if the paint is a lighter metallic color (silver/pewter etc) from the factory it's uneven, blotchy and in some cases you can see dramatic discoloration in spots.

The first one I saw on the road was silver, it needed a respray from the factory.

There's a reason GM was/is able to package that much performance in such a low dollar package.

IMHO, the best part about these cars is they perform like freaks, cosmetic flaws can be simply corrected (if you care) and they cost little to nothing to maintain/modify/rebuild...unlike Porsche cars.

Nice car.
I sold my SC and bought an 07 Z06. I still instruct PCA DE's and I've tracked the Z06 a couple of times at Mosport.
The Z06 is fast and handles pretty good for stock.

Nice car and well priced. It's hard to think of another car that offers more performance per dollar than a C5 Z06. Sure there are some fit and finish things that could be better, but you can make the same argument about a Lotus.
