It came with the standard 4.3 V8 but in may of 2012 I started to overhaul the car and here's a list of what was changed/added.

-1994 REAL corvette motor (5.7 Lt1) ($1200) purchased from Coastal Corvettes in Mims,Fl (you can tell its real by the aluminum block and composite valve covers)

-Lt4 valve springs($50)
-msd opti-spark with cap & rotor($620)

-power akoustik 6x9s and 4x6s ($200)
-new carpet (I forgot the $ maybe 80-120 range)
*rear gears are still the stock 2.73? Gears because it does great on the highway that way and has a higher top end speed but if you are looking for a quick bottom end speed (0-60) you can easily change them to 3.42 or 3.73 for $400 with installation. But with the setup it has now it easily gets 20mpg highway! City mpg all depends on your right foot! 
*other than that I think that's everything, there is an extremely small oil leak coming from the bottom of the timing chain cover that's almost negligible but I am detail oriented. Paint is starting to peel in certain places (front bumper, back bumper, etc) and there are pings from the inside of the trunk that are visible on the outside. Car was painted back in 2009 but I was unhappy with it and made them repaint it 2 more times and I was still not fully satisfied even though they charged me around $1,900

Final C6 Corvette built in Bowling Green

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

With all of the attention given to the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray lately, you could be forgiven for thinking that it's already well along in production, yet tooling up for the new C7 has only just begun. In fact, production of the outgoing C6 generation in Bowling Green, Kentucky just halted on Thursday.
As the C6 has aged, production numbers have predictably ebbed along with demand, but this year, the addition of the 427 and 60th anniversary models resulted in an uptick in vehicles built - this, despite a model year shortened by around 25 percent to accomodate the new model changeover. The final C6 Corvette ever, No. 13,466 built this year, was a white 427 Convertible destined for the General Motors Heritage Center museum. The car's 7.0-liter V8 heart was assembled by Corvette chief engineer Tadge Juechter himself.
In total, Bowling Green pushed out 215,100 C6 Corvettes over nine years. If you're still a C6 fan at heart and are hoping to get a good deal on a phase-out model, step lively - Chevrolet reportedly had about 6,100 unsold units, which Autoweek suggests is good for around five and a half months of supply at the model's current sales rates. Given that demand will likely slacken even further as the C7 draws closer, that should be a big enough stockpile to keep dealers satisfied until 2014 Stingrays begin showing up on their forecourts in December.

2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web

Mon, 15 Apr 2013

The official debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only part of the excitement for fans of Chevy's virtuoso sportscar. Although we got to see the car and some of its preliminary specs in Detroit and Geneva, there is still no word on pricing and some of the juicier data points we've been waiting for - such as confirmed power output, EPA estimated mileage figures and performance numbers. Until then, CorvetteBlogger has gotten its hands on the order guide for the coupe version of the car - in both base and Z51 iterations - revealing tidbits like standard and optional features and available color combinations.
Some other new details made it onto the order guide, such as our first interior specs for the coupe including slightly less hip room and headroom, more shoulder room and the same amount of legroom. To see the full order guide, head on over to CorvetteBlogger. From what we can gather, it sounds like more information will be revealed on April 25 during a party at the Corvette Museum, and for those sun worshipers patiently waiting for a convertible, it would appear you've got another model year to wait through.
