2012 Chevrolet Corvette Centennial Edition

2012 Centennial Edition Corvette Grandsport Coupe. 6 Speed. 3LT

 

51k miles (highway miles: to/from office)

Centennial Edition Model Package: Alcantara w/ Red Stitching. NPP Exhaust. Heads Up Display (Speed. G Meter. RPM. etc projected in hologram on windshield - can be seen in one of the pictures). 18/19 forged OEM Black Wheels. Carbon Flash Paint. Matte Black Double Racing Stripes. ZR1 Spoiler. CE Steering Wheel. Magnetic Suspension.

Car has been bulletproof - most reliable car I have owned to date!

I carefully decided to add some modifications to subtly improve the drivability and update the car to today's standards:

Appearance: 

ABS Plastic ZR1 front lip and sides were professionally installed. ABS material was picked over carbon fiber since it's strong yet flexible. so it won't crack like the typical carbon fiber or fiberglass lips.

All interior and exterior lights have been upgraded to 6000k LEDs for update lighting look (Exterior: fogs. DRL amber/white switchbacks with proper resistors. reverse lights. license plate lights. Full interior incandescent bulbs swap)

25% Tints on sides and 15% rear window

A-Pillars and Halo were professionally wrapped in gloss black vinyl to match the tinted windows

Front side markers and rear side markers were wrapped in vinyl tint

Roof was replaced with OEM clear roof for full sky visibility from the inside. They are tinted from factory on the outside so people can't see inside your car through the roof. Perfect match to the gloss black parts above and windows. Matte Expel Stripes were added so that from the outside it looks like they are the regular OEM black stripes. but you can see through them from the inside. Expel also stops any heat from coming in. so perfect for summer as well. Car will come with the OEM Centennial Edition shift knob. which is black alcantara with red stitching like the rest of the interior (Not the aftermarket one in one of the pictures)

Drivability:

MGW Shifter was added for smoother. crispier shiftingMild to Wild Switch mounted in ashtray (I don't smoke). It is a remote switch who closes or opens two of the 4 exhaust valves. It allows you to switch between very quiet exhaust tone and a louder more aggressive exhaust tone. CAGS Bypass (to avoid the OEM 1-3rd gear shifting requirement during low rpms that was added to Corvette by factory to get around the extra taxes during new car sale)Carbotech 1 Piece Street Brake Front & Rear pads were added (better stopping power. but less dust produced than the cheaper OEM pads)Hankook V12s were added for less road noise and better drivability. Car was then slightly lowered on the OEM lower bolts. Then. a 4-point professional alignment was done following the best recommended specs for best performance to tire life ratio. 2k miles on the tires. ARH Longtube Headers (with Flowmaster cats installed for 0 drone and 0 fumes. and adequate exhaust noise level) professionally installed with the proper supporting modifications (upgraded spark plugs. 180F thermostat). and professionally dyno tuned by Redline Motorsports. arguably the best tuner in South Florida for LS engines. Done 1 year ago. no issues whatsoever. amazing improvement in sound and overall drivability. With M2W switch in quite mode. very conservative exhaust sound. Post-Tune Numbers: 432 HP/ 415. 4 Torque (Equals 497HP/478 Torque to the crank once you consider the transmission losses of 15%. for those who are used to comparing to Advertisement numbers).

Headers were the only HP work that I did to the car. and I did so after hearing other C6 corvettes with aftermarket long tube headers. The difference through the NPP exhaust is amazing.

 

The only reason I am selling the car is because my wife and I are moving to NYC. and I don't want to see this beautiful car getting dinged and destroyed in the city.

Some people would recommend to remove some of the mods as it will not help the prices. but the car is so well done and the modifications yielded such an improvement over the already amazing original condition. that I decided to keep it for the next driver's enjoyment!

Thanks for looking.
