It’s hard to think a car with a price tag of more than $100K is a bargain.
But that’s the case with this 2023 Corvette Stingray coupe that started with an MSRP just over $80,000 and then was upgraded with another $60,000 worth of performance and appearance additions.
Surprisingly, the current owner has already decided to part with this Torch Red beauty after driving it just 950 miles. He’s offering it on eBay with a “Buy It Now” price of $115,000 for the impatient, or if you’re more careful with your dollars, you can wait out the auction for another five days and see how much higher the rather unusual current high bid of $80,001.11 climbs.
Besides starting life with the top-of-the-line 3LT package, including a two-tone Natural and Black leather interior, this Corvette was then outfitted with the Hennessey H700 supercharged engine package that delivers 700 horsepower and 638 lb-ft of torque.
The engine upgrade boosts the stock LT1 engine’s power by 44 percent and torque by 37 percent, easily surpassing that of the Z06.
The H700 package includes a supercharger, intercooler, cat-back exhaust, performance engine tune, and transmission calibration.
Other professionally done mods include Lamborghini style doors, front Z07 style spoiler, rear carbon fiber duck wing spoiler, carbon fiber exterior side blades, lots of additional interior carbon fiber, 15% tint windows, and exterior ceramic coating.
Described as “like new” and in “mint condition,” this SEMA quality build with Z06-level power has been garage kept and covered.
As the owner summarizes it: “This is an amazing opportunity to get your dream car and one-of-a-kind build with a 3-year warranty from Hennessy with just over 2 years remaining and the full remaining factory warranty covering everything else at a significant discount to cost.”

Yes indeed, do all this work to it and then just sell it?? This type of activity has always been a question mark to me. Seems very strange to me.
I don’t get it. Spending all that money on it and then selling it so soon with the possibility of losing a lot of money on the sale.
My suspicions are that the car is not a very happy daily driver. HPE is into high performance and that doesn’t always equate to comfortable drivability. Performance upgrades make them high strung. I’m guessing the power is more “light switch” on and off and not good for traffic. I’m of the mind that Chevy engineered for driver/traffic friendly. If you are racing the upgrades make sense. I will enjoy the balance Chevy engineered into the car.
I love my ’17 Z06 as Chevy intended, fun to drive all day long.
I agree. It absolutely makes no sense to pay for that type of upgrade only to sell it after a few hundred miles. When I decided it was time for a new corvette back in 2019, I was not going make any engine modifications like in my 2005 coupe. I wanted more power but with 3 year 36k warranty, so it was a Z06 for me. I’ve never regretted my decision.
