I've been around GM products for the last 4-5 years, had two Camaro SS's and a V6 one, both the SS versions had the exact same motor as in that Vette, just weighed more.
My old roommate had a 99 Vette with a ton of work done to it.
They're fun to mod, fun to drive stock - all depends on what you're looking for. The picture above is around a 650whp configuration and was daily driven until he drove it through a flooded part of the street and seized the motor.
As long as she puts the right fuel in it, keeps the traction control on and doesn't ride the clutch like a $2 whore she should be fine. There's a reason the majority of Vette owners are 40 and older.
Do you know if it's a Z06 or a regular C5 vette? Judging by the HP rating I'm assuming it's not a Z06 but then again I don't know how all the fancy european or whatever ratings translate over.
