Default Turbinator move over FUEL DOCTOR is here!!

Yes fellow Corvette affectiandos there are those in the corvette community who are always looking for an "EDGE" thats why we have the Turbinator, E3 Plugs, "Z-Max" "Can I put my name on the line on that and I mean it." ?!?!??so says Carriol Shelby well folks just got my heartland catalog and right there on page 212 issss"THE FUEL DOCTOR" YES LADIES AND GENTS The Fuel Doctor is an electrical current regulator and De Magnetizing device that improves electrical firing and cleans your engine of magnetic flux (HUH?!?!???) Don't understand?? AND THE ONLY HOOKUP IS TO PLUG IT INTO THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER SSSOOO WHEN YOU WANT TO GET RID OF THAT NASTY MAGNETIC FLUX REACH FOR THE FUEL DOCTOR.

The C5 has 2 cigarette lighters. One in the dash, the other in the console. Cool! Now I can run 2 Fuel Drs. at once... kinda like twin-turbos!

Now that I'm thinking about it... the LSx block is aluminum... no flux there... Gotta hope that de-fluxing the crank, and connecting rods is sufficient...

Mythbusters did an episode on "fuel saving" products. You wont believe it, but ALL of them failed to save anything! Some of them even lost mpg's!

Well first off you guys are being short sighted on the verge of racist because you havent seen my new patent pending gearanteed to save you mpg!!

It will be a hydraulic/electronic arm that will fit in the license plate cavity of the front bumper and yes it will plug into the cigarrete lighter for power with push button activation!

How does it work?

Simple upon push button activation the hydraulic arm will reach out and latch on to the mother vehicle in front via a magnet or suction cup (for plastic cars), once latched you simply put your C5 in neutral and tag along with high mpg averages!!
For an few extra $ if you order now we will provide with a rear end version for those times when the mother vehicle is behind you!
