Hey Guys-
I'm a C5 owner, but I make videos on the internet, sort of mini-guerilla Top Gear style I guess, and I just shot this piece with the C6RS, thought I'd share it with you.


enjoy!

Pretty cool......

Awesome video Matt! That Pratt & Miller C6RS is killer, and switchcars.com is cool for letting you take it for a spin.

The Smoking Tire is excellent, I recommend to everyone I know to subscribe.

Here's an idea, you should do a shoot with Chuck CoW, have him do a road engine tune tune your C5!

Excellent video, good writing, and you did a great job as the star of it too! I love red, and bang for the buck is what the C6 is ALL about to me too. I've got an 08, 1LT, Z51, NPP, QX1 coupe, just like the first car on this poster. For $43,600 new, two years ago, that was bang for the buck. That Pratt & Miller Corvette C6RS is a killer car, but at $75,235 for a base Z06, plus $186,000 to P&M for the conversion, for $261,235, I'd kind of feel like I got banged for my bucks.

I disagree, yes it's a lot of money, BUT you're getting very special low production number's car. A racecar for the street. Yes, it's based on a Vette, to the average person it still looks like a Vette, but from the ground up it's been redone. Not much of GM's "Vette" remains.

In addition, it probably won't depreciate much, if at all

Probably handles endless abuse as well.

It's one heII of a car, maybe if your Jay Leno or something, but for the price of a new one of those, I could buy 6 of my cars, 3.5 new 2010 Z06's, 2.38 new 2010 ZR1's, I could even buy the brand new 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia for $221,000. As far as the depreciation of it goes, Matt said, toward the end of that film, that you could buy that red #7 car for $185,000. There goes that $75,235, the price of that new Z06 that it took to build it, plus $1,000 off the conversion cost.

to build one from new is probably a waste of money, but to buy this example used, drive it, keep it nice for 20 years, and enjoy it, you could probably make a killing at Barret-Jackson 2030 with this car.

Yes I was sorry to hear that Nick is selling his car.

Awesome Video..........!

I would agree with this statement ONLY IF this car had some type of "history" behind it. For example, being used in a popular movie, or being owned by Jimmy Page, or something like that which makes it more desirable. Otherwise, yes, it is one of seven, but that alone I am not convinced will guarantee anything.

To the other poster, this one has depreciated because it is now "used" and not new. Not necessarily because it is not "worth" what they are asking. Can't say for sure, though, just my IMHO.

I guess the history of this line of cars is that it is built by Katech which built the ALMS cars that won all the races.

epic

That thing is raw.

Fun Vid

It's amazing how skinny it makes the ZR1 look. Like the regular C6 to a Z06/ZR1 body. haha

Katech_Zach

There are some nice Katech plugs in there. Very cool.
