Hey guys,

I have a Canadian spec '06 Z06 and I was looking to ship this car to the Middle East.
Is it ok for me to do that? Is there anything totally different that the Middle Eastern Corvettes consist of? (i.e; different radiator etc. due to harsh and hot climate in the Middle East) Should I go ahead and ship my car to the Middle East without any worry?

Thanks!

Yah you can go ahead and ship it ....
Is't stock or modified Z ?

Fawaz,

Which Country? I know in Bahrain there are a ton of American Spec Muscle Cars around due to American Military guys shipping over the cars and then selling them for a premium price. The only difference in the LS based cars i saw that were produced for the middle east was the radiator and power steering intercoolers standard on the old Camaros. You should be fine shipping the car. I am in Kuwait right now and have seen more than a couple C6, but not a C6 Z06.

For all U.S.A. specifications, no problem 100% as I've been through this already. The only difference we have here is the headlight washer; never used it though!

If the Canadian specification car is the same as the U.S.A. one, don't waste further time and start the shipping procedure.

I would highly recommend that you supercharge it and tune it before you ship it. Use the Callaway charger, not the Procharger though as it gets really hot in Middle East and additionally you run into AC issues with the Procharger. You will do it for far excellent installation and cheaper deal in States and you can continue getting the support in UAE as many good shops are available. Make sure you get a soft copy of your tune, if possible.

Wish you a safe journey and good luck.

Hi fawaz,

I have brought over a number of my cars from the US to the UAE and have had no problems whatsoever. The only caution I would flag to you is the fact that you will have no warranty. If that is no issue to you then you are good to go! The only cars I am aware of that have an international warranty having been shipped from the US or any other jurisdiction for that matter are Cadillac, porsche, BMW and Mercedes for a period of 2 years from their in service date.
Lastly, as advised in the previous post, make sure to modify the car prior to shipping it out here.
Good Luck!

Hi Fawaz,

if you are the first owner of the car, what you need to do is get GM NA to transfer your warranty to the region your are going to. you need to stress that your work has shifted to another location and you need to have your warranty transfered there as well. If you manage to do this, then all would be ok for you. as for the shipping part, it no problem at all. This is for the UAE, i dont know if the other Arabian Gulf states go by the same rules for the warranty.

Thanks for all the replies guys!
