Maybe a 007 super spy car with the ejector seat option, smoke screen and oil slick.

Then again it may come with the new paint and dipole option. This option only comes with the muffler throwout bearing installation kit.

Tsk tsk tsk...you guys gotta learn to use a search engine before you post. YES...there IS a Corvette GRX vehicle. Here's the website where it is described. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=19044

Obviously the seller of the real vehicle was pulling your legs :)

Guys, I can't believe you don't remember the GRX! Clearly, this is a commemorative model of the famous GRX from the Speed Racer cartoon series. The episode was "The Fastest Car on Earth" and the engine was called the GRX.

The episode opens with some underworld character unearthing the GRX engine from a graveyard (presumably for humans, but why not bury an engine there too). It's placed into a car, and the super-secret potion is given to the driver so that he doesn't freak out from the extremely high speeds the car is capable of. It makes you thirsty, but don't drink any water or the potion wears off. Pops Racer remembers the GRX from its original day, and demands that it be destroyed so that no more lives are lost. Speed himself spends some time behind the wheel of the GRX, and gets freaked from the excessive speed.

Add some fist fights, clowning around by Chim-Chim and Spridle, the revelation of the son of the creator of the GRX (sorry I don't recall his name), and it all culminates in the Oriental Grand Prix. I think you know who wins the race.

You should be able to pick up the video at the local video store.

GRX means creative marketing which in turn means :bs

Hey! I have a couple of bucks worth of Canadian Tire money! Let's get a fund going and buy this puppy. Then we can make it the official CF C3 forum mascot!

This one is almost as bad as the '75 vert for $50k. Never seen so much :bs in one day :lolg:

Thanks for explaining what a GRX is!! :lol: That is actually pretty funny.
However, the pic of that car looks very familiar. Supposed to be a very nice LT-1 I think. MJ

DJ Dep

Guy,
I'm afraid all these people take Corvettecrap WAY too seriously. The website I posted above shows the GRX vehicle (as made by Johnny Lightning).
I guess they are too smug to actually visit it and see with their own eyes. They also must have NO sense of humor, as the advertisement was OBVIOUSLY meant in jest. What a bunch of dryballs!
