Thats a good price!...........to bad its not a vert Matt.
C6 or other replacement?

Face

Beautiful car! I've always been jealous of it!

MattG

Thanks guys!

I am actually going to pay off a few debts and put some more money into our Nova dragcar. To go to the next power level it needs a new rearend and transmission as well as some dual adjustable coilovers, etc. I find I just dont get around to driving the vette as much as it deserves since we started racing the Nova. Plus, I want to put myself in the position to buy a C6 in 2-3 years. We will see what happens.

It really does shock me that I am selling it. I said I never would and would keep it forever!

car is amazing.. Good luck

MATT,

I have said those exact words myself over and over and don't know what's more bizarre, you selling your beast or me seriously contemplating selling mine. Your car is AWESOME and somebody will be getting a KILLER DEAL hear as i am sure Matt has about 50K in just go fast performance parts and other goodies in this his bad boy!!!

BEST OF LUCK TO ALL INVOLVED HERE!!!

Allthrottleandsomebottle

Somehow I knew that was coming

MINTY99Z

Hey, nice ride. Just a heads up for ya. In your title it says 590 HP and the dyno says 490......Which one is wrong?

ICULUKN-C5

I am assuming the car is in Canada... What would I need to do to get it registered in the US?

thegypsie

I presume his dyno chart is Rear Wheel HP vs. the ads title of BHP or FWHP. Makes sense.

Sweet car Matt and best of luck with the sale.

MINTY99Z

I assume that too, buts a lot of money and a big HP difference so I thought Id let him know just in case it was a typo.

MattG

Thanks again guys!

Yes, the post title that states 590hp is referring to bhp or HP at the crank. The dynochart is for the HP at the rear wheels (RWHP). I guess I should have been more clear about that when I made the post.

As for importing the car from Canada into the US, from what I understand it is not that difficult of a process at all. The car actually originally came from TX and was imported into Canada in 1998.

Here is a link I found that may be of some help to any potential US buyers:

http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/import/

I know there is a lot more info on the net about this as well. If someone is interested in buying it from the US, I will definitely asist as much as I can in the importing of the car to the US, even if it requires me to drive it across the border into Michigan.

Sorry to hear you're letting go of such a wonderful car.

If anyone is interested, here are a few scans of the Corvette Fever article that was done on it:

Oh say it isn't SO!!!

Matt I know how you have cared for that car and busted your adz to make sure everything was just right. Good luck to you with the Nova and I'm sure we'll see you back in a C6 in no time. You won't be able to resist! If, by chance, you're not in a C-car by next Memorial Day,
don't be a stranger!

MattG

Thanks Doug!

I am not sure if I could live through missing a Cruise-in so I will do what I can to get there next year even if I am vetteless!

MattG

One more thing to add...

The car comes with a single VIN licence of LS1edit. This lets you make any changes to the car's PCM programming yourself, or it lets you have a tuner make changes remotely and you can just flash the PCM with your own cable and ls1edit software.

Ttt

MattG

I still have it!

Matt sell me your SW rear facia and PIAA fogs... then sell it!(I'm serious) Crap what a buy...
