That's cool, how do you purchase something like that? Does it come with a C of O or just a bill of sale?
And if you don't mind answering, how much?

No C of O on this. The same as buying all of the parts and assembling yourself.

We will get it all up and operating and then sell it. I'm not planning an actual project for it here.

Apparently I'm in the wrong business. I would never even think of buying a new Corvette and parting it to make a racecar.

Very cool, add me to the long list of droolers who would would love to have that setup - and something to place it under.

Great buy Thanks for sharing!
Love to see the race car build.

What is a C of O?
Certificate of origin?

John,

Good to see you guys working on this. What ECU does the C7 use? I am very interested in the rev-matching feature. Is this something that can be implemented in standalone applications? Is there a level of programability to it?

Yes, Certificate of origin is what I think he was referring to.

The Gen-5 engines use the new E92 ECM.

I don't know much about the rev matching on these yet. I know it works really well on the Gen-4 6L80 applications when you tap shift in sport mode. Lots to learn about these new ones still!

John,

I am really interested in seeing how this system works. Questions that come to mind are:

1. How does it know a shift is about to happen?
2. Is there a load cell built into the shifter?
3. How does it know what hear it is in?
4. How does it know what gear it is being shifted into?

The reason I ask all this, is that if all this can be figured out, this might be an amazing system when integrated with a dog-ring transmission!

Good questions, I was wondering the same thing.
