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.

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!

Andrew
