Default WTF is this guy talking about??

I was checking randomly checking stuff on ebay and saw this;

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=140358065898

I asked him if any mods or what is the mistake because 343rwhp is not 600hp and a boltons Z06 should put closer to 370-390rwhp a so 450-490fwhp. He responded: ''571hp''.

I dont see any FAST intake under the hood neither smooth below or anything that looks mod friendly..

I asked him a mod list and he replied:''its on there''....I think hes a crook or a total noob.

I don't know what the hell he's saying. I think I made it through around 3 or 4 sentences. If you're interested enough, call Mallett and ask them about it. I'm sure they could tell you what was done.

Not worth $29000 for sure. You could buy a FI vette for that kind of money right now. Run away from this deal. In the pictures it did not have a FAST intake for sure. He's full of bs.

Yeah, pretty sure hes full of it.

Not a deal for sure. I saw a C6 with 427 in the sale department for 26,5K$ so he can stick with his vette. And he should pay someone to write his description because its more confusing than having a case of beer..

Maybe he's trying to say he had the Mallet Hammer conversion.

What a tool. You don't have to look any farther than the grammar (or lack of) to know that seller is an idiot.

HHAAAAHAHAHAHAA!!!

Besides the fact that dude is totally retarded and knows NOTHING about this car, I wouldn't buy from on the basis that he can't even speak English. ****** needs to spell check, grammar check, and double check before clicking submit. He sounds more retarded than Kermit the Frog on LSD.

I love that he said 3K for "full length exhaust with H-pipe". That's good because you wouldn't wan't your stock H-pipe to be TOO close to the front of the car. LOL

600HP!!! UNDER THE HOOD! Wow... Lets see here, 600HP with 43% drive train loss (LOL) comes out to about 343HP to the ground. Sounds about right to me. HAHAHAHA

Wow.... Also, wtf is "MALLET RACING $12,000" ??? I see how that one went down:

Dumbass: "I want Z06 to be fast."
Mallet: "Um... Ok, what do you want to do with it."
Dumbass: "Fast."
Mallet: "Uh. OK. That'll be 12,000 dollars."
Dumbass: "OK."
Mallet: (Just take this dumbass's money and send him home. Don't do **** to the car.)

Mallett may have done the work but it is definately not a Mallett car. My Z06 is a Mallet Hammer edition. It would have Mallett on the gauge cluster and 3 metal plaques on the body (door jam, under the hood, in the trunk)

Either way, that guy is a moron

That's not that far from me, I should go look at it just for the hell of it. ZR1 suspension? Not to mention it reads like he wrote via a text message.

Directly from the EBay ad:

and after everything got it dyno over $22,000and then i took after all that to dyno it in so everything runs to the tee it has 343 hp to the real wheels around 571hp under the hood!!! if you add up every hp the parts say! VERY VERY FAST!!!!

Okay, I am presuming he means $22K in the motor, I can build at least two 700+RWHP motors for that kind of money. It says 343hp 'real' wheels and 571hp at crank, that is 40% drivetrain loss??? 'VERY VERY FAST!!!!' will not sell your car to an enthusiast that is looking to quantify your price, post dyno sheets, time slips, Speed Shop's build sheet,,,
Someone should go look at this and report back, as I am sure it will be interesting.

He even said he's adding up hp numbers that the parts in the magazines say they MIGHT produce. What a dumb ***. Maybe 343 to the ground if he can provide a dyno sheet. Even so, that's not near 571 on motor. That wont even touch 500 on motor. What a dumb ***.

So you sold a 20k mile C6 for $28k.. congratulations, that's what it was worth.
It takes a lot of money invested to be able to sell a C5 for that much.
