Default 2008 Corvette LS3, Manual Trans - NEEDED - easy $500 for you

Guys,

I need a 2008 Corvette, LS3, Manual ONLY - minimal mods -

We need the car to do some chassis dyno tests - should take one day (drop off in morning, pickup that evening). You need to be able and willing to drop it off at Comp Cams in Memphis, TN - I prefer you're local, because I might want you to come back for more.

What's in it for you? How about a $500 gift certificate to Comp Cams and of course free dyno test results.

email or PM if you're interested. I need this quick.

Brian

I think you'll generate more interest if you make 500 cash vs GC to your company. All those dyno runs take a toll on a car. JMHO, good luck though.


Bump to the top

Thanks to those who have offered so far - wow, that was quick! I guess 8hr+ drives are a little too far

need someone a little closer - unless you want an excuse for a road trip

I expect this will be the first of several opportunities in the coming weeks/months, so whoever we work with is going to get the first chance at the next couple new products we're doing --- this is going to be really good for someone

Is this for testing of the new LS3/L92/L76 FAST intake manifold?
When are you guys going to finally release it?

Guys,
this is a bolt-on test; nothing 'intrusive' or internal - so no worries there. It won't be a ton of pulls or anything to get worried about. This is fairly quick, fairly simple - and I'll take care of you.

thanks
brian

You might have better luck over at corvetteforum.com, C6 section.

I tried to post, but mysteriously the post was moved and can't be opened. Typical of Corvetteforum, probably due to something money related. They have a reputation of hiding bad supporting vendor experiences and shoving aside useful info from vendors who don't pay them protection money.
