FS: 2006 Corvette M6 - buildup featured in GMHTP ***PRICE UPDATED 7/23/08***
Owned since new by GMHTP contributing editor Chris Werner (me) - I love this car, but it's time to move on to other projects, and I am determined to find it a great new home!
The basics: 2006 Corvette coupe, 6.0L LS2, 6-speed manual, only options are Monterey Red Metallic paint and polished aluminum wheels. Currently 17,XXX miles. Car is located in Franklin Lakes, NJ.
Here's the low-down on mods:
-aftermarket CNC-ported heads
-aftermarket roller rockers
-ARH headers w/catted x-pipe
-VaraRam Snake Charmer induction and throttle body spacer
-CORSA 3" cat-back (VERY throaty ;-))
-Custom tune by TTP
-B&M shifter
-Innovate LC-1 onboard wideband O2.
Immaculate condition, always garaged and has never seen snow. GMHTP articles in which this vehicle has appeared:
"Locked on Target," November 2006
http://www.gmhightechperformance.com...tte/index.html
"Ethereal Rush," March 2007
"Solely Stainless, Totally Tubular," May 2007
http://www.gmhightechperformance.com...ion/index.html
"Preemptive Strike," August 2007
...and an as-yet-unpublished finale coming summer 2008 (hence my not revealing what the "aftermarket" heads or rockers are, or a rwhp number. Interested potential buyers can PM me for those details.)
Asking $39,900. Serious inquiries only please, no trades.

LS1Tech crew,
Chris is the most meticulous guy I know and his vehicles show it. I have no vested interest in "recommending" any of the vehicles seen in the magazine, but having seen and purchased my share of vehicles, buying from a detail-oriented mechanical engineer isn't a bad way to go!

Correct. I had toyed with the idea of a supercharger but did not get around to it. I did not want to put in a cam suited to N/A use and then have to change it with the blower.
The stock cam, of course, is great for a blower. And idles great around town...

Although I have nowhere near the funds to purchase the car and being a meticulous mechanical engineer myself I think some people would like to know if holes have been drilled for that front license plate?

No holes: that's double-sided 3M tape. We take it off and reapply once every few months. It sticks well but also keeps the paint underneath pristine. A quick wipe and you'd never know it was on there!
