Im putting up for auction a rare & unique 1996 LT4 Corvette coupe. I bought this car as a summer driver but getting in and out of the car on a daily basis isnt as easy as I thought it would be. Car is in excellent condition with only 60k miles & has an excellent carfax. Mileage is currently at 60500. I drive the car occasionally so it might go up but not by much. First off the car is an LT4 model. The LT4 engine was only available to 6 speed models in 1996. They produced around 21500 Vettes in 1996 and only 6500 of them were LT4s. These motors were known to have been grossly underrated in power output by GM. The official GM stated output was 330hp, however many stock units were dyno'd at close to 400hp. Most speculate GM deliberately underrated them so they wouldn't overshadow the upcoming LS1 engine in the C5 corvette. To make this car stand out from other LT4s out there it has had thousands of dollars in extras/modifications invested in it. Here is a list of what has been done or installed:
1. Black Grandsport/ZR-1 Rims
2. Brand new matching tires all around(275/40/17s front & 315/35/17 rears) Tires are Sumitomo HTR-Zs. Ill include the original receipt for any warranty purposes.
3.Long tube headers(I still have the originals). I think they are TPiS but not sure.
4. Borla exhaust.
5.Custom 3 inch tubing with X-pipe connecting headers to the Borlas
6.MSD Digital 6 Plus Ingition, MSD wires, and MSD Coil(coil not installed yet)
7.Grandsport paint stripes(painted- NOT decals)
8. New double din JVC cd/radio with aftermarket speakers replacing the Bose units.
9. Hypertech programmed with programmer included. Performance programming uploaded. Speedo re-calibrated for larger tires. Engine fan set to come on at lower temperature. Stock programming is on the programmer.
10. Short shifter installed. Not sure if its a B&M or a Hurst. For those that dont know what a short shifter is, be aware though that the throws are short & "notchy" Also it has the 1 to 4 bypass installed.
11. Granatelli Motorsports MAF(I have the original MAF if needed)
As mentioned above, the car has long-tube headers installed, thus it doesnt have the cats installed. When the previous owner bought the car it came with the factory headers/cats installed & with a cat-back Borla exhaust system. The previous owner then removed the factory headers/cats & installed the long tube headers and a custom exhaust with x-pipe connected to the Borla mufflers. I still also have the rest of the Borla cat-back system as well as the factory headers and cats. If you buy this car you can choose to drive it in its current setup(long tube headers, no cats, custom exhaust with x-pipe, and Borla mufflers) or you can revert back to the previous system(factory headers & cats, cat-back Borla system). The previous owner did have no problem passing emission checks with the currently installed system, though. Cheater plugs are used for the oxygen sensors. No check engine lights are on. Original sensors are in still in the cats.
Car is Torch Red with the black Grandsport stripe scheme. As mentioned before, the stripes are painted, they are not decals. No leaks. Goes down the road straight. Manual 6-speed transmission. Right now I have a round Momo shift knob on it but it also comes with a smaller leather knob as well. Leather dual power seats in great shape-no rips or tears. Auto climate control that blows cold air & the vent buttons work(unlike most 96 Vettes). It has a double din JVC radio/cd player. Bose speakers were replaced with aftermarket by previous owner. Original factory housings are used though-no cutting or cheesy looking aftermarket grills or housings. Radio was a factory fit so there is no cutting of the bezel. Radio plays MP3s and has a front USB input for ipod or other devices. You also have the option of adding JVCs aftermarket bluetooth module if so desired. This radio supports it. All manuals(including original window sticker), two sets of keys with key fobs. FOBs work & so does the PKE, though I currently have it disabled. I have the security socket for the lug nuts as well as the ratchet for the roof. Paint & body are in awesome shape for its age. Id rate them an 8 out of 10. Im being conservative though & realistically they are probably closer to an 8.5/9. If I go over the car carefully Id probably find a stone chip or two but overall the paint/body are in great shape. Interior is a 7.5 out of 10 with some signs of wear hear & there. Mainly the most wear is on the side of the shift console plate, right where your knee would hit. The rubber coating is worn away. I dont really notice it since my knee is in that spot. A new console plate will run you about $105 plus shipping off Ebay.
The bad: the power antenna mast no longer goes down. Its stuck in the up position & the motor works but it needs a new ribbon(I have the repair kit, just havent installed it). Also some of the weather stripping is starting to dry up. Nothing major but I do notice it in some spots. Very common with these Vettes. The rear hatch has some tint applied. It wasnt a very good job & there is some wrinkling near the bottom center. At one point there must have been a speaker or amp mounted in the back. There are some indents on the rear hatch carpet but arent really noticeable. One of the fobs has a piece of tape holding it together. It still works though. The previous owner put some small stickers in the door jambs on both sides. These are small "borla", "hypertech", and "K&N" stickers. I was too scared to try to remove them so they are still there. There is also a small "Holley" sticker under the hood which you can see in some of the pics.

This car definitely turns heads. Between its mean sounding exhaust and unique paint job it really grabs attention. Ive had several C5 & C6 owners tell me it was a really nice looking Vette. They really loved the torch red, black stripes, and black rims combination. I really like what the previous owner did to this car to make it stand out from other Vettes/LT4s. The only thing I would have done different is probably not installed the short shifter. I dont care for it but others really like it. It came with the car however, so its going with the car.
Winning bidder is responsible for all shipping costs. I have no problem, though, helping with any shipping arrangements on my end. If the final bid is over $13k, I would drive the car for up to a 200 mile radius if that helps. The factory headers/cats should fit in the back hatch but if you want the unused section of the Borla exhaust system, youll need a separate vehicle. I had no problem setting it in the back of a 2011 Impala with the seats folded down.
I might be open to straight-up trades to those within a 200 mile radius.
For the winning bidder, cash & wire transfers are fastest & preferred. I will accept a bank check but I will confirm the funds with the bank first before I release the car. I own the car & have the title in hand.
You can contact me via Ebay or call me at 920-791-0919 with questions. You are more than welcome to come check the car out before the auction ends.

Reuss says GM diesel plans are still on pace
Fri, Oct 16 2015General Motors is not going to let Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal ruin its plans for a new line of efficient, torquey oil-burners, the company's Executive Vice President Mark Reuss said at a recent press event. "No way," Reuss responded when asked about cancelling the upcoming diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze and other vehicles. "The Cruze Diesel is too good not to do it." Slated for 2017, the compact is just the latest member of a diesel offensive that initially kicked off with the first Cruze Diesel and most recently saw the introduction of the oil-burning Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. Reuss also reassured those in attendance that there was "no delay" in development of Cadillac's diesel lineup. Cadillac is working on a line of four- and six-cylinder turbodiesels for Europe. They'd make their way into the US market, too, eventually. "It's a question of timing," Reuss said, according to Car and Driver. Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal has caused automakers across the globe to at least reanalyze their diesel strategy. Jaguar Land Rover, which is preparing several diesel-powered models for the US market, went on record late last month to reaffirm its commitment to diesel.

Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works
Fri, 22 Mar 2013When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.
New Forza Horizon 2 pack features Chevy Monte Carlo SS, Audi RS6 Avant [w/video]
Tue, Dec 2 2014The latest car pack for Forza Horizon 2 is hitting Xbox Live today, giving Xbox One owners a shot at six new vehicles that date back to 1970. Leading the charge in the hearts and minds of the Autoblog staff is, of course, the 1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS, one of the most 80s-tastic performance coupes of its time. Chevy's 80s-era NASCAR representative is joined by another General Motors performance two-door, in the form of the 1970 Buick GSX. Complete with a 455-cubic-inch V8, the GSX could best be thought of as the grandpappy to the iconic GNX of the late 1980s. Crossing the pond, we have a trio of offerings from the United Kingdom, with the 2002 Lotus Esprit V8, the redesigned, aluminum-intensive 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged and finally, the 2015 McLaren 650S. The mid-engined offerings should be a riot on the winding roads of Forza Horizon 2's European locales, while the Range Rover should make cross-country efforts an absolute breeze. Finally, virtual wagon lovers will be able to enjoy the 2015 Audi RS6 Avant and its combination of Quattro all-wheel drive and a twin-turbocharged V8. As per usual, this latest car pack will be available to gamers for $5 while season pass owners will score the sextet of vehicles for free. Scroll down for a video of the new offerings in action, as well as the official press release from Turn 10 Studios. "Forza Horizon 2" NAPA® Chassis Car Pack Now Available The roads and countryside of "Forza Horizon 2" beg for you to leave your mark on them. The NAPA® Chassis Car Pack for "Forza Horizon 2" on Xbox One has arrived, bringing five amazing new cars to blaze trails, break records, or just enjoy a casual cruise in. First off, the new McLaren 650S Coupe's uncanny acceleration and preposterous top speed will satisfy the elitist in you. If you want get away from it all, there's no better way than in the Supercharged Land Rover. Need muscle? Take the classic form of the Buick GSX or the later model Monte Carlo SS for a spin. We all need more wagon in our lives and the Audi RS6 is ready to run around town or serve up surprises at the track. The NAPA® Chassis Car Pack for "Forza Horizon 2" on Xbox One is available today for $5 in the Xbox Live store. Starting today, also available this month for free for all Xbox One players is the 2002 Lotus Esprit V8.
