I like this part:

"This combination repels the vette down the mile at 172mph"

"repels"? He doesn't know how to spell "dual", either.

He said it passed CA smog "last time". There is no way this car could have passed CA smog with those mods. Maybe "last time" was 10 years ago before anything was done to it.

I doubt this is one of Guldstrand's GS80's but you never know. The guys VetteTech story may be based on them doing some work to the car. He has already thrown them into the story, Callaway, and maybe Guldstrand as well. Might as well attach as many famous names as possible to entice extra dollars out of the unsuspecting.

Why would you use a 1987 vette to prototype the 1996 GS?!?!?!

Yeah I forgot to mention that. If the car was developed in '91 why did they use the '87? You would think GM would provide a new car for this.

He has the 'Mileage' as 25,001

And yet his own 'Auto Check' history report says 194,157 as of 2007.

It's interesting that the history doesn't go back any further than 1998 with a reported mileage of 113,949.

That sad part is that it has some good pieces on it but the representation completely kills any confidence that anything was done right.
