Default Ron Fellows Corvette

Just had a friend at a chevy dealership on the west coast call me. They just got in a Ron Fellows vette. Sounds like they are going to ask about $100K for it.

Anybody looking for one, pm me and i will give you his name and number. I have no interest in it or the transaction. Probably go fast, but who knows.

I'd rather get a 911 turbo or a GT 3 for that kind of money.

They seem to always ask a premium $10-20K at this dealership. Maybe they will get it on this limited addition

What's the big deal about these Ron Fellows Vettes? Do they have some special hardware or anything? I looked at Chevy's site and it didn't look like much more than a stripes/spolier/signature package.

Its a stripe package, some carbon fiber interior peices and its signed by Ron Fellows. Its still not worth over MSRP for all of that. No performance mods.

That is insane for a non performance vette, keep the stripes and the carbon fiber, I get plenty of fiber in my raison brand.

Didnt you know that racing stripes add 50hp per stripe. Seriously its a pretty cool stripe but still not worth what they are asking. Here is a close up of the fender stripe.
