look in the dealer inventory section of C6 a number of supporting dealers are posting what GMU (supplier pricing) means on various models.

Go to this link and build your dream car. You will see the supplier price come up under the MSRP on the right:

http://www.gmbuypower.com/byo/byoSel...ewVehicle=true

It will be roughly 9.6% below MSRP. More with options. Supplier pricing is caled GSU. Employee pricing is called GSM.

I also had a 23 Outlaw loved the boat, But it was to much boat with the 496 HO motor for the size of lake we live on. Sold it and bought a Corvette. Nice talking to you again.

Sad but true. At least all other models are eligible if you can find a willing dealer.

You should check with Rick (Corvette Conti) at EVS, he will give you a great price and the car can be drop shipped to a dealer in your area.

I would strongly recommend that you look at one of the forum dealers which has great prices, you can order your car but you must check off on California destination as the emissions will be increased to be a certified vehicle in CA. with that you should have no problems in registering the car, beside on ordered cars the car will be delivered to the dealership of your choice in your home town.

We live on a lake so we bought a new 25 foot triple toon pontoon, Still had to have some speed it has a 350 mag that will go 52 mph. That holds 16 people alot more room for the coolers of Bud Light. But still miss speed of the Baja.

P.S. nice looking boat nordy racer
