Hello !

I'm Martin Hauser and my wife Nancy and I live on the southern Oregon coast in Bandon. I just purchased GS906 from a great guy in Houston that advertised the car on the GS Registry site. The car is now waiting to be shipped. I have loved the look of the GS for years, but don't see them often here in Oregon. One from California showed up for our corvette club's show a couple of weeks ago and won first place in the C4 class. It got me to thinking I needed to have one ! I have a 99 Corvette Coupe and my wife owns a 2000 Corvette convertible, so we aren't new to the Corvette culture. I'm a member and frequent visitor to the Corvetteforum.com website and will be visiting here often to learn as much as I can about these exciting cars ! Here's a picture of my 99 Coupe.

Welcome aboard to GS 906 - Seems that several Texas cars and California cars are coming to Oregon. I bought my GS thru the GS Registry from the previous owner in Dallas. What a ggreat drive home! The newest member of our local Corvette club came from California with his GS.

Glad to have you and your wife with us Martin. Are you going to keep all 3 vettes ? That is some fine machinery you got, and the skunk is going to feel right at home with them. I saw #906 on the registry and it is a sweet one. Congrats ;)

Hello to you all :huh:

I am John from the Netherlands and I am qurious for the Grand Sport Corvette. I hope you don't mind that I ask soms things here.

I am 42, almost father of 4 girls (one is cumming up in november) and my interest is the corvette. I can talk some corvette language, because I had some vette's in the past and recenty I own a 1998 C5 six-speed coupe with some mods. I am a normal guy (exept the corvette-thing) and I work as a constructor of dry-walls, wich I have my own company in.

Here you can find a picture of my vette:

Well crap!

I had the loan in place, price negotiated, 10k cashiers in hand for down payment. Drove 3 hours, one way, to pick up the GS. Get there. Dealer says, oops, it won't pass smog and we don't know why. It's off the market.

So, they ran my credit, no problem. Lender fully approved me, no problem. I had the down, no problem.

Should they get their act together, I may reconsider. In the meantime, I just picked up a nice 95 ZR1.

Master Earl, bummer to hear about the GS not passing inspection! Mine seems to pass just fine with a 396 and S/C but I've also got stock cats, but no resonator. I've been told its hard to make one of these things not pass emissions but who knows.

Earl, sorry to hear about the smog test failure. CA can be very picky. I've even heard of cars with nothing more than a simple cam swap failing the test. But congrats on the ZR-1 at any rate!

John, you are more than welcome here. Ask any GS-related question you care to. Someone here will surely know the answer.

Welcome to you both!
