Sachin Misra

A big thank you to all the rennlisters that I have had the pleasure of knowing for the past decade.

As painful as it was, I traded in the 96 993 C4S for a 08 Z06. I wish I could have both as they are very different beasts. As much as I will miss the 993, I'm really enjoying the Z06.

Thanks for all the help over the years, Rennlist has been a great community and I will miss it.

Goodbye,
Sachin

You will be back, just a question of time really. I have other sport cars and I can state with perfect cetainty that the 993 will stay with me.

Youll still hang around here from time to time. Enjoy the Corvette!

Sachin-- You & your C4S made an impression on me from the moment I started surfing RL years ago.

I've worshipped your beautiful Arena Red WB from afar, while enjoying your posts about your supercharger, your 3D printer, & your son's drawings.
Speaking of family, it was great when you shared that your parents were found safely after disappearing during a horrible storm in Waveland, MS.
Have fun, & drive safe - you'll be missed

Sachin,

Certainly enjoyed reading your posts over the years. Good luck with the new beast. Those things look great and have to be a blast to drive.

Hope to see you back sooner rather than later, Sachin!

Sachin

I definately remember your from my 'early' years on Rennlist.
Good luck with the new car too, color ?
Maybe I'll see you cruising on Route 88.

Stick around, and enjoy the new car.

Sachin,

Say it's not so!!!! Your TPC Supercharger install was the inspiration to do the same with my 1996 993!!!!!

Best wishes to you and the roads you take!!!!

Sachin Misra

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I'll still drop in from time to time. I guess I just needed a change of scenery but I already miss the 993!

Here's the new beast!

As someone who moved from an 07 C6 Vette to 997, you need one of each.

I did a Bondurant course in Z06 and found the Vette as controlable as the Pcar. I do prefer the overall "harmony" of the Pcar though.

One of each, tell your wife I said it was ok. js

Sachin, sorry to see you go. You've been here since I've joined 9 years ago and I want to thank you and hope to see you back.

I just gotta ask...considering you had such an apparently well known supercharged C4S...in Arena Red no less...why did you trade it in, and not offer it up here on rennlist first?

I mean no disrespect, but keeping it in the "family" so to speak, just seems like the best thing to do. If the $$...sales tax reduction per trade in value worked out that is.

Some might like to know where the car is now available for sale also.

As a side note, I have a childhood friend who bought an 06 Z06. Had 2600 mies on it when he bought it last year. Older gentleman who owned it, went to a CTS-V IIRC.

Anyway, Turner Motorsport in Rochester, NY does a stroker kit for it, long tube headers, intake magic etc. Wow, what a lumpy idle...almost 700 ft lbs of torque as I remember.

At least you get to keep the 993 in your avatar!!!!

FWIW: I had a new 2008 C6 convertible for 4 years before selling it and eventually getting the 993C4S i currently drive as a second car. The corvette was amazing. Power in spades, great handling, brakes and comfortable. I was getting a little nervous with how fast the car made me want to drive it and am happier where I am now. If you end up in the same predicament (insane speeds on public roads) take it to a track. I will be back in a corvette some day but it will be a coupe. And, I will never sell my 993.

Enjoy!!!
