When looking at how the hood vent blows hot air from the radiator over the top, I can't help but wonder how hot that air will be and how that will effect the paint job downwind, particularly right between the vent and the winshield. Will we perhaps see instances of peeling or bubbling in that...

There you go! A 1970 Corvette LS7! :cool You just had to wait 35 years for it. ;LOL

I'm a software developer, though I've been testing more than developing lately.... I wasn't planning on getting a Vette until after I had kids and they were out of school, but the divorce accelerated those plans a bit. :) I'm getting married again in May, and now I have the house, the wife...

That pic comes straight from the Chevy website: http://www.chevrolet.com/pop/corvette/wheels.jsp It's described as "Ten-spoke Genuine Corvette Accessories wheel" but it's not listed as an option. Hmmm......

I wonder if they're looking at the standard GS tires and not the Supercar tires that the Z51 comes with. I just looked at the tires on my Z06 and they're marked as "Y".

Nuts... not only did I screw up the link but it's not even good anymore! Anyway, here's the text: FOR RELEASE: 2004-07-28 GM Powertrain Opens Performance Build Center New Vortec 6.0-liter Gen IV, Half-Century of Small-Block V-8s Celebrated "GM Powertrain inaugurates $10 million...

http://media.gm.com/servlet/Gateway...&docid=6373 Looks like we have official word from GM that the LS7 will be in the 2006 Corvette Z06. :_rock

They also had a picture of the original C6 design in there: (sorry about the bad allignment... this was two separate scans) You can see some the Aztek influence in the front and rear. Now I understand..... Design Team: This is the new Corvette! Bob Lutz: No, it's not! :L

I have to admit, it doesn't look that bad. Kinda reminds me of the Saleen S7 and McLaren F1. If they do make this, it will blow EVERYONE away, Italians included. And if the price comes in even under $200K, that's still a lot of bang-for-the-buck. I think it's high time GM quit screwing...

I also have an 03 Z06 and 5th to 6th has never given me a problem. Sometimes 1st to 2nd feels a little "notchy", however since this is my first stick I don't have anything to compare against. Dennis :w

I guess that makes me a "common man", but I picked up a new Z06 a year ago and I'm not struggling. Of course, I don't have a family to worry about either. :)

Try spraying on more of the wheel cleaner, then use a stiff toothbrush to scrub away at it. Just don't use the brush on your teeth later. :)

I spoke to a guy at one the local Vette clubs around here. Apparently this guy knows some insiders because he had a nice set of signitures on his engine. He said that he also had a chance to help in the assembly of his Vette and got an opportunity to ride in an XLR. AND... he also said he saw...

The way they described those brakes, it soundes like the dics were stationary and the calipers moved with the wheels. Wouldn't that be extremely unbalanced? Unless they had a counterweight, which of course means adding weight. Am I missing something here?

The HUD was not available on the 01 Z06, but was standard starting in 02 on the Z06.
