    News: Exclusive First-Hand Look at the 2009 ZR1 Corvette

    Rob, Great exclusive and thanks for providing this to us! I have been hearing rumours in another forum about "problems" with the LS9 as in it can get to the hp ******* but they cannot keep it together (whatever that means). Any news on any issues happening at this stage? :confused

    Question: STS Turbo vs ProCharger

    Can anyone give me a real breakdown on which of these is: a) the better approach from a ease of installation viewpoint? b) less likely to cause problems with the engine? c) a more efficient solution for autocross/regular driving I would like to hear from anyone who has real-world knowledge...

    Question: Is it EVER too COLD to take out the Corvette?

    I just took mine out today while the streets were dry and cold. How's -5 strike you? Heated seats and a great heater! I warm it up outside for 45 minutes every week or so but today is the first I have driven it. Went about 8 miles to let it get good and warm.:cool I did have to take it really...

    News: New CaddyCTS-V! ZR1 with 4 doors

    I agree. I have never really liked a Caddy that much until the XLR and this is really great. Also agree about the cheezy parts of the steering wheel but I do really like the outer shape and material. Would love that one one my C6 along with that engine!:cool

    Forget the King of the Hill. Meet the God of the Mountain

    I'm certainly not saying that there is no substance to the new Vette...I'm saying there darn well better be! The hyping of it is excessive/overblown til we do see some hard *******. Those ******* include actual horsepower, the Nordschleife and other track times, drag strip times, and last but...

    Forget the King of the Hill. Meet the God of the Mountain

    Hype machine I love Corvettes, I have one, and I waited a long time to own one but I'm sorry, there is just way tooo much hype about the ZR1, for example...no coating costs $60k a gallon! If it did, a carbon-fiber fender would cost less than the coating that goes on it! Like other Corvettes...

    News: US: General Motors cancels development programme for new gasoline V8

    The writer is throwing this statement in as a way to make us think that GM is cancelling the program based on this bill. I see no other info that would point to this as the reason. :confused You can bet that money was the greatest driver. If anything, development of new V8 engine technology...

    Press: President Bush sounds the death knell for Corvettes and light bulbs

    When will people realize this isn't a liberal or conservative issue? BTW, isn't the governor of Calif. a republican who wants to sue the EPA? ;) ;squint: I highly recommend that you go to China for a month and see what little or no air/water quality regulations can do to your quality of life...

    Price of the 2009 ZR-1

    To everyone talking about the demise of Vette performance because of air quality rules...just remember that there are lots of other high-performance possibilities that could come in the future that will make todays Corvette look very slow. I have a Camry hybrid and a Vette and love them both...
