I think that it is too early to be concerned over the future of the Vette. My C6 gets 30-31 MPG, on Interstate trips to Bowling Green. The coming 35 MPG CAFE standards will be averaged over the Chevy fleet. So a hybred Cobalt would benefit Corvettes, to maintain a respectable level of...

If I had just paid $660K on a car, I would be upset with the "Last Sting Ray" window decals, on the front and rear windows. Those decals were not on the car, while it was making the Corvette "circuit." I would lose those REAL fast!!! I wonder how much change they dropped on promotion of the...

How much $$$ did ProTeam put into the restoration? For all of ProTeam's efforts, I bet they barely broke-even on the deal. Gburg

Nobody noted the license tag numbers or what state issued the tags. It would be more helpful. Gburg

GREAT NEWS!!!! I was concerned that after last year's restrictions, the C6R entries would not be out on the racing circuits. With no Aston Martin or Saleen factory supported entries, perhaps 2007 will be the year of C6R "demonstration drives". :w Gburg

I had a few extra psi (35+) in the tires so, that they would not go down parked in the garage for 6 or more days. With the continued warm weather (mid - high 50s), I decided to exercise my 400 ponies. It rained all MLK weekend but I did not care. Nothing the car wash will not cure. So, I...

In the program it is said that the radio can not be heard over the "excessive" noise from the tires. What rubbish that is!!!! These Brits probably could not find the radio volume control or knew how to kick-off the mute button. What total nonsense about driving over a pebble on the road, and...

I did a search for tire recommendations from both the Tire Rack and Discount Tire web sites, and got two interesting responses......... On the Tire Rack website, I selected the following tire brands: BFGoodrich, Bridgestone, Dunlop, Firestone, Goodyear, Hoosier, Michelin, Pirelli, Uniroyal...

Alain de Cadenet is less annoying than the other Brits on UK produced car review shows. No sorry attempts of trying being to be entertaining and hip. No strained smart aleky jokes. I can tolerate de Cadenet; he does a good job. I like the bloke, as a matter of fact. I expected more from his...

For those of you that have digital cable tv service, check-out the new offering on your local Speed Channel: On Demand channel. For the Columbus, Ohio Warner-Cable market this is channel #1170. Check-out Alain de Cadenet's "Victory by Design: Corvette." de Cadenet tries to cover all...

I think that CR compiles reports on cars over a four or five year period and then averages the results. This may be a ding for the C6, since it has been out only since 2005. The roof delamination issue does not help. BTW, after receiving the recall letter from GM, my C6 was given a clean bill...

Has anybody been to American Le Mans series events at the Mid-Ohio Raceway, near Lexington, OH (Mansfield)? There will be a race the weekend of May 19-21. Corvettes (C6R), Porsche, BMW will be featured, in the race. I have never been there. Ever had any problems getting out of the infield...
