Are there decent all-season tires out there in Z06 sizes? I bought my non-Z06 car with Z06 wheels but standard sized tires. Looks dopey and might be a safety issue. But, it's a year-round DD so I need ASRs. Any thoughts?

I can relate. I wobbled between dislike and "so what" re Vettes until 4 years ago when I test drove an LT1 C4. I was shocked that I liked it so much and I bought it a week later! I enjoyed that car immensely every minute I owned it. I could never see trashing the C4 -- but I must admit I like...

Thanks for starting this Remo :beer and a very Merry Christmas to all -- I'm new to the C5 community owing to the attached Christmas (and next Valentines, anniversary and birthday) present. I'm definitely feeling jolly... :lou

Sounds like fun if done well -- I bet most are not. Of course the "true believers" in each camp will hate you. All the more reson to have one!

;shrug A lot going on in here. My observation over the past two years is you can: Appreciate the Corvette heritage Drive your C4 right into the ground (there were over 300K of them made -- plenty of collector/waxer types to preserve a few thousand for my great-grandkids) Drive it fast Know...

Thank goodness I'll never be able to afford it. Not being able to get a manual would really tick me off :chuckle

One more thought -- if your buddy is looking for looks and quality, SLP is the way to go. If he is interested in performance and quality and a more stock look is OK, tell him to save his money and just cut the air filter lid (or buy a cut one so he can save the original) and stick in a K&N...

Sting Ray? They should call it the Flounder because that's what GM's doing.....................

Based on some road test results I quickly checked you are about equal to an "S" Not bad for a car 10 years older and much more affordable!

Congrats on your beautiful '94. There's something about a black LT1, isn't there? This is my first one too -- haven't stopped grinning since I bought it a year ago. You will find keeping it clean a bit of a chore -- but it's a labor of love! Don't forget to wave! :w

Since you want opinions -- I like that stripe kit a lot. It's enough different than the GS (plus no fender stripes) that the whole wannabe thing is not an issue IMHO. Looking at your picture and your wheels, I keep thinking the silver will look MUCH better than black. I'm a pretty stock, no...

Not necessarily -- if it's an automatic, the correction factor would be 18%. So divide 305 by .82 and you get 372 at the crank. Aren't the LS1's rated @ 345 crank HP? If so, 27 HP from the exhaust and CAI would be pretty good, I'd think. Even using 15% (6-spd. correction, I'm told) you would...

Every day. I can't walk by it without wanting to drive it...............:drool:

Lime Rock in July. What a fun weekend. That's my son riding shotgun

From the research I did, the cut lid is a bit more beneficial than just putting in a K&N on C4's -- but it's a matter of the total mod package. I noticed no SOTP improvement when I put mine on, but I was changing the filter anyway and adding a chip and exhaust later. So, to me it was a small...
