    Grand Sport Considering a C6 GS…

    Having owned a 2004 coupe, 2005 convertible and now a 2010GS convertible, the Grand Sport is the best. I loved the body style first over a base C6. I always liked the Z06 style and wanted a convertible that matched. I have about 30,000 miles and have had no problems, except with tires as shown...

    Oil smell after oil change

    Also have this problem on 2010 GS convertible, no dry sump. Thought it was lax service tech, but it happens every time I change the oil. Just drive it awhile and it clears up. Still curious where the oil is coming from. I have looked and do not see it spilled from the top on exhaust.

    Detailing C6's

    Great Choice! Have the same car, 2010 GS convertible for a couple of years, love it even though black is hard to keep clean. Looking at possible C7 convertible or 427 convertible next, not sure but will wait to see what C7 convertible looks like in person.

    2014 C7 Corvette Stingray Unveiled!

    2014 Corvette Reading thru these threads it's is obvious everyone is entitled to their opinion. After following the GM teasers and pictures of the C7 in Car and Driver, I actually like the new car. I also see the Ferrari and Camaro likeness in parts of it, however, it is a crisp new car...

    Very simple C6 ipod installation

    John: The lockpick works great, however, on the convertible, it took a little longer than I would have thought to get it installed, enjoy.

    On Star Connection Lost

    Good luck with those guys. Had a Hummer that locked the doors automatically all the time and would lock you out of the car. Called onstar to unlock, never happened, Finally got rid of it. Do not use in C-6, seem to be a waste of money if they can't open a car when you are in a snowstorm and...

    Electric Top Problems

    Have a 2005 convertible that I have sent to the shop several times to get the top to open or close, you never know what will happen. It appears to be out of whack and will partly close and sometime jam the deck lid into the glass. They have set the codes several time, told me it works, and...

    !@#$%^ NAV System

    c5vetter: Had the same problem this last weekend on returning from Eureka Springs. Set navigation to home and it appeared to send us on the scenic route. It would have taken a navigator to find the roads it picked. I stopped several times looking at signs, but just kept going. It probably...

    Last Chance to Change My Order!!!!

    I agree, however, if you like the red best why not sell the C-1 and buy another red. I think the blue would look good in my garage. Good luck.

    Question: Opinions on XM Radio?

    Also have it in another car and the house. My wife loves it, I can take it or leave it. Seems like the channels I like play songs you have never heard of before, however, no commercials is a bonus. Also, traveling long distances or in areas with no quality is a bonus. If it makes my wife...

    2008 Service Traction Reduced Engine Power

    Looks like this is a continuous problem with the steering wheel. My 2005 vert had a problem when I tilted the wheel and the dic would come on. The last time was in the shop for 2 weeks. I also told them about the wiring problem and supposedly they ordered a new one that took forever to get...

    Questions for C6 Convertible owners.....

    I have a 2005 convertible with 5,000 miles. My wife and I took a long trip in October. We did have some problem with what we could take in the trunk. However, we found that you can use additonal space with the top up. So we did not get to drive to our destination top down. However once...

    CoverKing Car Cover Group Purchase on Satin Stretch and StormProof 20% Off

    I had a storm proof for my 2004 and it fits my 2005, however, I haven't used it because I worried that since it wasn't fleece lined if it will scratch the paint. Anyone have one that can advise. By the way, I really like the way it fits the car.
