    Grand Sport Road Trip

    OMG That is REALLY FUNNY! :rotfl:happyanim::L:L Pretty sure I did get Michelins. The UP trip was AWESOME, except for having no "escape" room and running over a dead skunk! :mad Thank goodness the next couple hundred miles was in the rain and finally washed the underside and smell. Just a...

    The Sound And The Fury

    That's a good question. My understanding is that there are baffles fore and aft of the muffler. I cannot see the ones ahead but the ones aft are fully open 100% of the time. As for the lack of "back talk", I've been told that has something to do with the exhaust system upstream of mufflers...

    The Sound And The Fury

    I had a 2013 Grand Sport with the Mild To Wild exhaust option. In the Wild mode, the car had nice rumble at idle and a very aggressive sound through acceleration. Downshifting produced a significant amount of "backtalk" through the exhausts. Today, I have a 2017 Grand Sport, again with the...

    REMO has passed

    Remo the 3rd.... How Wonderful Is That! :upthumbs :thumb I was blessed to spend many hours with Remo over a few Carlisle trips and of course, like so many here, I always laughed at the thought of Cabin Fever and "Remo being off his meds". It was an honor to be his friend. His memory lives...

    Mild To Wild Exhaust

    Is there a fuse for the Mild to Wild exhaust that can be removed, like on the C6? If so, where and which one? Thanks t;)m

    Restorer: Trim & Weather stripping

    Thank you for your thoughts...and btw, I still love that plane & Vette shot! This is the window edge of the windshield pillar. The discolor is not from the flash, but discoloration of the trim material. The pic below is the L side window sill. Same situation but there appears to also be...

    Restorer: Trim & Weather stripping

    Does anyone have experience with DFT REVIVE? I have not been happy with several restorers I have tried, in that they do not seem to really penetrate or bring back the sheen. The trim on window sills seems to show the most weathering, yet the car is rarely in the sun for extended periods. Any...

    Grand Sport After Market Warranty Question

    :thumb Thanks again. I stopped in this morning to talk with the Service Manager I have dealt with since 2003 and the C5. Before doing so, I did some calculations on my past driving with the C5, the 09, and what I have done to date on the GS. Judging from that, and looking at a 5 yr Extd...

    Grand Sport After Market Warranty Question

    Thanks! I agree with everything you've said, although I had no real idea that prices were negotiable. Judging from past performance with the C5 and the avg miles I drove it and my 09, I'm beginning to think the cost of "comfort" may not be worth it. The good news is that I still have time...
