Z06 Vert I guess if you've got the bucks you can do anything you want...not that it makes a whole lot of sense IMHO. Do you have any pictures of the bracing on that Z06 converted to a convertible? Love those seats...let me know when they go on sale please.

Beautiful Seats Wow...absolutely spectacular seats...just wish they were a little more affordable. BTW...no such thing as a Z06 Convertible.;LOL Aluminum frame structure of Z06/ZR1 cannot handle Convertible demands. A Convertible (with steel frame structure) can be made to look like a...

NPP std on all Z06 NPP is GM's three letter code for "dual mode exhaust" NPP is an $ option on standard and Z51 corvettes. All Z06's including your Will Cooksie 427 special edition come with this feature - it is not an option. For around $80 you can buy a remote fob activator to override the...

Corvette's Future You guys are depressing me.:eyerole I agree that the Obama administration has no clue how to run a car company and should limit it's roll in making business decisions for GM...but right now what are the choices? Chapter 11 pre-pack is probably the best thing that can happen...

New C7 Wish List 1) Better Seats & Interior #1 priority - Why is the Caddy Nav system so much better than the one in the Vette? - Why? If BMW can sell 3 series with better interiors, why can't we? - Why? 2) Redesigned body (i.e. Stingray) over existing platform which is already...

Best Solution for Cleaning Covette Glass My experience is/was the same with Stoner's Invisible Glass and Newspaper - Not the best results...so I tried a completely different approach with great results. Here's my method: 1) Clay Bar Glass periodically. 2) Polish the glass with DRI WASH 'n...

Future of Corvette Just by the tone of Fritz's voice...he sounds nervous and is trying very hard to hide the fact that he is at the helm of a ship in BIG trouble. Just my read... As for the future of Corvette...pretty safe for now in C6 form, but I would not expect any C4 to C5 type changes...

Looks worthy of serious consideration. A good move by Chevy...regardless of who made the decision to go this route...gotta have change to spur the interest of Corvette enthusiasts. Is red really an option color for a Grand Sport? Isn't that a little sac-religious? I thought all Grand Sports...

Very Sobering! If that video doesn't make you think a little...you've got a screw loose. Definitely a C6Z06, but most corvettes are capable of same result if driven without knowledge and respect. I'm not saying or implying that alcohol was involved in this crash...but I do know for a fact the...

;help The mirror compass on my new Z06 (2009 1LZ) is not calibrated and reads SW when I am heading N. It also shows CAL next to the direction. Does anyone have the procedure for calibrating the compass? I think the dealer overlooked this part when placed in service and I just don't want to...

Replace Management First! Right on Uncle Vito! Management is the FIRST thing that needs to change at GM for sure. I can totally understand the union's frustration when Management leads the marketing and design process into the Vertical model you mentioned and I agree...GM executive are...

Branding - My thoughts only Product Lines Rob " Buick: This brand needs a unique identity and needs to figure out which market it's going to target. Right now it's wallowing in its search and the respirator is starting to fail. In summary, I'm not sure I see that Buick has a place in GM's...

GM Turn-Around Measures I am a CPA and I work on my own. As such if I don't work I do not get paid. Everytime I take a vacation I earn absolutely nothing. With that said I work very hard when I do work (I also try to work as smart as possible using current technology advances) and I am well...
