I'm also a member of the polo club. Polo green is one of the classiest colors to appear on a corvette ever. It reminds me of Brittish racing green. :beer

I guess the story is at the last minute the guy found out the lot he bought the car from likely rolled back the odometer mileage, based on carfax information. He claims ebay wouldn't allow him to pull the auction so he had a friend from the same town put in the crazy $20,000 bid to end the...

Nah, check out ebay auction # 250153212068. :boogie

I'd love to put a V8 chevy engine in every car I own. It would definately wake my honda up! :D

The dual overhead cam 32 valve ZR-1 sounds better than any car in the world when its pulling hard. :BOW

I give the new pony cars the brick award. ;LOL;LOL;LOL

The C4 at about 3300 pounds has a weight advantage of 300-700 pounds over many of the high performance cars of today. The new GTO weighs about 400 pounds more. The same goes for the new Charger and Mustang. The dealers are quick to advertise the 400+ horsepower but they don't mention the cars...

You're going to take a hit on depreciation if you buy a C5 or even an LT1 that will rival or surpass the $7,000. If you pay $25,000 for a C5 today, you may be selling it for $8,000 in ten years. The bottom line is you are probably going to put more money in than the monetary value you can get...

I think I'll just do a hose or two at a time. :beer I think the exhaust manifolds look like they're made of cast iron. They must have gone with the cast iron material for its ability to handle the heat without warping or cracking. I think I'll leave them as is. Sanding them down and...

I'd say shop around, don't settle for anything less than the color, trim, condition, and transmission you are looking for. There are a lot of C4s out there for sale. Polo green is a great color that has a nice deep shine when cleaned up, but like black tends to show any dust, dirt or pollen...

And one last thing, polo green corvettes rule, the starter of this thread made a good choice in color. :D

Thanks B17Crew, I will save this you have provided a lot of great information on engine detailing. I plan to do it little by little as time permits, I feel better knowing it is possible to bring an engine back to its original luster with a little elbow grease and the right detailing products...

B17Crew's LT4 looks just perfect, I would like to get my engine to look like his, someday it will. My past owners apparently drove in the elements so there is a lot of dirt to remove and I need to find a way to make the silver parts look new again. The outside layer seems to oxidize and...

Mine ran out of gas, I was trusting the electronics and it said I still had a range of 30 miles even though I was on reserve. No problem right? Wrong! I ran out of gas on the interstate about 2 miles away from the exit where I intended to buy gas. It started to pour so I put on my roof...

Well I think I exaggerated, it would get pretty expensive driving one into the ground every few years. :W
