    GM Press Release: It's Official! 2015 Corvette Z06 coming to Detroit in January!

    My Condolences! Hey guys, take it from an old fart with 25,000 miles on a 2010 Callaway GS. LIfe's too short to sit in the garage and admire a great car, go out and drive the wheels off of it. When final check out comes you're only going to regret the things you didn't do. RocketJ

    Anyone know where to get a Nice C5 Z06 Jacket

    Iron Ranger 30 I bought a couple really nice jackets from (CORVETTES) a few years ago. They are wind breaker style. He will customize the embroidery showing the back of your car with your license plate number . In my case he also put in my small rear spoiler and Corsa Tiger Shark exhaust. In...

    C5 oil change special procedure??

    I've been changing my own oil on my 03 coupe since new and have it down to a science. Using a low profile jack I lift the car from the front drivers side lift point. I place a jack stand under the front suspension, in case jack fails while I'm under the car. Remove drain plug and start draining...

    Passenger mirror goes haywire with "memory"

    After this past winter's storage I also had problems with the passenger side mirror. It would adjust left right, but not up and down. I checked for error codes and the computer recognized the proplem with the passenger mirror. Don't remember the exact code, but it was for a fault with the right...

    Tail light seals...an easy mod...

    I installed the seals about a month ago, I really like them. They really do keep all the crud from getting behind your tail lights. Bulb replacement should not be a problem, as the seal stays with the tail light assembly upon removal. So bulb replacement is the same as the stock lenses. RocketJ

    another oil change???

    cruzer82, I'm aware thar bearing clearances determine viscosity. I'm just following the owners manual. GM puts their blessing on 10W30 as long as you drive above 30 deg F. Being I store the car in the winter this should not be a problem. RocketJ

    another oil change???

    I found the fastest way to replace the oil properly is to jack the car up from the front driver side jacking point. With the car up I slide a jackstand under the front suspension, for safety reasons. If everything goes as planned the jackstand never touches the car. Just there in case the floor...

    3M ClearMask, anybody ever used it?

    I used the Cleartastic kit to cover the vunerable points around the wheel wells. When I first put the kit on it looked alright, barely noticeable. However, after driving for a few miles brake dust would settle along the edges of the film, sort of outling them, looked like hell. Its too time...

    What Color Choice If You Ordered a 2005 C6?

    Actually the first of the C6's were still millineum yellow, they discontinued MY around May of this year and replaced it with Velocity Yellow, which has more green in the color. We were down at the assembly plant during the CAC cruisefest when they were in the middle of the switch over so we...

    Cracked parking/drl lenses

    Vetteman, I have had no problem with my 03, but I ran into a fellow at a rally this past spring with an 04, and both his lenses were cracked with less than 4k miles on the car. He seemed to think it was a problem more wide spread than just his case. His dealer was going to replace his lenses...

    Corsa Installed

    Nice looking setup Gus. I put the same system on my 03 last year. This year I added long tube headers and hi flow cats, it really sings now. Did you spray that photo radar blocking stuff on your rear plate? Your back plate looks just like the ad for the stuff. RocketJ
