I have a 2007 ZO6 with 40000 mi. on it. I haven't experienced any obvious issue with the engine at this point; however, a local Corvette shop has recommended that I have the heads removed and examined to prevent the possibility of major damage to the engine. Is this a good idea? Does anyone...

I just received a recall notice for roof replacement on my 2007 ZO6. I bought the car new in July 2006 and have about 19000 mi. on it. As far as I can tell, there are no indications of any problem. The fit and finish of the roof seem perfect. Nevertheless, I'm assuming that in order to protect...

USA1Z06 Thank you very much. Now I'm confident I have the correct windshield ( GM Part Number 25821511 ). Your information confirms what the Parts Manager at my dealership was telling me, that either number would be correct. I might mention that Safelite did a good job installing the...

Woz Z06 Thank you for the picture. My new windshield does indeed have this exact information on the lower right corner. You are correct about there being different part numbers ( and different printed text ) on HUD and non HUD windshields. Thanks again. The Bugster

I ended up putting Bridgestone Pole Position Runflats on my 2007 Z06, replacing my Goodyear RF's after 15000 mi. I love these tires. I've put about 750 mi. on them on both dry and wet roads and they perform superbly. As an added bonus they are far quieter than the Goodyears were. I had the...

Thanks very much for the info.

I also was wondering about the General Exclaim UHP Summer tires. They are available from Tire Rack in the stock size for the 2007 ZO6 for $807 per set delivered , or about half the price of the Goodyears or Bridgestones. They are not runflats so it's likely they're much quieter and less harsh...

Hi c4c5 Thanks for the reply. I'm still puzzled because I do have GPS and it works fine with the installed windshield. The parts guy at my dealership (who had my VIN) at first said I had the wrong one but after more extensive searching said the one I had was correct. GPS wouldn't work with the...

Does anyone know the correct GM part number for a 2007 ZO6 replacement windshield? I've been given different numbers by two different dealers. One number is 15778613, the other is 25821511. The latter numbered windshield was installed in my car today. It seems fine except that the HUD is lower...

Motorman--Thank you for some really sound advice. You are absolutely right. Pocono is a very high speed course. I used to race there in SCCA events and I've run my Pantera there many times in car club events, but I haven't run my ZO6 there. The ZO6 will be faster and it's been several years...

Hib, thank you for your very informative response. I should have realized that my Ford GT buddy couldn't have known what he was talking about! I'll go ahead and change the fluid. Also, I agree that participating in an actual race would negate the warranty. This event is a car club track day for...

I am planning to run my 2007 ZO6 in a track event at Pocono Raceway on Memorial Day. Tech Inspection requires at least DOT 4 brake fluid. The ZO6 comes with and specifies DOT 3 fluid. Is there any problem with flushing and refilling the system with a DOT 4 fluid, such as Castrol LMA? Also, many...

You didn't miss anything except the facts. Please read my initial thread a little more carefully.

Many thanks for the info. I picked up a can today at the local auto parts store.

NORTY, thank you again for your very helpful response. I had seen those carbon strips when we were cleaning the intake, but neither of us knew what they were. After receiving your info, I talked to my dealer's mechanic and he said that one of them had been partially loose and he had pressed it...
