    How old is the "average" C6 buyer?

    70 yo, almost 71. My C6 is # 8 starting with a '58. :v:v:v

    C6 humming noise

    Still have the humming noise from the dashboard! Hib, thanks for your response. I have been off line for awhile, thus the delay in answering. When I turn the switch off and open the door, the noise stops, as the power is taken away. The car was doing this a few times a week at first. Now...

    C6 humming noise

    I have seen this subject mentioned several times over the years but no one seems to have offered a real solution. Often times when I hit a small 'bump' my '05 starts to hum or even roar from the right side of the dashboard. Seems like the sound even comes through the speakers and also has a...

    Review: NXTSTEP Performance Exhaust System

    The drone is not bad at all. You only notice it at lower rpms when pulling away. Cruising, it is easy to control and again not a problem for us. Incidently, we are 'seniors' and probably not the easiest to please. I am pretty sure these are made in the USA. The company is located in CA. As...

    Review: NXTSTEP Performance Exhaust System

    Actually, I should have said the performance is 'good enough for me', as I didn't do any scientific testing. I think the mfg. does claim an increase in HP but that was not my main motivator in the first place. This post was simply to help anyone looking at all the offerings of aftermarket...

    Review: NXTSTEP Performance Exhaust System

    Just had the NXTSTEP Exhaust installed on my '05 C6. The sound is great (meaning the 'little lady' doesn't complain) the performance is good and the fit is perfect! It also has a lifetime warranty which probably will not be necessary since it's all stainless steel construction. Oh, and the best...

    Pulling Codes on a C5

    Hi Gene, This problem is common. Unfortunately, there are no bulbs to replace.................If you search on e-Bay you will find a source for a rebuilt unit that you can swap out and it will solve the 'dim' light problem. Installation is not too bad either. Good luck!:)

    Exhaust Filler Plates- Low Dollar or High?

    Nice looking 'cheap' plate! Tammy, I bought one of these on eBay. It's a plain Jane polished stainless but looks great on the car. Only $ 12.00 including shipping. That's right 12 bucks! CORVETTE 97-04 C5 Z06 EXHAUST ENHANCER PLATE NEW:eBay Motors (item 140350676497 end time Oct-16-09...

    Warning! Got a royal Screwing from Eckler's

    Vote with your $$$$$ It would be a shame to lose a specialty parts supplier for 'our' cars! But, if they can't get the job done, right, just take your business elsewhere! :cool

    Dumb Question #3: Are red 'vettes cop magnets?

    I never thought about it just like that (mistakes....) however they do call it MAGNETIC RED. I never thought much about what it attracted! :L
