With the larger valve area of 4 valves, intake velocities drop, hurting low-RPM torque and fuel economy.

Happy Birthday!

The Z06 wheels were already seen in the original spy shots.

The RX-8 is one of the few cars that, to me, actually looks worse in person than it does in photos.

The current official word from GM is that the C6 has been pushed back from Fall 2003 to Late Spring 2004 (as a 2005 model.) Of course, that could change in the future.

Rob is right, there is no change. 2003 Coupe and 'Vert will be: 350 HP 375 ft-lb Torque Manual 360 ft-lb Torque Auto 2003 Z06 will be: 405 HP 400 ft-lb Torque

Mag Red is still available in 2002, but is gone for 2003; probably because the Anniversary color will be similar.

The 50th will not have an LS6 50th will be offered as a Coupe and 'Vert with these colors: Exterior: 94U Anniversary Convertible Top: 54T Anniversary Interior: 154 Anniversary Colors for the normal Coupe and 'Vert will be: 12U Quicksilver Metallic 21U Electron Blue Metallic 40U Speedway White...

When I had a manual Trans Am with CAGS I ended up burning more gas, because I'd just stay in first until I was over 20 mph, no matter how slow I was taking off.

Re: Radar et al Bingo. The less your signature, the harder to pick you out. If you're the only car, then the effective range is lessened. (Nutshell? Where?)

Actually, no. I was the guy to the left of you--sleeping.

You'll gain (a slight bit of) weight as the Corsa is steel and the z06 exhaust is titanium alloy (unless Corsa is building them in titanium now.) I know a few people who have done before and after dynos and none of them saw a performance increase or decrease. What the X-Pipe will do, however...

The cartest program says (once I configured it properly) that the optimum launch with a manual is to rev it up to about 1500 RPM and dump the clutch.

Well, actually, pure titanium is actually weaker than steel. Titanium alloys are what you want. Of course, some forms of steel, such as maraging and 15-5, are stronger than the more common titanium alloys. Pure titanium (Ti) is brittle and weak with a strength of only 150 MPa and a Brinell...

What everyone seems to forget is that part of the C5's price comes from the fact that it is a low-volume vehicle that doesn't share a lot of parts with other vehicles. In fact, the C5 introduced more all-new parts than the C1 did when it first came out. Low volume on a part=higher price. Ever...

I seriously doubt this. Primarily because the C6 will be using a slightly modified C5 frame, whereas the Cien is a mid-engined car.

I'll guess it to be the Red color which rumors keep popping up about.

Some people with this problem have found it to be the alternator. Does the sound become more rapid if you rev it slightly?

First, to be stealthy, you need to either absorb or reflect the radar or laser in such a way as it does not return to the source. Laser relies on wavelengths in the 900-950 nanometer range, which puts it right in infrared territory (not visible to the human eye.) Conventional camera film can...
