what... BSM's ??? that stands for Buick Sedan Moldings. Heck yeah they work. My dad always had those "rub strips" installed on his Oldsmobiles. :)

Handheld programmers get the best results on automatic C5's ... mainly because of the "torque management" system being turned off. On manual shift C5's the TM system never gets activated (unless the abuse mode gets triggered; and then there's a lot more happening than just TM kicking in)...

Torque Management is a system that severly retards the ignition timing during WOT shifts. This keeps wear-n-tear from the tranny; but sadly gives a wimpy "Oldsmobile" type" soft shift. On the 1999-2002 model Predator, the factory TM is automatically disabled when you first load in the...

already have hotel reservations made. This will be our 5th year to attend. By far the biggest gathering of Corvette vendors on the planet.

I was one of the first to own the Diablosport Predator for a C5. Here is what I accomplished using it on my 2002 automatic: 1. loaded the "Performance Tune" program into the cars PCM (which does some tricks with timing). 2. Advanced the timing another 3% 3. Using a wide band O2 setup, I...

AUX 10 from PIE; as long as your factory head unit has the word "BOSE" on it.

understood. :beer

but which set of GM "stadards" are you measuing from ? For the C5, the EMT's had to go for 200 miles with ZeroAirPressure. There were so many complaints about the hard/noisy ride, that for the C6... GM decided that only 100 miles of ZAP driving was needed. So the new "standard" is 100...

they are both good. The Predatopr seems to be picked more often by C5 owners because the Hypertech has a bug - when upgrading the rear axle radio (on the A4) beyond the 3.15

I don't have a problem with non-popups on the Corvette; just look at C5's that have been converted... they look cool. But it's beyond belief that Dave Hill signed-off on the selection for the C6 non-popups. Ugly is an understatement. They're so large that you could store watermelons in them.

I tell ya though, every time I've let one of these "dreamers" drive my 2002... they never try to flaunt their Z3, Z4, Audi A6, 350Z (and a few others I can't remember) ever again. This way I avoid the risky street race. And it's a great way to introduce someone into the world of the Corvette.

a Z3 ???? a Zima 3 :lol: not even close. This is a classic example of a geek - believing every word out of the salesmans mouth - and every word in the brochure. I imagine he still lives in his parents basement. Best way to handle this wanker is to let him drive your Corvette (with you in...

I intentionally ordered my 2002 without the HUD (and without the sport seats). but late this summer I ran into a group purchsed for a HUD upgrade kit. $300 got me a new projector, new wiring harness, new switch/control assembly. I couldn't turn away from that price. It was a nice upgrade to...

Hey, a 1997 can look extremely sharp with newer thin spoke wheels; but AH wasn't introduced until mid 1998 model year (and it was optional until it became standard in 2001) For those with 2001 C5's wanting to know if their LS1 has the LS6 intake manifold or not; the number on the manifold will...

I would avoid local Corvette clubs; mainly because many times the mentality is to suggest "get what I have... because it's the best". :( On the C5, here are some additional things (added along with the great advice that has already been given): in 2001, many things happened to the C5; though...

here's another set of instructions: http://thelapd.com/bezel.htm

Yep; we've never driven our Corvettes there. Probably never will. 7.5 hours drive one way !!!

they really go well with your shale interior.
