    GM Press Release: Corvette Z06 Sprints to 60 mph in Less than 3 Seconds

    So is this thread turning in to a Hellcat -vs- Z06 comparison? Or a thread about Street Tires -vs- Drag Tires? They are both valid comparisons to some extent, but probably better suited for their own thread...?

    Important! Its official. 2015 Z06 will have 650 HP and 650 lb-ft torque!!!

    S-I-C-K! :_rock That torque band....OMFG!!! At IDLE, it has more torque than most consumer vehicles on the road! :Silly Not bad for 'prehistoric pushrod technology'. (Eyeing you, ricers!) Now, will it be priced higher than a ZR-1???? What about a used ZR-1? Not that I can afford either...

    RetroSound's Model 1 and my experience...

    Yeah, I'm sure. I'd love(?) to see if they would even agree to do that in an older car, especially one that requires cutting.:ohnoes

    GM Recall - Ignition Switches and Airbags: Is the media portraying the whole picture?

    Your findings quite possibly warrant a thread unto itself rather than to be eventually buried in here... :thumb

    GM Recall - Ignition Switches and Airbags: Is the media portraying the whole picture?

    :hijack...ON... Maybe the engineers ran out of time and simply grabbed the designs of the '80 Corvette??? :L :hijack...OFF...

    Corvette Action Center to Attend New York Auto Show in April

    Ron, quit being so darned greedy! :eyerole Rob, I'm not nearly that greedy. I'll happily take any color Z06 and whatever rims come with it. :L

    News: Prosecutors: Two suburban men ran $1.5 million Corvette theft ring

    Guess they figured nothing of value on my car... :thumb Interesting that they targeted the dealerships. What exactly was the best way to steal new C6's? Were these guys really technical and able to spoof the fobs, or did they have people inside each dealership to supply them the fobs? Were...

    Dropping the TH350 1980-82 Years?

    I have some recollection of dropping my trans. Did not enjoy it! Enjoyed even less the process of putting a 7400R4 in there! What's the reason that you're subjecting yourself this?

    RetroSound's Model 1 and my experience...

    Your posts were almost one year to the day. I take it RetroSound was of no use in terms of customer support? $270 for a radio was not inexpensive... I have an old Radio Shack branded (whatever their brand is, "Realistic"?) post-style head unit that I'd been holding onto for years. It had an...

    Site Update: Corvette Amazon Shopping Mall Released

    Everyone, this is a GREAT way to help out the CAC and still get your purchases fulfilled via Amazon. There's no surcharge that you get hit with, but the CAC gets a "finder's fee" of sorts, so any item big or small helps! :upthumbs

    Which tires for my 1980

    Try2pas, are you a sporting driver? Or just a casual burble around town with the occasional jab at the throttle? If you're the latter, stick with 15's and BFG T/A's. If you want to start getting a more planted feel to the road and feel like you can actually take a corner at speed, you need...

    Additional oil filter capacity

    More filter surface means more usable area to trap particulates, no? And given the same amount of hours put on the engine using the smaller filter, this filter should remain 'as efficient' for a longer period of time. Why else do people use higher capacity filters. And "making me happier" is...

    Is a C7 Corvette ZR1 Truly Off the Radar?

    //THREAD HIJACK ON I definitely like the idea of AWD and I know it's been kicked around time and time again, at least as much as a mid-engine setup...well, maybe not that much. But adding the additional mass of an AWD system certainly has it's PROS & CONS. The PROs are obvious. Under the...

    Additional oil filter capacity

    Was wondering if anyone else has switched up their oil filter to the higher capacity equivalent? (I use all Mobil-1 oil & filters in my car) I was kicking around in their website just looking for the sake of looking and I found what seem to be identical filters except that one is a higher...

    Is a C7 Corvette ZR1 Truly Off the Radar?

    And people will still find something cosmetic to complain about or something, and then end their little diatribe with, "...What was GM thinking??? That's why I'm not gonna buy one. I'm keeping my C6-whatever!" :eyerole :L</your>

    News: 2015 Corvette Z06 Details Leaked!

    "Blowers" - Efficiency across the board. If you can generate the same power with better efficiency, then the cubes aren't needed. Yes, "There is no replacement for displacement." Take a bigger engine and then force-feed it, you'll have more power. But that's not the point here. They had...
