    Nope - Too Ferrari!

    No problem. I actually love the quad roundish tail lights for one. Its just something that says Corvette. I can handle the slight variations of the tail lights throughout the years, but they can leave that nasty bezel out lol. But I think we will all be surprised when the only thing accurate...

    Nope - Too Ferrari!

    Actually, the last 2 years of C1 started the quad round tail lights and the C4s had round tail lights from 84 Through 90, 91 started the rounded squares.

    PlastiDip

    Tonight I bought some PlastiDip to flat black my targa, and then after I saw the results, I did the rear diffuser and driver's side fender hash marks. Let me know what you guys think. You'll have to see them in my PlastiDip album because I can't attach them for some reason from my phone. I liked...

    Best Column Lock Fix for a Manual C5 (Cheap and permanent, and harmless)

    I know they are high fail. But the Borg Warner one is made of brass and is heavier and beefier than the aluminum one. Everywhere I read said they had no problems with this model after the repair. I didn't do the relocation because I just wanted to make sure this was the only problem, and not...

    Best Column Lock Fix for a Manual C5 (Cheap and permanent, and harmless)

    I recently picked up the AC Delco 78PS so it is correct now, and I replaced my OPS the hard way (I can't just yank the intake in my parking lot at the apartment lol). Worst idea ever. This is the second replacement. During my deployment, my girlfriend's dad took it in for the OPS and I...

    Best Column Lock Fix for a Manual C5 (Cheap and permanent, and harmless)

    To anyone who is having the column lock issue in a manual car with the lock plate removed (as per the recall) to do this! Go to your local Tuner shop, and have them disable the circuit and set the fuel cutoff at 255 mph. Disabling the circuit will stop the status reports that cause the error...

    Another Service Column Lock Question

    BTW, This guys first response was "Turn that shit off!" The guy had me slip him $40. I heard the Lock actuate a couple times, and had the Pull key wait 10 sec ONCE at first startup, then cleared all the BCM faults, and nothing else with it since, if it somehow finds a problem now, no fuel...

    Another Service Column Lock Question

    Even better! After the second huge issue with the dreaded column lock, after the run around with the dealer, I went to Dyno Tuned Performance. Since my wheel has the lock plate removed, I can't have a real lock issue, I now have the speed for fuel cutoff set at 255, and the circuit removed from...

    Help! Tranction System Activates after Brake Job

    Hey, i know this is way too late, I was just browsing through old threads. I recently read about an issue with C5s having the wheel speed sensors start acting goofy when the rubber brake lines off the caliper are replaced with stainless steel ones or others. Just a heads up, if anyone else has a...

    Hey Mikey/C6 CRZN - Here's a good shot of the new 2012 seat...

    Anyone know if the 2012 seats are changeable with C5 seats? Just wondering because that seat might be a better custom seat for my 2002 than just changing colors and stuff. Any info would be great. Thanks guys.

    2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Spy Photos

    Actually, the hood looks longer in comparison side by side with a C6, at the same time the bottom of the nose seems to have an upward slope toward the front as opposed to being parallel to the groung. The roofline seems to slope backward more than a C6. It looks faster standing still. Overall...

    C7 article in AutoWeek

    I don't think the regular position of the tranny will return. I believe the transaxle is going to stay. If this is a C7 chassis, I think the only reason for the wheels being closer to the front would be a longer, more agressive hood style. Like the C4. However, the redesign of the C5 made 18...

    Yeah, I loved the C4 alot. I love all Vettes equally, with a bias toward mine, obviously a sentimental thing. I'll never forget my first lol ;) I loved the wipers thatt went the opposite way, the clamshell, the true 350 (although the LS1 is much better). I just enjoy the better performance and...

    I did something naughty yesterday...

    I went up to 150 in an empty HOV lane on rte 264 in VA. It was such an adrenaline rush, all the wavy spots that are far away?.... yeah, they are extremely close together when you are hauling at 150 lol. Also, it was more of a rush when you accelerate from about 50 all the way up in 5th... You...

    Strange noise from rear end?

    Changing colors

    I just scrubbed it with the foaming brush. I sprayed the brush with the power wash first to make sure there was no debris that could scratch the paint... I had taken it to a car wash and only sprayed it a few times right before this, the brush was the only thing that worked. I'm not saying this...

    Changing colors

    How bad does it actually look? My red 2002 C5 was looking pretty dark up front and in the back (it literally looked like a different color), turns out it was just in need of a good scrub. Mine was probably brake dust up front and smoked in the rear, the sprayer didn't do anything. If you...

    Didn't trade Vette for Vette. Just traded it in, bought this almost 2 years after trade in.

    Definitely not due to an accident lol. Traded it in about 13 months after buying, dumb idea, but I'm much happier with the C5. This was the reason I know what a Corvette is. (I was only 8 when the C5 came out in 1997 lol, I had the Hot Wheels 97 Vette lmao) My obsession grew alot.
