    Need Large Quality C1 Pictures, can you help

    Well, I am afraid I cannot help in taking a picture of my own, but doing a little searching on the net I have found a few images that might help. Also, what size resolution are you looking for? That might help others in the future. http://www.daytona24.de/shirts/corv58/corv58s.jpg...

    So what car are you?

    I must have hit the nail on the head! I knew it was to be. However, here is what sports car my wife is....

    Are C4 prices still falling or rising yet?

    The C4 market is a hard one to get a grasp on. It really depends on what year you are looking for, mileage, condition, and any special editions. 1984's are I believe the cheapest overall. You can usually find a decent one that needs some work for $4500 with 100k+ miles. If you are looking...

    Horse Power for 1982

    Sounds like someone has caught the Speed disease. None of us "need" to go fast, but we all want that assurance that we can right? I take it you are using the original block? No longer have the Cross Fire injector. Do you have an auto or manual trans? Exhaust upgrade is usually one of the...

    lt-1 value question

    One of the reasons the F-bodies LT-1's have less ponies is because it is a two bolt main instead of a four bolt main like the Corvette's. So the LT-1's he has may only be a two bolt system. You have to remember, that the 300hp is with all the stock compents in place. Put on headers, high flow...

    ZR-1 or Grand Sport??

    Why not go for both of them? Ok ok, I know that isn't the answer you were looking for. Both have ups and downs I suppose. The LT5 is less known about as far as internal operations compered to the LT4. Man, this is a tough decision. The ZR1 had five years, the '96 Grand Sport was of course...

    tool you might want

    Of course not... You want to keep your legs warm especially when it is so cold outside. It also looks like there might be enough room in front for a radiator.

    super vette in the superbowl ad

    You must have been watching the "widescreen" edition that stretched the image a bit. It looked normal to me. But I'll take another look at it.

    A Mustang Wagon

    You wouldn't be rolling around laughing if someone took Sweet ole' 67 Heaven and turned it into a four door station wagon would you? Well, I guess it would look just as silly. Someone really is on something now at the Ford Mustang devision aren't they?

    News: Garage fire in Pa. claims classic Corvette

    And the values of the Zr-1's go up just a little more. It is sad to hear something like this happen though. Just seems crazy that a little "electrical problem" can destroy so much. Glad to hear everything was insured, and that no one was hurt, but all the same, still scary.

    A Mustang Wagon

    Oh how I cannot resist to post this. Just found this article on the Cnn.com website about the possibility of a four door mustang. Glad to see we are not the only ones that have some complaints with the automaker at times. We talk about the V6 corvette as being a bad idea (or good to some)...

    2002 Z28 Fun (What was the Proper Response?)

    Wouldn't confuse me at all. I actually still wave at every Vette that I see passing (you can ask my wife) no matter what year. I still have yet to get a wave back, but I have never had anyone give me an ugly look or peel out or anything for waving. I've had a good run with a 90 before, but...

    Would You Buy One?

    Can I get a 'ell yes? If I could afford one, I know I would get one. However, the next Vette I get will be a little older, not because they are typically cheaper, but because I love the styling.

    Corvette to sport Chevy's gold bow-tie?

    I am wondering if Chevy is trying to go the way of Dodge? Creating a "design synergy across Chevy models" is something that Dodge is already doing. Starting with their flagship car the Viper and taking that design cue and moving it across their fleet. The Ram Pickup The Magnum The...

    Next generation Corvette

    I am not sure they would do a complete new generation so soon. All the Corvette generations have lasted a long time. The C3 for 14 years, the C4 for 12 years, and the C5 for 8 years. So while they are getting closer in years for the new generations, I am not sure they are going to do one in...

    still figuring out this vette thing

    Thats a good though John, an indication might be a code though if the L98 has rear O2 sensors, which I am not sure that it does. Lets keep up with the small changes and the easy changes first, then we'll get into engine and exhaust issues.

    still figuring out this vette thing

    Well, having a little more information on the cars background it does sound like it should have more power then what you are telling us. If the engine was truly rebuilt with quality parts and the transmission was just rebuilt, then this should be a good little Corvette. When the engine was...

    still figuring out this vette thing

    Don't let these little things tick you off so quickly. Part of the fun is getting your hands dirty and working on these beautiful pieces of art. I have a few more questions for you about your 88 coupe. Is it a standard or auto? How many miles? Do you know the history of this car? Tell us a...

    still figuring out this vette thing

    HPG is right, there is no need to put your foot in the gas when starting the car. It is all electronic any more. The only thing that might help that I have noticed for my own car is to turn the car to the on position for about three seconds and then turn fully to start the beast. This gives...

    Maryland Front Tag? Dad Almost Arrested!

    I have been looking for anything that could help your dad out here, but have so far come up only with a group that has created a petition. Most of their reasons for getting rid of the front plate sounds kinda flakey to me, but the last point about other states that have taken away the front...
