    W. T. F.!! $998.00 !!!

    In my experience the stealership charges the book rate if the tech takes that amount of time or less. If the tech runs into issues and it takes longer then the stealership charges the extra hours. As a customer I don't know who gets the money... all I know is it came out of my wallet. That's...

    W. T. F.!! $998.00 !!!

    The pump MSRP is $454.84. Available from GM Parts direct for 236.52. The stealership probably charged you the book rate hours (guessing 3-4) plus coolant, etc. and full MSRP for the pump. Pretty standard from them which is why I only use the stealership for very specific issues. I can't...

    C5 vs. the Field

    If GM marketed the C4 like they did the C5/C6 then the 1991 model year would have been the C5. What I'm getting at is GM used to apply evolutionary changes yearly. If you compared a 1984 to a 1996 Corvette they are similar yet different in the same way that comparing a 1997 to a 2013 would be...

    Question: Which one would you chose?

    A couple of points: The first thousand miles cost way more than the last thousand miles. Convertibles hold their value better in the long run. What I am saying here is if you plan on keeping it for a few years and putting say, 50k miles on it, you will end up with either a 100k mile 'vert or...

    2014 C7 Corvette in Velocity Yellow

    The lighter colors make the front end pop. I love the contrast in the hood vent, lights, side vents, and front grille. But from the rear the whole thing looks confused in lighter colors. The black bottom of the bumper is one thing, but the way the roof line is just sorta out there just makes...

    Do you think the C7 Tailights Look like the Camaro Tail Lights ??

    My guess is they made the Camaro-like so we'd complain about them instead of the huge black plastic looking thing on the bottom half of the bumper. ;) I don't mind the shape of the lights or going away from round ones... I think they look so similar because they both seem to have a lower half...

    Active Rev Matching & CAGS & DOD

    My Dad's 1991 Convertible that he bought new had CAGS and, of course, was L98 powered. The salesman made no mention of it and my Dad was frustrated as hell with the car for the first few days because it would lock him out of gears randomly. Once he figured out the pattern he got around it for...

    C4 The Most Maligned Model?

    My opinion is the C4 will go down as the most driven Corvette out of all the generations. They are technical but still maintainable. They drive as well as any modern day car... hop in a late 70's and earlier Vette and drive down the highway going 75 and it sounds like the engine wants to blow...

    Dual Mass Flywheel, Solutions and Options Survey

    I opted to go with Fidanza lightweight version. Noise was definitely higher but the difference in revving was noticeable. I still have my original Dual Mass, the new owner never picked it up. It was fine but since I wasn't sure when the clutch blew and I wanted more performance anyway I...

    Important! Information Regarding 2012 and 2013 Corvette Production

    Considering this new 'vert is going to come in at 100k (plus or minus 10k based on options etc.) you would think they could throw on some painted stripes. I don't mind decals but putting them over the entire car as racing stripes is 6 banger mustang territory. I'm very happy they finally...

    Find my old Corvette(s)?

    I don't have the VIN numbers, I might be able to figure it out through ownership, but it will be though. this is more of a request of anyone that might know the cars. Around town, car shows, whatever.

    Question: C4 Caliper Color Change Options

    I have used rustoleum with a brush and it was fine. If you are searching for perfection, then don't do it, but if you are ok with a 2 foot paint job it comes out great. Very cheap, very easy. No one will ever notice it isn't quite perfect unless they are down on their knees cleaning the...

    Find my old Corvette(s)?

    I'd really like to buy one of my old Corvettes back... anyone know where they may be? 1993 Quasar Blue / Gray, 6-speed Coupe. Very base model. standard seats, power driver seat, manual passenger. Painted top only, and it had a funky headliner material. Standard A/C. Stereo was a double din...

    you would think Corvette Fever would be smart enough to put the top in the back the correct way.

    LT4 CE LT4 caliper color?

    The factory letters are not actually white but natural aluminum. Factory is black/silver aluminum letters. I did mine in red because it matched the interior and the LT4 under the hood!

    1998 electrical reset

    I changed the battery in my Dad's 1998 a couple months ago. My wife drove it and it died. I jumped it, took it home, changed it out. I barely drove it after that but now that he has it he has noticed an odd thing... The dash resets and it loses some memory. The key fob doesn't work after a...

    SES Light But No Stored Code???

    It is confusing on the 1996 because some of the codes are in there if you paper-clip it. The key is only the codes that are backwards compatible made it, so just because it reads nothing in the paper-clip method doesn't mean there are no codes.
