    LT4 New LS3 but still like LT4's

    My 96 is a CE - Collector's Edition with the LT4 and Z51 suspension, most options and 26K unmolested miles. I had it for sale but the market is soft. It sits under a cover in storage, begging to be driven...

    Grand Sport 2011 Carbon Z06 vs 2010 GS vs 2002 Z06

    Watch here: http://vettetube.com/view_video.php?...1afaf7859c5076 This was up on the Z06 forum and it is a great tribute to the GS. However the 0 to 60 times seems slow after reading other test reports on the GS.

    LT4 New LS3 but still like LT4's

    That is a great article in CM and I enjoyed that comparison too. That would make you Mr. Robert Rissman. I like your car as I had a Torch Red 96 LT4 configured as yours also, that car set the bench mark for me and after selling it and buying an LT5 ZR1 I really missed the LT4 and I had to have...

    LT4 New LS3 but still like LT4's

    In mid June I took delivery of a 2010 GS with the only engine offered, the LS3. After 1000 miles on the C6 I've decided to keep my CE LT4, I'm keeping the GS too. I had the LT4 on the market but prices are soft these days and I feel the LT4 will command more in terms of resale value some day...

    XM Radio

    In the mail today I receive from XM verification of a one year subscription with the options I have on the GS. As usual most guys on this list and buying a car like this know more about the features of it than do the dealers. Does anyone subscribe to On-Star?

    Hud

    I'm new to the HUD system. My new 2010 GS has it and I notice that it is somewhat slanted with the left hand side higher than the right side. The angle is about 5 degrees to the horizon and even more when compared to the slopping hood. There is no adjustment in this axis that I see, the...

    XM Radio

    Just receive my 2010 GS and the window sticker as well as the advertisement brochure states a one year subscription to XM comes with the car. During the acceptance discussion with the dealer he presented me with a 90 day subscription. I questioned him and he made a couple of calls to confirm it...

    Grand Sport Hello...new member with 2011 GS Coupe

    Very cool. It is hard to believe that my 2010 GS that I ordered and receive one month ago is already one year old! What are some of the differences of the 2011 vs. 2010? Thanks and congrats on the new ride. Al

    Grand Sport Who Built Your Grand Sport Engine?

    The tag is on the right hand side - the passenger side of the engine. My tag says Mike Armstrong on it. Does anyone know how they first start these engins at Wixom or do they even start them at Wixom? Maybe the first running of the LS3 is in the car... I'd like to know how it all works... Al

    Grand Sport Oil pressure on 2010 Grand Sport

    Feel better now Hib? Thanks for the clarification or should I say the English lesson, I thought I was back in grade school there; Spell Check must have let me down, again… With respect to synthetic oils, there are many reports as to piston powered aircraft engines that typically run at 75% +...

    Grand Sport Oil pressure on 2010 Grand Sport

    Hi Hib, Help me understand why Red Line @10W30 is better than what GM recommends, notably Mobile 1 5W30. I'm well aware of the function of oil in piston powered aircraft engines and I believe that high performance automobile oils to be similar. Are there additives in the Red Line oil that...

    Grand Sport Ordering a New Grand Sport

    I have 70 miles on it and we're headed to the wine country this morning. It is I-90 from Seattle via Snoqualmie Pass to Yakima and further east, 200+ miles each way. My initial thoughts are the GS is quick, as in responsive. Unlike the big tires on the ZR1 that would grab the ruts in the road...

    Grand Sport Ordering a New Grand Sport

    The dealer called me today and said the GS had arrived! The build and ship date was 5/4/10 and the arrival date is today 5/12/10. As mentioned above by NORTY it came on a truck from Bowling Green in 6 working days, unbelievable. I told them to call me before they touched and they did, so I went...

    Which trans did you order? I'm sorry if anybody likes the automatics but to me a Corvette without a clutch is like a marriage withouut sex, why go there? I have the 6 speed manual coming. Also it has both tops, indoor cover, nav package, dual mode exhaust, 3LT interior, light silve paint...

    Grand Sport Ordering a New Grand Sport

    Well I’m really pumped about this. Thanks for the info on the LS3 heads. I know this engine is special and I’ll have to drive it to see it. The dealer is quoting 9 to 12 weeks delivery after I pushed the issue. That puts delivery in mid June. I wanted the museum delivery option but my schedule...

    Getting more HP out of the LS3, what would you do? Exhaust, intake, cam??? The machine has 376 cubes with a trick crank and hand built so I don't think touching the lower end is in my cards. Forced induction is of interest as a friend has an LS2 with twin turbos and it does something llike 520...
