I've been looking at the C5 Z's and C6's a lot lately. If you're trying to sell in the $30's, it will probably sit for a while. When you get into the $30's, you're talking C6 territory there. I would check KBB, NADA as well as Edmunds. The variation on them is quite a bit, IMO. But you...

Wow, life has been busy. Just wanted to give a bump with updated prices. Everything Amsoil has to offer is available to the CAC at cost.

That's what I'm going to do.

Most of the ones that I've seen, the sellers still want $36k+. I specifically am looking for: C6 '07-'09, Z51, 3LT, comp wheels. I don't really care for NPP or Nav. Seems most have NPP, Nav is probably half and half. I read about folks spending <$35k for what I'm looking for but I...

The new GS seems to be pretty cool. Still out of my price range but reading about it is free!:L I'm looking into a '07-'09 Z51 myself. Might wait until Christmas time or so for that to happen.:D

My neighbor insisted that I drive his C5. I was kind of disappointed by it. It seemed like the car wasn't that much better, ride quality wise, than my '88. The seat belts were the same!:eyerole But his was an automatic, obviously not a Z06 so I would have to try a Z06 before I decided to...

And my dilemma is that I don't want to wait 2 years! ;LOL Well, that and I think that 405-430 (base C6) horsepower is plenty enough for my needs.

I've been looking into C5 Z06's myself. Got rid of the '88 and would like something more modern and advanced. With the GF talking about a ring, I don't know if a C6 is something I could get away with at this point.:L I've seen the C5 Z06 prices all over the place. Seen a Z16 go for $28,500...

Here is another option for you: GM Performance Engines | ZZ383 | Chevy Crate Engine | GM Crate Motor | GM Crate Engine

Might want to consider these guys: Chevy Fuel Injected Custom Built Performance Engines! They're probably the route that I'm going to in the summer.

Do the exhaust from headers to mufflers. The stock exhaust system on L98's don't flow as well as they could. You'll pick up seat of the pants difference as well as a more pleasant audible sound.:D

Not a battery but my neighbor used his factory wiper blades in his Buick for 13 years and even then, he was resistant in changing them.:L

Damn, the increase puts the Z06 just out of my budget.:L One day, I will own a Z06.:upthumbs

Not to rag on any site but it really peeves me when there's an advertisement in the first post.:ugh

It's quite easy to do, shouldn't take you more than 1 hour.

On the lower part of the radiator, there is a petcock that you unscrew to drain the radiator. Just refill with water, run it through the system again, drain and repeat until you get a good deal of the old coolant out. Use distilled water in your 50/50 coolant/water mix. Then burp the system.

People ask me how I learned to work on cars. I tell them, "I couldn't afford to pay someone to do it so I just started ripping stuff apart. Sometimes, there are screws and bolts left over after I put things back together but nothing has fallen apart on me yet.":L

I think that is with quite a few cars, whether is a Honda, Toyota or whatever "specialist." The shop rates were a reason why I started learning how to work on my own cars. There's always someone out there who claims to specialize in some car. Whether it's true or not is not known to me...

Make sure to clean them off good before you paint them. You can even run a torch to heat it up slightly before you paint it. My neighbor swears by doing that, you clean off the surface and the paint bonds better. I painted mine a few years ago. I just took some sandpaper to smooth...

I was just thinking about that today for some reason. :L C4 alternators in general just aren't very good. I'm sure some aftermarket company has manufactured a good and reliable one.:confused
