Consider going with non-runflats... That gives more options. Anyway, when is the last time you had a tire go flat suddenly and strand you? The quality of tires these days makes that much less common, so runflats are correspondingly less important. I would have gone with Kumhos, but they...

Oversize Nitto rears I got the Nitto Invos put on a couple weeks ago. The fronts are stock size (275/35/18) and the rears are a bit larger than stock (345/30/19, instead of 325s). After several hundred miles, I haven't had any error messages or problems with the traction control. I think the...

nitto invo Hi-- I just ordered Nittos front and rear--will get them on next week. I will let you know if I get the same active handling message from the 345s being 1/2 inch taller than stock 325s. Gersh

I think the performance axle sounds good! And it would be easy to skip 1st, just take off in 2nd gear for casual driving... Gersh

My guess is No, not a mule, but an assembly line ZR1. I suspect the wording is just B-J routine legal bs. Gersh

On the way to work this morning (driving my DSOM Z as usual), I was stopped at a light and happened to look over at the white Ford dually next to me. A young guy in the passenger seat was extending his middle finger at me with a completely serious look. I had done nothing to specifically annoy...

Thank you, everyone. I ordered the B and B bullets--haven't put them on, since they will be a Christmas present. I got a used set from the factory (returned 'cause they were too loud). I guess we'll find out next month...

Any orange is better than none (though DSOM is best).

My wife loves her C6 Coupe, but is VERY unhappy with how quiet it is. I see some people like the Corsa, but I'm not sure she will think they are loud enough. Her C5 Coupe sounded GREAT with Borlas. I hear BB makes loud exhausts. She drives mostly around town, so the highway drone isn't so...

Corvettes of Houston has a kit, but you can make your own--it takes about an hour, and if you install a premade switch it takes half an hour. Gersh

I don't think so. My wife was driving the family sedan (I was on passenger side, coaching) when the "phone rang" which with Escort means "laser". She hit the brakes hard and we looked around.. Next she said she saw a guy up on the overpass, then, as we crested the hill, there were multiple...

Detector plus quick reflexes.

I'm no expert, and am really not sure... but I think you are wrong. Off-hand, I seem to recall a Tuxedo Black in 1966? Gersh

I sorta agree with you about losing MR, but at least the Crystal Red still offers a decent alternative to the less attractive Torch and Victory reds.

Yeah, but really old black is now dark gray...

Billy-- Thanks for the kind words. I wrote this about a year and a half ago, and am surprised you came across it. Maybe it should be in the C5 discussion instead of C6... Gersh

The new 414-HP M3 takes up most of the cover of Car and Driver, while the gorgeous new 436-HP Corvette is pushed into one corner of the same cover. And the M3 is boring. It looks just like the new Honda Accord (Road and Track has them on consecutive pages). On the other hand, the new...

The difference between a Corvette and BMW, Audi, or WTF is that a Corvette is known to be a fun sports car. The others are yuppie status symbols--they aren't fun to drive, so why do it if you aren't going to buy. I went to the Boomland, the fireworks store, and asked to test drive a few...

Not really. The gas mileage is a pride point for Corvette owners, but I don't think many of us buy them for their mileage...

DSOM Hey, just wanted to say welcome to the CAC and congratulations on the car! Great color choice (I agree with Norty on that). Nice looking Vert! Gersh
