I'm sure that the refinement of the C6 is much better than in the C5. But consider what I am currently driving! Either of these cars are going to be ultra-refined compared to my 1991 C4. :L Currently, I am weighing in my options and taking into consideration insurance costs & yearly...

I have absolutely no time off available to me. I used it up taking care of a sick parent. So I am not willing to travel outside of SoCal unless someone ships me the car. In addition, there is this weird, stupid law in CA about buying almost new cars out of state. Not 100% sure but one of its...

So this week I spent some time looking around at what's available new and used. It's been a while since I looked at Corvette prices and I'm really liking what I see. New of course is very nice. What struck me is that a new C6 is not that much more than when the C5's were new. Okay, the Z06...

Thanks guys. I won't be ready to pull the trigger on this until August. Also, I'm still trying to decide to go with C6 or C5 Z06. My brain says C5 Z06 because the money saved is significant while the performance is very close. I like both cars in terms of looks so the only other issue is the...

Hi Everyone. I have been a member here since 2003. I currently have a 1991 C4 Base Coupe. In the past 7 years I have spent a lot of time and $$ making my C4 as good as possible. The car is nearly perfect except for needing a rebuilt on her shocks, new weatherstripping, and new rubber on her...

Did somebody ask about sparplug replacement on a C4? GM Junkie we need you! :D Don't struggle. Do it the easy way. Remove the center section of the passenger side inner fender (6 bolts I think). This gives you a straight access to the plugs. Then use an 8" extension and swiveling socket. I...

The L98 TPI has been around long enough so that it's almost a science to get the additional power you would like. The added power comes in stages of modifications and they are a proven formula that is repeatable. Basically if you have the TPI then you free up the intake and exhaust, then...

Hypertech charges $179-$230 for the generic chip.

Here's another interesting tidbit of info. I have 2007 Honda sportbike with a DOHC, 16-valve motor. It is every bit as modern as today's car engines, probably even more as it produces quite a bit of power for its displacement and is known in the industry to be virtually bulletproof and very...

Well, if you put a 1,000+ hp on any aerodynamic body, it should go that fast. Note the Bugatti Veryon. Of course to go beyond 190 mph requires a whole lot more aerodynamic tuning and this is one of the reasons the Bugatti has active aero aids (actively lowers the car, wings deploy to produce...

Been there done that with my other cars. To get good, realistic bass you must move the mass of air to produce that sound. You do that with either size of driver and area in which the driver can work in. Bose works with area to produce bass from relatively small drivers. However, they do this...

This is only my opinion based on what I have read from various publications who have run articles on how to make the C4's run faster. Engine temperatures were mentioned often. From what I gather, the L98's run the fastest at around 180 degrees. Unfortunately, it is not as efficient. It is...

Agree with Surfer. Hypertech chip is generic and does little according to those who have really used it. Custom chips are the way to go with C4's old ECM's that use those semi-primitive codes.

That's too bad for you because they are nice cars. Seriously, why the hate against Mustangs? The car is as iconic as the Corvette, both epitomizing the American sports car, and it has every right to exist. I wish you could respect other people's rides as much as others respect yours. I like...

The Mustang is a Certified Used Car with a bumper to bumper warranty. So I took it to the dealer because they did not charge me for fixing the brake issue. As for the Corvette, my prior experience with other cars and bikes are when aftermarket parts don't fit or work as good as stock...

Oh I'm with you on sometimes.....but not all the time! As soon as it got hot those pads were squealin' like disturbed mice! It was loud enough to hurt my ears if I had the windows open. Now they are smooth and silent. Squealing pads is usually due to poor fit that allows the pad to...

I gotta disagree with you on that. That chain was missing at least 3 links to be like that. The correct length chain would have the wheel within the proper specified location (the middle) especially if it's a new chain. Done it many times on my bikes. Trust me, they screwed that one up...

GM Junkie you out there? Need your input! So back in 2003 when I first got my C4, my Vette had squeeling brakes when they got hot with some noticeable brake shudder. The previous owner has installed Autozone brand brake pads to save $$ and I knew the pads did not fit properly and that caused...

I was under the impression there is already a company out there that made the front suspension subframe brace as well as the B-pillar (the hoop behind the occupants) brace. I believe it was R&D Engineering. At one point Mid-America sold them. These are the braces developed during the Corvette...

Don't mean to be a wiseguy but....the only difference between Dexcool and the yellow coolant is that DC does not breakdown as quickly as the yellow coolant (needs to be replaced every 24 mos or so). DC needs replacement around the 48-60 mos period. GM normally recommends 60 Mos. In any case...
