Love the color scheme. I've always been partial to white Corvettes but the silver underneath makes it look better. Nice picture!

That is a very good thing. Did you hit any bumps or potholes? :L My '91 is relatively low miles too for its year. It has very few rattles. But when I hit sharp bumps the car reverberates from it! I've driven GM cars of this vintage before and they are all the same. On smooth roads though...

93 Rubie, and GMJunkie, you guys are the kind of Techs we need more of out there. And yes, I do hate the 3rd party information from the Service Writers. Some SW's just suck, some are good. I think you should be a Tech BEFORE you can become a SW. I fully understand that stuff breaks...

The C5 is a better Daily Driver because it is roomier, easier to get into and out of, and is more modern. GM also significantly improved the interior layout and most of all, interior quality when they went to the C5. But C5's are in the $20k range so that way out of budget. Having said that...

I hear ya. Back in the days I took my Corvette to the dealership, I had them diagnose a non-working coolant temp gauge. In addition to diagnosing it wrong and having me pay dearly for "repairing the gauge cluster", they also shut the hood with the fuse box still open!!!! I heard this rattle...

I forget things sure. But NOT when I'm wrenching! :eyerole Sure, I've put something back together then realized I forgot to install this or that, so what do I do? I put whatever I forgot back in! How hard can it be? I'm talking about missing a screw! You put a part back in and you have...

Young guys (and gals) drive and make a$$es of themselves no matter what they have. It's just youth being youth. We were all like that once in our lives! I must admit, I'm still a little like that if you ask my wife! I've seen many young guys from late teens to early twenties owning C4's...

GMJunkie, thank you man! I was finally able to replace all eight of my 1991's spark plugs! SUCCESS!! I was having the most difficult time replacing the last spark plug in Cylinder #2, the one on the passenger's side closest to the front of the car. I tried everything short of removing that...

The one car culture I don't like is the Porsche culture. They are very elitist and hate Corvettes in general. That's because the Corvette ALWAYS beats their beloved 911. Anytime Porsche releases a faster, more expensive 911, a new Corvette comes out that is half the price yet still faster and...

How come? What part of the Mustang culture don't you agree with? It isn't any different from the Corvette culture, or the Camaro, 911, Miata, etc. They are all very similar except the vehicles are different. It may interest you to know that although many Corvette owners poke fun at and...

Rex, your Shelby GT has the Ford Racing Cold Air Intake, Cat-Back Exhaust, and the 93 Octane tune. So what is it? 335 bhp? I plan to do this same exact mod myself and everyone who has done it says it fixes the throttle lag. I'm good with that. Very nice car BTW.

WhalePirot, you and I live in the same city if I remember correctly. I think you understand about the Corvette-Wave tradition over here in SoCal. Only real enthusiasts of the type wave. Most of the time, they have no clue. The newer the Corvette, the lesser they are informed--at least in...

I plan to install the Steeda springs, Koni shocks, and Steeda up strut tie bar on the Mustang to at least get it to corner close to the Corvette. I actually was ready to buy the 2010 Mustang GT. But when I looked at it and read about all the changes, I realized it is a make over of the S197...

Just wanted to share this confession with the Corvette enthusiasts in this board. About a month ago, I bought a Mustang GT. I know, I know….it’s a Ford! The model is an S197, which is the model BEFORE the current cosmetic redesign. The current Mustang is really just a mid-life makeover of the...

Oh yeah speeding citations is definitely where all the $$ lie. It always makes me wonder how Law enforcement and local governments spend so much time and money in aqcuiring speed measuring devices, and training their officers to use them. Meanwhile, nobody cares to come up with a device to...

I did a similar cost-study to put a ZZ4 crate motor into my L98 powered C4. The swap, including the ZZ4 motor plus all upgraded parts (intake/exhaust), plus the installation labor came out to $10k. I then did another cost-study to simply upgrade my L98 with new heads, camshaft, headers...

It is illegal to use a hands-on cell phone while driving in CA. Not that it has stopped many....lately, I've been seeing cell phone usage, text messaging, etc. while driving because the police and the CA Hwy Patrol no longer enforces this law. They just go after speeders. :eyerole

I saw a major crash the day before Christmas right near my house. I driving my Corvette behind a group of cars and we were approaching an intersection. We were moving at about 50 mph. There was Toyota Camry sitting at the intersection waiting to make a right turn into our direction of travel...

Here is a kit offered by VBP, Inc. in the USA. C4 to C5 brake upgrade: Vette Brakes & Products, Inc. - Detail

:L I love Musclecars. The Mustang is THE iconic Musclecar of the decade thanks to GM abandoning the Camaro. But yeah. 20 years older and yet the Corvette still handles better and didn't give up any acceleration either! :thumb
