That's my feeling too. I would dearly love to get a C5 (still not in love with the C6 looks) Z06. But I can't seem to convince myself to get rid of my 1991. We put so much love and care on the car so we can't fathom the idea of trading her in or selling her. Then, we have this crazy idea...

I don't know how much horsepower the Corsas add. However, I do love the way they look and sound. I've tried other exhausts on my L98 and hated their droning. The Corsas are perfect in everyway. The quality, looks, sound, without ANY resonance whatsoever. In fact, they are almost as quiet as...

Thanks guys. I will clean it up and see what happens then. It just looks awfully grimey, which I can't remember happening on any of my other cars. Also, I have already budgeted to replace the FX3 shocks with new ones from Bilstein. However, after reading up on some of the issues that may...

As a follow up, the car's handling seems okay. The 3 settings on the FX3 systems do work as in, there is a noticeable difference in all 3 settings. I do feel that the Touring setting is a bit too soft and bouncy when I hit big bumps/dips especially at higher speeds. At the Performance setting...

Please give me your honest evaluation of my FX3 Shocks. I have attached photos. It is from my 1991 C4 with 49k miles on it. The shocks are original FX3 Bilsteins. I took my Corvette to my mechanic for some electrical work. He told me that my front shocks are shot! He said there was a large...

The 6-speed would be a lot more fun to drive, especially if you drive in the mountains. The automatic is much easier in the city and/or traffic. Plus, it's easier to beat people off the line to the next intersection. ;) The 91 L98 will probably feel more powerful off the line because it...

Wow! That was an old post. But it's still valid. L98 C4's will do 0-60 in 6 sec. Sometimes 5 if it's a manual. LT1 C4's will do 0-60 in 5 sec all day long. 4.5 sec with a good driver and the 6-speed. LT4's and LT5's are still fairly untouchable I think. So it's the L98's that are the most...

Hmmm...I'm not quite sure. Email Corsa to find out. It looks all stainless to me but only the tips are chrome. BTW, only ONE of the two tips from each muffler is functional. That's part of how it stays quiet. And that's how Chevrolet makes the stock mufflers. I think all the other...

Just got the Corsa L98 system installed on my 1991 Okay. Before, I had the Dynomax system w/ Y-pipe crossover. I thought those were not bad but definitely had resonance at 1700-2000 RPM. But these Corsa's....wow! Awesome! They emit an exhaust growl that sounds like 60's Muscle car with a...

Congrats. That is indeed a clean car and an excellent price. I have a '91 auto with 47k. I got it when it had 32k. Paid less but it needed some work due to neglect. If you bought it anywhere near that price, it was a bargain. I've since doubled the purchase price on mine just to get it...

Tuneup! New spark plugs, ignition wires, especially after 80k miles. New air filter & fuel filter would be nice too. Clean the FI with a flush job. New shocks definitely at 80k miles. Have you replaced the brake fluid and brake hoses? Broke hoses need to be replaced every 4 years. Every 2...

One thing about these older cars, and especially the C4 with all its electronics, their age makes them more susceptible to moisture related gremlins against their electronics. It sounds like the car's been left outside in the rain a lot....and it's a convertible. Not the best place to store such...

First of all, smoking is a nasty habit. Unlike drinking alcohol, when done in moderation, it can actually be good for you. :) Smoking however, no matter how little, is damaging to your body. I simply do NOT understand why anyone would slowly destroy their bodies? My wife is in the medical...

In the US, it's widely available online and Pep Boys/Autozone/Kragen automotive stores nationwide. But for your location, your best bet would probably be online stores where they sell Sylvannia's or their parent name: Osram. Do an online search and I'm quite sure there wouldn't be a shortage...

I'm glad you're happy with yours. I got the same exact exhaust as you did for my 1991. Although it is quiet out on the highway, there is still a grating resonance between 1500-1900 RPM under heavy loads, such as climbing a hill in overdrive and engine is on those revs. The resonance is...

Got a pair from my local Pep Boys. They're sold as a complete headlamp and not as a replacement bulb for my 1991. Took me about 45 minutes to install both. It was very easy. Well I got to test them tonight. Holy Cow! What a difference! Not that my old halogens were bad, but the new...

Here's a photo of one of the roads around the Central Coast of California. The Corvette is behind me. The coast is also about 15 miles behind me. This road lead inland through vineyards. If you've ever seen the movie Sideways, this place is around there.

Here's another photo taken in Eastern San Diego County. This is down near the Anza-Borrego Desert state park. In the background are the mountains right before the old mining town of Julian. Notice the lack of illegal aliens in the distance. :L Seriously, check out the road. Smooth and...

Hey Ted, Eastern SD is indeed just a hop-skip away from the Mexican border. But if you've ever been around that area, Palomar Mountain, Borrego Springs, Julian, etc., you'd be hard pressed to know. In the years that I've been cruising around that area on my bike and car, I have never seen...
