    Grand Sport Installed a HUD this weekend

    Let me tell you something. Make sure you order this thing from the factory. Although is wasn't that hard, is was very time consuming. I took about 6 hours total time spread over 3 days last weekend. It's very hard for a guy like me who has broken as many bones as I have to sit in the cockpit and...

    Grand Sport ground clearance

    So far as I have been able to determine, it is the same as a Z06. I scrape in exactly the same places.

    I will see what I can do this weekend. It is NASCAR in Vegas week. The haulers will be passing by my place of employment in about 4 hours.

    Thanks, Shooter. I notice the Magna charger. That is one of the options I am looking at right now. I didn't think I would miss a measly 76 ponies, but I do.

    I traded my 07 Z06 for a 2010 Grand Sport. The power difference is noticeable. I will have to do something about that. Otherwise it might as well be a Z06.

    Loss of value

    Well my saga comes to an end. I ended up trading it in on a 2010 Grand Sport. I had the dealer who did the repair work over a barrel. I asked them if they stood behind their body repair shop. They stated they did. I then asked why they were deducting so much, they had done the repairs. We...

    C6Z06 Tire recomendation

    Thanks for the input Hib. Yours is always put above everybody else. My problem with the GY runflats is lack of traction at about 90 MPH in 3rd gear and sudden drop to floor with the accelerator pedal. They bust loose and I have been smoked by lesser cars more than once. I guess I should learn a...

    Thanks for all the replies. I will have to get some appraisals and call up the insurance adjuster.

    C6Z06 Tire recomendation

    Thanks for the input on the Nitto's. May try them soon. I only get about 16-19k out of a set of runflats.

    C6Z06 Tire recomendation

    Were the Nitto's less expensive? I ran a set on my 57 Bel Air with 2000 Vette rims and were relatively inexpensive. I don' think they lasted all that long either. I may have to give those a shot. Are they the same height, width etc? I have heard horror stories about speedo and active handling...

    Loss of value

    I will try to make the Laughlin run. Got the car back yesterday. I cannot tell any difference from before the accident. They did an excellent job. Yes it was GM dealership. My problem is the devaluation. I have not spoken to the other person's insurance company about devaluation yet. I try keep...

    Loss of value

    What can I do about the 10K loss of value I am going to have once I get my car back from the body shop? I was hit on December 16 on the right rear wheel. Broke the upper A-arm as well as the wheel. Also had to replace the rear tub because some cracking in that are. The body shop is GM and is...

    C6Z06 Tire recomendation

    I have the Bridgestone runflats. An improvement but not by much. I would love to find a non runflat. I wish Michelin would make a BF Goodrich KDF in our size. I had those on my 2000 FRC and they were great, wet or dry.
