Corvette Action Center | Research Center | C7 Corvette | 2015 Corvette Center | 2015: Corvette Z06: Preliminary Specifications 625 HP / 635 LB-FT. So, are thouest "very surprised" by an uncharacteristic Roots-supercharged engine?? :D:thumb

Cool, get to see the new C7.R also! Looks very Aston-Martin! (not an issue with me) Supercharger in the Z06 now, eh? Should make the next(?) ZR-1 even more interesting!

FRAM is now owned by New Zealander Graeme Hart's company "Rank Group" (Rank Group Limited) And, sadly to say, K&N oil filters are no longer "Made in America". I think the HP-xxxx has been picked up by manufacturers in Korea. (I can't recall what it says on my product box.) There's also an oft...

Chiming in late here, but hey, I have a couple extra minutes... (Of course, there's been tons of previous threads about this if you wish to use the search function. One of the threads even has the pre-, during, and post-paint pics. My paint was $7500. It's not the materials that cost the...

On the otherhand, going through this thread a was a trip down memory lane in terms of some members we haven't seen around in a long time. :cool!: (Wait, I don't mean, "Cool, we don't see them". I mean, "Cool, seeing old names and all..." :thumb

Here's what I don't get...(and maybe it's explained in the above video which I haven't watched yet.) I created an overlay of the GT seat on top of the Competition Sport seat. Support-wise, there doesn't seem to be much difference at all. And I noted this months ago when the news first broke...

If hotmtrsports copied the list verbatim, then it's absolutely ridiculous! It's so ridiculous that I don't even want to click on the link to increase that website's page views. That being said, did it specify which year of the big block? Not that it really matters, as was pointed out, all but...

My wife's business partner, who was a mental-case and real C-U-Next-Tuesday, was basically trying to kill the sale of the business by stealing from it, bad-mouthing my wife, and generally doing whatever else she could to kill the value of it pre-sale. The business did eventually get sold, but...

Car and Driver recently tested a pre-production model. They drove a 3.9s 0-60. Base price: $52,000 As Tested (in the article): $66,385 ...but all you need is base + $4595 (for Z51 & Magnetic Ride Control) = $58,000 Both Callaway and Hennessey have already displayed some plans they have for...

I disagree on those two comments. I don't see where the base model is going to start at $70K. Maybe if someone tacks on a bunch of RPOs, then yeah, possibly you're into mid-$60K's. The first post in this thread quotes the car at a $52K MSRP. If you have a dealer that wants to tack on their own...

Pete, Welcome to the :CAC Here's from the manual for the 1980. I'm guessing it should be similar for the '81. But maybe not since they introduced other computer dodads that year. Click on or hover over the pic for full size.

Link is working. :thumb

I don't know how those heads compare to the stock heads, but given the cost of a good seat of heads, I don't think people typically(?) would do that if it wasn't a known significant performance bump. More often than not, it seems that changing heads can make the biggest difference of all the...

Virginia International Raceway lap records - FastestLaps.com I don't know how current it that site is, but there is at least one entry for 2013, so it's somewhat current. A time of 2:51.78 makes it the 6th fastest car listed. For being a relatively "stock" Corvette, this puts the car in very...

Sweeeeet.... :cool

Yeah, this is a really nice 'walk through'. Please keep it updated! :thumb If I had this information about 9 years ago... :eyerole

We did have quite a few members on the west coast, but most of them have moved a bit more inland for whatever their reasons were. Things are a little bit more relaxed here at the CAC, so feel free to post. We do have a 'regional' section here that you can use for posting events.

Welcome to the :CAC That's a nice '73 ya have there. I also checked out your FB page. Looks like you have some nice sharks in your group! Does your group have a public forum of sorts like we have here, or just FB?

Certainly they could make that money back. It's a basic margin-vs-volume issue. They have chosen to make $60K by only selling 100, versus making only $30K per unit but selling 200 of 'em. Either way, all other things being equal, their net margin is the same. "Gouge" was never my word; it was...

It's an issue of time & money. If you ain't got the time, you'd better have the money! RJ, if you want it done sooner, just cough up the bucks and pay someone to do it for you! See how easy that is? :D You have yourself a long term project. At times it will suck because it seems like...
