The alignment specs are about a mile wide for the Corvette. If your alignment shop can't get it "within spec," then search for an alignment shop that doesn't have Helen Keller working as a tech. Yes, because of neg. camber, the insides of the fronts will wear appreciably. It's something you...

The stock LS7 is rated @ 470lb.ft. I would suggest using a 4L80 trans as it has a higher capacity. They can be built for lots of power. Now, if money were no object, I'd look at the 6L90 from the blown Caddy. That trans IS rated for a lot more torque than what the LS7 makes. You'll want to...

toppthat~ Realizing you're on a budget, I would say Michelin Pilot Sports. Are they cheap? Nope. Do they last twice as long as all the other tires, thus saving money in the long run? You betcha, they do! Sometimes, "cheap" tires cost more than better tires that last longer...

After reviewing the 2012 Porduction #'s, I ran across "D30" Color Override" option. What IS that? All I know is 58 cars had it. None were Z06's. Are there 58 "Mary Kay" Corvettes running around?;LOL

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.........it's a secret!:L

Hib, I would have sub'd PS2's for your road trip. They work very well, and last a long time. Your "cups" are going to be junk by the time you get to Santa Barbara. That's a shame because those cups are great tires, just not for the purpose you're using them for. Oh well, it's too late now, enjoy...

Having a dealership that knows it's product is good business. There is always going to be a "new" salesperson that doesn't know everything about every car on their lot. That would be impossible as models change specs and dealerships change sale staff. Now, would I like a "specialist" that...

Interesting that GM will cease production of the C6 for "several months" to deplete existing inventory, prior to releasing the C7. I guess those that want to "negotiate down" a price on a new C6 with C7's on the lot will get shut out. :chuckle Also, regarding the LS7 in a 'vert, those that get...

Did both plugs look like this? Here's a pic of both cleaned and still loaded plugs. This engine has 51,XXX miles on it, and the oil change intervals are 20% oil life, give or take.

doubt this is it! GM is secretly praising Jalopnick for making the C7 have some media buzz. Lately, there's been nothing to talk about. Whether this is it or not, we're speculating. I'd like to see the interior. (Oh yeah, I sure hope it doesn't look like a friggen C4!) It looks like the...

OP~ There have been numerous threads about the "C6 gas cap." Here's what I can tell you. Some early gas caps caused a code to be thrown. Causing a "check engine light" (CEL) to be illuminated. Once it has been replaced, the light may (or may not) go out, but the code is still stored. You'll...

The only thing I use NAV for is @ 1/32nd mile scale. I use it to tell me what an unknown road is going to do if I'm "railing" it. Saved my bacon a coupla times (and almost cost me my bacon other times.) Speaking of which, why is bacon $8 a pound?:eyerole

MODS~ Please move to C5 section so OP can get more accurate help.

Lens crazing is caused by heat cycling. So, here's what we've got~ 1. DRL's are on all the time and they get warm. (Unless you turn them off, like I do.) They've been known to get warm enough to melt/distort the plastic ABS connector, causing failure. 2. I'm not familiar with the "Typhoon"...

Chances are, your lean codes were tripped because of the fuel's oxygenate. That's what happened to me.

vintagez~ What if you were to just remove the neg. cable from the battery terminal for the winter? This way, you could leave the battery in the car. (Unless you're worried about battery damage from freezing.) Might wanna get the tires off the ground too, if it's gonna be THAT cold! (Better...

ALL LS7's are built @ Wixom PBC. It doesn't matter if the engines go to Bowling Green for installation into new Corvettes or they go to "stock" as crate engines. The only difference I can glean from the "crate" to the "BG installed" engines is that the crate engines seem to make slightly more...

Interesting. I have just the opposite problem. When I floor the car and get going really fast (150+,) I hear "WEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!" I can't figure out where it's coming from either!:rotfl

Depends on what you want to do with the car. If you want to get max mileage out of a set of tires (and save a grand,) then you'll want Firestone Wide Oval runflats. (Yes, you can get a set for $1000 out the door, WITH road hazard.) Now, if you track your car, then you may want something...

Who was the engine built by? Look for a name label on the top (passengerside.)
