I found it fascinating. Watching the car's crumple zones work (even at this tremendous energy level) is always something we can learn from. Sure they're designed to work at much less energy, but they worked somewhat, even @ 120. A speed they were clearly not designed to handle. Are/were they...

Your lenses are suffering from "crazing." This happens when they're heated up or from flexion. The only way to heat them up (internally) is to install higher wattage bulbs inside them. Since your are HID (and are supposed to be "cool" then that's not it. However, you DO have incandescent bulbs...

Wow! A new ZR1! I bet it's for sale by the end of the month....

In SoCal, it's "hy-rrrrolllica" and you gotta roll the "r's!":chuckle

Fixed it for ya. No Corvettes have factory remote control exhaust systems. Thee are some aftermarket makers that have remotes though.

Sorry, just trying to be "cute" with slang. Yes, "cut-outs" can be installed on a C6 for about $1000 from any competant exhaust/muffler shop. Your car will "pop" on decel, unless you get it tuned after the install.

Tuna, glad to hear you are back up and running! If memory serves, your warranty work is covered by a 12 month add'l warranty, since it was performed by an authorized GM repair facility. Also, it's my dealership's policy to "NOT WASH" any Corvette after work is done, (they make a special point...

Since the airflow is straight thru, the pleat direction change will be negligible. EDIT~ Sorry, I thought it was the cabin filter.

Are you checking for codes thrown?

Usually, the manual only states: "RETURN VEHICLE TO AUTHORIZED CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE." I doubt they set up the car for everyone/anyone to fool with the OBD port. (Granted, anyone can, but should they??) Well, no, not everyone should...

Sounds like you've got the defrost button pushed. It's along the row of buttons (2nd from the right.) Watch your display for the symbol to dissappear. Got yer manual?

So is the problem resolved or is it still a problem?

Doc, it sounds like the door is ok, but maybe the dash was removed for some reason and not totally reseated upon re-installation. Does the window fit the rubber trim evenly?

Check the axle nut(s.) (passengerside is known to loosen) Check the rear swaybar mounts ( their known to back out check the swaybar end links (breakage) Have the grinding rear end recall performed...for free!:thumb

Since you have AO tintcoat, it'll have to be blended. I would have the rear of the car totally inspected. This includes the rearend/transmission mounts/cases and everything underneath the fascia cover. Also, have the "box" that is glued to the frame checked for cracks. Lastly, I'd have the frame...

I wanna make sure I got this right~ GM is putting out a recall to fix cars that haven't had a problem, right? I have yet to see any issues (or even speculation) on any of the forums I'm on, regarding this issue. (I'm on a few of them, too.) It seems to me that GM is taking care of the...

The Goodyears work ok, for the first 1500-1800 miles, then they become ice skates. If you have to drive in any wet conditions, try the Firestone wide oval RF's. They channel water a lot better than Goodyears via deeper tire grooves. Besides, the Firestones can be had for $1000/set. What's that...

Actually, during GM's "learning curve" on this, they tried to first replace just the fluid to no avail. Then, they tried new fluid with add'l friction modifier. That didn't work very well either. Then, they added 2 bottles of friction modifier to rear ends w/chatter. That worked! Then, GM had...

Very good post, Hib. The only thing I might change is "acids are controlled by corrosion inhibiters." Actually, the acids (mostly caused by sulphur in the fuel) are neutralized by the alkalinity (potasium hydroxide) in the oil. (TAN or TBN) ASTM test # D664 or D974 are used for this...

Sounds like a button is either hung up or the contacts are making inadvertant contact every so often. If this occurs only after 30 minutes of driving, then maybe heat related?
