    Conv. loaded is 64,000 so the new Z06

    i'd bet one thing for sure, it will sticker for less than a viper. my guess is, as far as price goes, GM wants to make it a no brainer as to which car to purchase. my guess is "loaded" at $67500

    What year is this ?

    my 85 has been fairly trouble free, and very reliable. i do however drive it everyday (spring/summer/fall). if i was going to buy another everyday driver C4, i'd look at a '91 L98 auto - 50K mileage range. i think (JMHO) this would give you the biggest bang for the buck.

    15 year old drove my '85

    my 15 year old grandson got his temps last week. yesterday, i took him out and let him drive my '85. ...a little nervous at first (both of us ;) - i think my son and his wife were a little nervous too), but when we got back to their house, it took an hour to wipe the :D off his face! (actually...

    Creampuff or lemon?

    i bought my '85 nine years ago with 33K miles. presently i have a tad over 94K miles. the thing has been a very reliable car - it only let me down once. a couple of years ago, i was traveling home from visiting my mom's when the fuel pump went out, so i had to have a flat bed take it to the...

    my understanding is that the 2006 corvette models will incorporate the xm antenna into the side door mirrors - unless there is some new aero design or something... - ???

    Dipstick shows oil low even after proper fill quantity.

    i have found that checking the oil level right after turning the engine off can lead to false dipstick readings. it takes several minutes for the oil to drain back into the oil pan. on my c5, the manual says to wait 20 minutes, but i find that the level will still continue to rise after that...

    Help, I can't see speedo,rpm display!!

    go to a napa dealer for bulbs - same as the GM part (made by GE) - about half price. while you're at it, replace all 4 bulbs. nothing worse than putting in the last screw, and another bulb burns out.

    Is this an oil change disaster?

    i agree! the syn blend will not hurt anything, but i'd get it changed back to full synthetic at the next 3000 mile change. i'd also take your own stuff back to the dealer and try to make them change it if free, since the morons pulled that crap on you. i'm not buying that "that's the only...

    Chrome Wheel repair

    WOW! good question. i don't know any way of repairing chrome outside of having it stripped and replated. i guess its where the bubble is. is it on the outer wheel or on the barrel? if its a place that doesn't show, i'd break the bubble, clean the surface just up to the edge of the...

    Buyers Beware - ILL.ICEMAN - JIM SABINE

    A used car dealer put this.......

    i have purchased two c5's. the one dealer had the license plate frame, the other put his sticky-back logo on the plastic panel at the base of the windshield under the hood - i popped it right off. if that NJ space cadet dealer had any brains, he would be using the same type sticky-back logo...
