Are you refering to the Cadicllac XLR? The XLR and the Corvette are closely related. The XLR shares the same chassis as the Corvette. The two cars are so simmilar that when the XLR was in production it was built on the same assembly line as the Corvette, in Bowling Green. :thumbs Jason

Hello neighbor! :w Jane Ann is correct, the last 6 digits of the VIN are the production numbers. So far as I know, the Z06's did not get a special VIN sequence, so the production number will only tell you where your car was in the over all production in 2006. :thumb Jason P.S. Be sure to...

Only 1 documented ZL-1? I thought there were 2, a white one and a yellow one. The yellow one belongs to Roger of Rogers Corvette. (My sister used to live in Florida, and I coerced her into going to Rogers Corvette and taking a couple pics of the ZL-1 for me.) According to this story the white...

Congrats on the new ride and welcome to the :CAC. Those Z06's are beautiful. As far as I know, the NPP option was available on the 427 Z06's. If you've got the actuators and valves in the exhaust, your car should have the NPP system. One way to test it is to run your RPM's up above 3000. The...

E10 (10% ethanol) should not hurt your engine. You might notice a drop in MPG using E10 as 1 gallon of ehtanol does not provide as much energy as 1 gallon of gasoline. Oregon mandates an E10 blend for all grades of gas, statewide, and I heard they are contemplating rasing that to E15. Most...

The Suburban started production in the 1930's... :thumb Jason

Welcome to the :CAC LastOfTheV8's. I'm going to put this post in its own thread. That way it will be a little more visable. I do not know what the emissions requirements were for cars in 1993. Are there automobile shops in Ireland that you could take your 'Vette to and have it tested before...

Here is a quick breakdown of the LSx motors: LS1 = 5.7ltr @ 350hp Corvette Action Center Knowledgebase :: Tech Article: The Millenium Motor: Inside C5's LS1 Engine LS2 = 6.0ltr @ 400hp Corvette Action Center | Model Center | C6 | 2005 | 2005 C6 Corvette Introduction - Page 4 of 6 LS3 = 6.2ltr...

You think you've got it bad, try driving around with this on the back of your car! ;LOL Jason

Check out the Helm website. The service manuals are available there. They publish the manuals for GM, so you wont get any better documentation than from these guys. :thumb Jason

Your 'Vette looks great. I like how shiny the wheels are. Is that intake off your car? It sure looks like someone had a hard time with a couple bolts. ;LOL :thumb Jason

If you do the targa top in lexan, make sure the frame is reinforced well. The C4 chassis has a reputation for twisting when the roof is removed. The roof adds a lot of rigidity to the chassis. If your lexan top is not properly reinforced to handle the strain of the chassis torquing it, the lexan...

Welcome to the :CAC, and congrats on the ride! I doubt removing the top would have cracked the windshield. Is there an impact crater at the origin of the crack? My guess is that the crack was there when you bought the car and it just grew when you went for your ride. I got a nice big crack...

Welcome to the :CAC dannimo, and congrats on the new ride. There are several ways to find out if your 'Vette is a Z51 car. There should be an options sticker on the underside of one of the cubby hole lids in the storage area, right behind the seats. It will list all the options the car was built...

I'm a guy, the only colors I'm aware of are the 7 you can find in the rainbow. Red is red, I don't care if it is torch red, or candy apple red, it is red. Don't even ask me what color taupe is. :chuckle :thumb Jason

Lol, for once I'm not going to complain about the HUGE pics. Thanks Dwayne! The fish gills are going to take some getting used to, but I love the Grand Sport wheels and the Z06 scoop on the nose. That Cyber Grey 'vert with the competition grey wheels is beautiful. :BOW :thumb Jason

Sweet, thanks D. :upthumbs It raises a couple questions though. First, the Grand Sport does not get the Michelin tires? I thought they were standard equipment starting last year. The PPT also says the Grand Sport is built on the same chassis as the Z06. Is it really built on an aluminum...

Wow, now where did I put that darn drooling smiley? That is beautiful! Now if only we had some pics of the coupe version. Is there any word on if this GS is a single year run, or if it is going to remain in production for a couple years? :thumb Jason

IMO, black is such an awesome color, it does not need an adjective to make it sound more appealing. It is like telling someone you've got a Corvette. Most people are like "sweet, I love Corvettes", and other than the obligatory "what year?" question, not much more clarification is needed...
