Everyone seems to be missing the obvious.....Premium gas didn't go up any higher than regular gas....the price difference between them has been the same, no matter where you live. So in effect you're not paying any more for Premium then you use to pay 2 years ago or when Regular was .99 cents a...

I don't know if this falls into interior design, but make the paddle shifters on the steering wheel work like in a Ferrari!!!! ...I know we don't have a $250K car here, but the common sense way to work a paddle shifter is to pull up with the right hand, for up shifts, and the left hand pulls up...

So far very smooth but I just drove it for a test run and feels much better than the tires I had on before. I have to hit the interstate to feel the difference. thanks

I just had a new set of tires put on my 85 and the tire dealer recommended putting the weights on the outside too or both sides, makes a better balance. What do you like? Would you only prefer inside or do the outside too? I would have liked the inside only, but I thought I would be running...

You guys are lucky. My tire dealer told me it was very difficult to get tires for my '85, size is unique, made only for 2 years. So the only tire he could get me were 'Mirada' brand, at $165 ea. Says they are Z rated, but no directional marking on them. I could cross(don't know if I would do...

I was viewing a recent thread about an Aqua Vette, and a member posted his Aqua beauty, but the rear bumper looks like he had the 'LT4' logo molded into the bumper, maybe it was my eyes, but do factory LT4's have this on their bumpers? Thanks

FYI: I have seen an Aqua vert around my area for the longest time, and I may recall it was for sale once....BUT before you get excited, I don't know if it was an LT4, (looked like the guy driving it wasn't playing with gears), and I don't recall the interior in beige, because I would have...

On my 85 I have some sort of dust shield(pie plate) inside the front wheels that cover the brakes, as a separate piece. Are there suppose to be these same type dust shields for the rear brakes? Today style is to show the brakes, but I guess these shields keep the wheels free of brake dust. Thanks

One reason I believe there were no '83's is because GM was considering cancelling :eek the Corvette altogether. By the time they decided to go ahead with a new model, it was late in the year, and they just went ahead with the 1984 issue, which, was one of the biggest producton years of...

I can't help but looking at the Nissan logo, the circle with the bar going across it, and keep thinking that it looks like our C-4 logo. The ends of the bar are straight cut, where as the C-4 is angle cut, but it certainly looks familiar. What do you think?

When I purchased my '85 the prior owner had a Borla exhaust installed and the car always seemed to have a wondering throttle at idle or brake stop. I have now installed a 'Green' performance filter, and seems somewhat to have smoothed out the idle. Maybe it was the missing link for this set-up...

I asked this question because this past weekend I was driving my '85, which is an L98 with an oil cooler, and in the frigid NE here the temp struggled to get around 150 degrees water temp. All the while the oil temp always showed a higher temp, usually by 30 degrees. Finally the water temp hit...

I've also used Ragtop on my cloth '96. That stuff must really stick and protect, because I got some overspray on the windshield and side glass and it is a @#$%^ to get off. As long as it stays on the top it's OK with me. The real problem I have is that the indoor cotton back cover I use has a...

I have an LT4 and seems that normal running on the highway the temp goes to about 204 degrees. I have an LT1 and it seems to run around 189-193. I also have an L98 that runs the coolest at about 175 or less(seems that it just never gets that hot). I know that this is a minor thing and some may...

When I purchased my 85, the prior owner had a Borla exhaust installed. Should I make any other changes to 'balance' off the exhaust. I don't want anything radical, like cam, headers, etc. I like to keep the car as stock as possible. I was wondering if there was anything else that is simple to...

One other thing-put in premium gasoline, if you're not running that already. Timing could be off, maybe your dist. is loose and it turned a bit when you did the tune up.

My bet - the person you bought the car from probably didn't want to re-charge the system, as your model takes the R12 refrigerant, which has become pricey. I had the same situation when I bought my 85, luckily I just had to recharge the system, all components were fine. Keep with the R12, I...

On my '85 the lug wrench is in the storage area behind the pass. seat. It actually has holders there to keep it upright.

I understand the C5 and C6 were designed as convertibles first, so they are both suppose to be more rigid than previous verts, meaning you are not suppose to notice much of a difference, that is between the coupe & vert. The C4 was set up as a coupe, then the law changed making it possible for...

I've used Meguires trim detail, about $5 for 8oz. bottle, comes in a black container. It goes on like a cream and lasted over a year, very pleased. I've got gallons of all kinds of waxzes, so I don't feel like buying anymore. I have also used Mother's 'Back to Black', but it just looks like...
