    worn bolster

    Only if there's a defect in materials or workmanship. What's your "technique" for getting in/out of you car? Are you sliding your butt across the seat causing wear?

    Don't forget to pull the exhaust flap fuse. (Of course, you'll discover DRONE, but ya gotta at least try it.) You're right about throttle response, all the C6's are quite lazy with this. It can be helped slightly with tuning, but don't bother destroying your warranty just yet. About the LS3~...

    The only way to test a battery is by putting a known load on it, then measuring the voltage.

    Grand Sport Oil pressure on 2010 Grand Sport

    The oil pressure is EXTREMELY dependant upon the oil temperature and RPM. You must include the oil temperature & RPM for a comparison. I drove a new GS a couple weeks ago (it had <20 miles on it.) I noticed the oil pressure varied from 22 PSI to 75 PSI. With this info only, it's useless. You...

    Help! Very Noisy Vette

    I know of no such alarm as being "OEM." I'd just disconnect it.

    Blade silver is what it's called. With white GS stripes, it's going to be BRIGHT! Did you get the "Heretage package?" Post a pic when you get it. Also, you might want to remove fuse #10. It is located on the very bottom row in the right column. (This fuse box is located in the passenger's foot...

    Do you really need to park with the transmission in reverse?

    However, if you rarely drive your car, you can expect reduced battery life. This is true for any vehicle made (car, motorcycle, boat.)

    Al, you car will not be on any train. Bowling Green has been using Allied Auto-Transport since the C5 days. Unfortunately, Allied will not tell anyone when or where their car is currently (for TSA security purposes.) It'll look like this~

    You won't be dissapointed with the LS3! You'll find it has better torque AND drivability than any of the engines you have listed. There are 2 engines that beat the LS3. They are the LS7 & LS9. That's it![/FONT][/COLOR] Also, since the LS3 is so refined, it seems slower than your LT4 & 5...

    What you always wanted to know about cooling system electrolysis

    THe olde backyard mechanic addage was "If you get a voltage, ANY voltage, you have acid in your engine/radiator." Just change your coolant. Trust me, your water pump bearings don't like acid...

    C5/C6 bash? Anyone going?

    14+" of rain in 2 days? We don't get 14" of rain in 2 years. DAYUM! I think there will be A LOT of "flood" cars on the market very soon.

    Question: Uneven tire wear

    HIb makes a good point~ You need an alignment. The factory settings are quite wide at best (and still within spec.) What you need is a more precise alignment. Also~ some tracks are harder on one side of the tire than the other. (For instance, I did a trackday a week ago and destroyed my tires...

    Drips from sideview mirrors....

    I avoid getting water in the mirror housings as the satellite antennae are located there. There's gotta be wires and connections in there somewhere...water or forced air can't be good for 'em.:W

    Hib, do you recall which tires Vic had on his car? Also, were there any other driveline modifications? (ie. clutch,axles?)

    Geiger Corvette Z06 rear bumper!

    Looks ok to me. It's just different. If roles were reversed and this was the OEM fasia, and then someone made a fasia that looks like the one we already have, then most everyone would be saying,"Ewww, the lights look like bugeyes or something." Now if they had created something with a...
