Interesting that the people that are having issues, are new to this forum and don't have any posts. That makes them 1 of 2 things. Lurkers or trolls. Ok, let's give them the benefit of the doubt. Let's say both of the cars that are having the same issue are indeed, bonafide. Here's what we...

Sure, just throw the FOB in the trunk. There are no sensors there so you'll be just as locked out. ;) Carrying the trunk key in your wallet isn't a bad idea as it allows you to get into the car. Or, you could tape a spare key to the underside of the car somewhere, then retrieve it when you're...

If not "gone," then verrrrrrrry limited! Just think of all the econoboxes they'll have to sell to offset the "guzzler" cars...

After talking to "Corvette traditionalists" about a high revving, no torque engine, they didn't like the change at all. They prefer the big cube, low revving, high torque engine avaliable now. Can't say I blame them as I can buy a high revving, no torque engine in any asian performance car...

Tuna~ Since your car has had a multi component failure, it's safe to say that the cause is connected to all those failed systems. Not just 1 of them. This tells me it's a ground somewhere. Since you brought up "lightning dischrages," it is possible that this could be the cause. Lightning may...

Yes, the fluid is hygroscopic. It will pull water from the air (via humidity.) Also OP~ You might want to use Ranger's method of changing the majority of your fluid on a monthly basis. It's easy as you don't have to turn any wrenches or get under the car. If you want to get under the car and...

btdt $1000 works yo

If the rumored "10,000 rpm" turbo V-8 comes true, then you might see shorter gears. Right now, you just end up with add'l engine heat, more stress on the driveline, worse gas mileage and your engine is worn out sooner... such a deal!:chuckle

You don't need to remove the rockers themselves, just inspect the cages for failure.

Have you looked at car prices from all manufacturers? All the cars are going up. Especially the "entry" level models. Now that the "cash for clunkers" has destroyed the used car market, the rest of the used cars are commanding premium pricing. This is crossing over to new car sales since the...

Based on what I'm hearing regarding "Carlisle Blue," it won't be around long and in very limited numbers...

You can use it for another coupla years. The key is how it's stored. If it's stored inside a garage where water can't get to it, then you're good.

wej1~ Welcome and enjoy your car. The best places to get the most current information about your car is thru forums like this. Sure, some of the info is erroneous,but for the most part, it's quite useful. Don't forget to :w

Yet another testament to Corvette's crashworthiness. Yeah, it burnt, but at least it took a pole in the fuel tank to do it. Ferrari 458's burn just driving down the road...:eyerole

The Goodyear OEM tires last a longtime but even when they still have good tread, they become like ice driving. The firestone wide ovals are half the price of the Michelins. HALF. And they last longer with better traction. THIS CANNOT BE STRESSED ENOUGH... CHECK THE INSIDE EDGES OF YOUR FRONT...

The section of the rotor you guys are talking about is known as "the hat" area. If yours are rusty, I'd remove them and paint them with a high heat/header paint. I would not powdercoat as it would have to be "baked" on. Medium gray would hide the brake dust best, IMO.

If you get a flashlight and look up into the passengerside front wheelhouse, you'll notice some white grease pencil markings. There will likely be some signatures and dates. This is from the workers as your car was coming down the assembly line. Another way to get your "build" date is to...

Hey, plastic is plastic! Blame workmanship on UAW. UAW, again. First I've heard of this. Supplier issue? GM just spent over 1 million for a new alignment rack system to address sloppy specs. Probably nothing more or less than any other GM product. Think about it...

LS2 with a Maggie!

Orange peel is typical in C6 cars. The darker the color, the easier it is to see. Notice the color of the cars in the top 2 posters... The only way to fix the "lumps" is to remove them. Zaino will have zero effect. (In fact, it'll make it more noticable!) If it really bothers you that much...
