GM has repaid all Gov't loans. It is no longer "gov't owned" in as much as being financed. Now, if you were to say "GM is owned by the Gov't via regulations and unions." you may very well have a point. I guess it could have been worse~ Galarraga could have received a Porsche...(at least it put...

Here are my thoughts~ The best way to evaluate an exhaust system is to hear it yourself. Sound recordings are worthless as the electronic mics used today adjust for volume. (A gun shot isn't a "little pop,pop,pop!") Visit a local Corvette club in your area and ask to hear people's cars...

Tim, contact Betty @ the museum to get the particulars on your car build date. Also, contact Bearmans about when your engine was built. Call up and chat w/ Mr. Ross (@ Wixom) and tell him what you think of his engine. (They love customer feedback.);) Betty can also supply you a buildsheet...

Thank you for your service, Newt. Enjoy your car and post some pics when you return!

CAGS too! Tell your boss you're sick today, you gotta drive your new Corvette! Post up some pics too!

Wait until Tim discovers "COMP" mode! Pedal feedback in the twistys is fun! Enjoy your car!:thumb

Keep using the same stuff you have been using. Why change now?

If you turn your car at all, keep an eye on the inside edges of your front tires!(A real alignment can fix this.) I'm on my 3rd set of tires @ 39,000 miles. No burnouts/drifting, but I do turn my car.

A fun car that doesn't really *"need" modding, but some do it anyway. Enjoy your car.:thumb * Strictly an opinion.

OP~ Here's what I would do~ First, I'd forget using GM for the roof seperation problem. Remove the roof liner from the framing yourself, go to a marine supply store and ask for some *epoxy" that sets up quickly. I can get you some specific part numbers if you'd like. This will retain your...

Sorry, I don't have any info on the additive package of the syntheitc oil. (I forgot which brand it was, actually!) Can't even begin to tell you as the reason above. A "syn oil's greater resistance to oxidation" is additive dependant as these photos show. "In the race cars,they try to set up...

Yes, the syntheitic oil varnished the underside of the pistons terribly. This could have gone the other way if the syn oil had a better additive package.

I'd also replace the vehicle battery as they make the car do really goofy things when the voltage drops just a little.

I'll let you know when I'm old enough! Lifeline~ 1. Many cars of all sorts 2. Corvettes 3. Cadillacs 4. Buicks 5. Hearse

If it "pops out of gear" upon decel, then I'd look at bent shift fork or linkage. It might just need to be adjusted as these manual linkages are critical for positive shifting.

:werd: Agree with everything here. Also, since it is a "flood" car, it may receive a "salvage" title. If this occurs, you may want to sue for diminished value. This car will likely have electrical gremlins forever.

Unfortunately, I do not have pics other than the 2 views of the pistons. * I also have pics of pistons from Archer Bros. cars in TRANS-AM racing. They pretty much show the same story.

Fast forward 3 and a half years, I had it dyno'd again. (I was getting a tune.) Here was my "before" #'s~ 473.7hp....443.6tq (Dyno Dynamics) My "after" #'s~ 494.7hp......454.5tq. (Dyno Dynamics) 2 different dynos (Dynojet & Dyno Dynamics.) I had about 35,000 miles on the car when it was...

Here's mine w/1900 miles...all stock.

kraz~ I'd go to a local car dealership and ask who they use for things of this nature. There are many people that are mobil that repair paint/clear coat & wheels.
