    Unless you have a previous beef with them, why not use your local Chevy dealership? No better time to create a good working relationship with them. This can pay BIG dividends in the future if you want them to "go to bat" for you...:thumb

    LS9... the apex of the pushrod engine

    The LS9 is a nice engine, but it still suffers from ancient induction. It is incredibly ineffecient, downright sloppy. Now, if/when Chevy does a DI LSanything, then we are going to have something to really celebrate! Can you imagine 12:1 CR, while using regular unleaded? Ok, how about 14:1...

    Corvette C7 rendered by avarvarii

    Looks kinda "too similar" to the C6. Since we found out it's powered by a 5.5 litre engine, I hope it's light. Very light. I can't wait for direct injection in a V8!:thumb

    Help! "Dead Battery" Again! 2007 Convertible Automatic C6

    There's your problem right there. You got a 4 year old car with only 8600 miles on it! (You know, if you drove your car in the rain, the battery will last longer.) j/k!:chuckle Actually, there is a speck of truth with what I write. You need to exercise the charging system in this car...often...

    Question: Front Turn Signals Overheating

    I've heard of this before, where the socket melts in the C6. I believe there is an LED light system for these. They should run cooler. Or, maybe a bulb with less wattage...

    Question: what if you needed a motor

    Yup, why risk a #'s matching block? I'd use a crate also and drive it. When it's time to sell, you can reinstall the #'s matching engine...

    C6Z06 Tire recomendation

    I just did a trackday Wednesday. There were 2 Z06's. Mine with the "runcrap" OEM GY's and the other car had General UHP tires. I have heard through various forums that the Generals were good for long lasting, commuter miles only. I was quite surprised to find they perform as well as (or better...

    etch marks

    "etch marks?" I've heard of crazing, but no etch marks. If it's a manufacturing defect, maybe use your warranty.

    67 Tripower jetting

    Since the engine is still lean, have you replaced ALL the vacuum lines? If any are original, then they are old enough to leak whilst looking "ok." Manifold crack? Gaskets?

    Insurance

    Would the rates be hugely different between the Z06 and ZR1? I have similar coverage as posted above, but my rate is < half that. Calif, 50 year old dude clean record, yada,yada,yada.

    rim fix

    kraz~ Go to your local auto dealership and find out who they use to fix wheel damage. Most dealerships use a mobil service.

    "Multi-purpose" silicone spray works well also, and it's cheap. Be sure to cover all the surfaces you don't want "lubricated...":L

    Correct tire pressure for 2006 c6 runflats

    Since "cold" is subjective, I use 60F as cold. Let's face it, "Cold" means 2 different temperatures. In Dubai "cold" an be over 100F and Winnipeg can "cold" if only < 0F. I don't know what the difference is in 100F separation, but I've seen my tires "grow" from 30PSI to 38PSI in a half hour...

    The owners manual should explain the perameters that CAGS engages.

    Contact a dealership in your area. They have someone that they use I'm sure.

    Drips from sideview mirrors....

    There's a small gap between the mirror and the housing, poke a piece of t-shirt material in there to wick any water after your wash.
