    Deputies using Corvette to catch speeders

    This is bull$&@#. first radios, then radar, then lasar now this. The average road "sportsman" doesn't have a chance. Where are the outraged tax payers. You could buy what, 3 regular police cars for the cost of one Z06

    Tire sensor or computer problem

    When I started my car today I immediately got a RF high tire pressure warning on the DIC. When I called up the number on the DIC it indicated 44psi. I checked all the tires manually and all were at 31 psi. I drove the car 70 miles and I continued to get high tire pressure warnings on all 4 tires...

    Brakes question

    I have an 07 Z06 which I have noticed after a spirited drive there is three times as much brake dust on the left front wheel when compared to the right front. The brakes do not make any noise, the car does not pull under braking (Hard braking or light). The car has 5000mi on the odo. Don't have...

    A friend of mine had a clear film material professionally installed on the nose, hood, side mirrors and around the fender wells of his 03 convertible. The problem is he film is all scratched up and looks horrible. Has any one had any experience removing this stuff? Is there a trick to doing it...

    Would this drive you crazy?

    I had a corsa system installed on my c5 by the local dealship. When I drove up to pick it up I could see it was not symmetrically mounted from 50 feet away. Of course to service manager couldn't wait to ask me how I liked it. His jaw dropped when I simply said "unacceptible". I asked if they...

    GM disbands unit that creates high-performance vehicles

    The Libs only want to bail out GM so they can dictate to them (and us} what cars they will build. If the general wants to build cars they can actually sell they should go ito bankrupcy and when they come out they can build the cars the market demands. Enough already with this insanity. This...

    Dec. 2008: It's time for Americans to take their blinders off

    Let me start by saying I am not a UAW supporter, however I wil say all the bailouts in the world won't help if people don't buy their products. American cars are as good or better than imports! BUT even if they aren't "YOU ARE BUYING MORE THAN A CAR. YOU ARE BUYING A LIFESTYLE" You can pay for...

    LS7 Rocker Arm Failures

    Where do you look for the engine build date on the car. I have an 07 z with a ticking sound at idle, which is exacerbated under throttle. Oil has been changed 3 times with no hardware on the drain plug. My dealer says the noise is normal "they all do it". Of course if the car got hit by a train...

    LS7 Rocker Arm Failures

    Took mine in for a ticking sound. Dealer said it was normal.Of course Same dealer had to have his guys look up in my owners manual to located the 2nd oil drain plug. Did not inspire confidence in me. And boys I wouldn't lean to hard on that warranty thing. You ever see what happens to stock...

    2009 Corvette Price Increase

    I wouldn't count on those prices. The 08 Z06's were listing for 71-72k, by July you could pick one up at most dealers for 65-66k In this country it's the market that sets the price, not the manufacturer(or the government) at least for now.

    Z06 Deal or No Deal

    That is a good price, not great. Do I think prices will continue to fall?What do you think. @*LL yes, everything of value is still going down. Seen house prices lately. The real question is, do you want a great car at a good price and have nothing but fun owning it. Or, are you worried someone...

    An America without manufacturing becomes a starkly divided society

    I don't mean to make this personal (OR MAYBE I DO) American car companies can not sell a car in Japan because the Japanese have a thing we seriously lack.It's called national loyalty. They support their own through thick and thin. Maybe if the people on the east and left coast had a little less...

    An America without manufacturing becomes a starkly divided society

    How about this question .Did GM bale out the US in WWII. Churchill said for 2 years the germans are building a huge army for a reason. The US gov did nothing to prepare for the ineviable. So we go to war unprepared, thank God GM (and others) stepped up and immediately switched over to designing...

    It's a quarterly publication so it depends when you bought. The longest you should have to wait is therefore 3 months. I would drop they a line on the web at "Corvette Quarterly" if it hs been longer than that

    An America without manufacturing becomes a starkly divided society

    Nor an america I want. I am however tired of hearing how mismanagement and the unions destroyed GM. First, GM built cars people wanted. When gas is a buck eighty a gallon america wanted big trucks , suvs and fast sports cars. GM could have built all the 80mpg golf carts in the world. WE WOULD...
