Can anyone tell me if I hurt my engine or if I am being paranoid. I was out celebrating the passing of the 500 mi break-in period the other day and was going through a hard launch (not a wide open throttle launch but close) when I missed 3rd gear. The motor revved pretty high, but I don't think...

Hey thanks for the further explanation ZR-1 john. Makes sense. I didn't notice he vent tube when I first got the car. I will check it out today. The isolation for temp cycling certainly makes sense when it comes to battery life. Have a great one.

Hello Korvettekarl, Thanks for the congrats. Ditto on your experience. I have never experienced this kind of fun in a car. Took a friend of mine for a ride last week. he had his 03 vert on the web for sale the next day.

Yeh some of those mustangs are fast. until you have to go around a corner.

I'd call corsa. I anyone can fix it right it would be the manufacturer. You might be able to take it off the car and sent it to them. If you need a replacement till you get them back I have a set of stock mufflers I can sell you cheap. johnm

Tell them because it p@##$# you off when you pull up to a light next to a stock mustang and it sounds a whole lot better than your 50K car. Its the one thing ford has figured out a whole lot better than GM, exhaust note. Corsa pace car on my C5, stock exhaust (for now) on my 07 Z06 johnm

Hi Fade, this is an opinion from a corvette lover but NOT a guy that knows much about mechanical or technical stuff. My first vette was an 04 coupe purchased new. With nothing to compare it to I thought the ride and the GM provided creature comforts made it suprisingly civilized. You could...

How do you post pics? I'm an idiot about computers

Thanks for the explanation spanishvette, makes sense and makes me feel a lot better. By the way what side of the road do you guys drive on in spain?

Just took delivery of a 07 Z and was reading through the owners manual where GM spends a lot of time describing the correct (safe) way to jump start the car. Seems the batteries put off some toxic and very flammable fumes which can ignite from a spark during the jump. GM goes a far as placing...

Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences with the museum delivery. Looks like its going to have to wait till next time though. took a test ride in an 07 Z06 I saw on a lot last week and fell in love with it. The dealer had been sitting on the car since march. When I stared talking about how...

Thanks, Looks like this is going to be a good place to hang out and share my vette passion later johnm

Hey walt, Nice surprize to hear from you on this site. No wax yet but we have a 3 day weekend comming up in 2 days. It is possible a coat of NXT might find its way on the new boy. Later brother johnm

Thanks Norty I really am enjoying the car. Nice to have a west coast connection. STW Johnm

Moving over today from the C5 forum. Sold my 2004 magnetic red coupe to a great guy from pheonix 3 weeks ago and brought home the new 07 Z06. Blk on blk . It is absolutely the car of my dreams. I will have many questions. I made a lot of good friends in the C 5 forum and am loooking forward...

Is anyone experiencing a clutch pedal that fails to return to the normal postion after attempting to change gears. I just sold my 04 automatic coupe and am looking at an 07 Z. the guys over in the C6 ZO6 forum are all complaining about the clutch. I was wondering if this is only a C6 problem or...

You need to find a dealership that actually wants to sell a car. I went to a local dealership in mid michigan today they let me drive all three of the vettes they had on the lot by myself. A Z , a coupe and a vert. I had never been to this dealer before. 2 other dealers let me drive their...

Clutch pedal problems on all models or just the "Zs" Just sold my 04 coupe auto trans. Test drove a ZO6 and a Z51 coupe today. Loved the manual tranny, but I don't need any headaches. Especiaaly since I can't tell the difference a wrench and a hula hoop.

appears to be unanimous. I will let everyone know how it turns out. thanks johnm
