    Aftermarket Visible Carbon Fiber Roof???

    Are there any reports on how the quality is on aftermarket visible CF roofs? I understand GM uses some exotic clear coat on theirs. Is the same true with aftermarket? The OEM is $4,500 from GM Parts Direct & $5,800 from my dealers parts dept.

    Sounds Like Water Gurgling On Cold Start

    When I cold start my 2015-Z51 (40 degrees) I get a sound like hot water baseboard heat gurgling through pipes. I don't know if it will do it at a higher temperature because 40 degrees is the warmest it's been in the last month. Very noticeable for the first 30 seconds. Only put 100 miles on...

    Need Seat For My Grandson

    My grandson is 4 1/2 years old and weighs enough to qualify using a booster seat. He has wanted to ride in my Vette's for years and now is the time. Are there any booster seats that are made for or fit well in a C5 & C7 Corvette? If no booster seats are available is there a preferred regular...

    Help! HELP Anyone from Danbury CT or Nearby

    I am waiting for my new C7 & all I know is it is on a carrier in Danbury CT. Shipper will not give me any info on why the truck is stuck in Danbury. I hate to even think this but has anyone heard of any car carriers loaded with Corvettes involved in a accident either Friday or this weekend? Also...

    Change Oil Before Or After Winter Storage?

    I always change my engine oil before the car go's in Winter storage. Now I hear folks say change when it comes out of storage. Have I been doing it wrong for 60 years?

    Who Goes By The DIC Oil Life Monitor?

    For the price of $40 for 6 quarts of M1 and a M1 107 filter I guess I will change them both again this year. I have a four post lift so that makes it very easy. I used to change them before I put them away for the winter. Now I hear guys say change in spring when the car comes out of storage...

    Who Goes By The DIC Oil Life Monitor?

    I have a C6 that I put about 5K a year on and change oil and filter once a year. I also have a C5 & LS2 GTO that I put between 1,000 & 1,500 miles a year on. I used to change the C5 & GTO once a year but is it crazy with M1 & M1 filter to change the oil every year seeing the cars don't get...

    Two Car Four Post Lift?

    That's what I am looking for Mac. I like the fact that you could put a car in the center and have room to walk around it while cleaning etc. Plus, I need another space and hate to rent one that's off site. Tom, its always good to keep the children and in our case the grandchildren away from...

    Two Car Four Post Lift?

    I need another spot in my garage and cannot fit another single 4 post lift. I was looking for a four post two car lift but would like to get a idea & input on prices & specs. I have info coming but would like to know what Forum folks think of them and about how much do they cost. No one...

    Video: 2014 Corvette - It's All in the Calibration

    I really hope not. I don't care for the tac. I am a total anolog guy. If I want to see a digital tac I will look at the heads up. Keep the gauges anolog.

    Help! Isimple Ipod setup?????

    I installed the isimple in my 2000 C5 and I can use the radio volumn and next feature but if I try to go back a song I cannot. I used my changer harness and did a plug & play with & set the dip to 3.8. Is this normal? I thought if you went right from the changer harness you would get at least...

    With Viper splitting from Dodge, should Corvette have separated from Chevy?

    Couldn't agree with you more. When I was picking options for my 2000 (was supposed to be a 99) I wasn't used to allocations & constraints. My last Corvette was a 68 and I just went to the dealer, ordered it, and eight weeks later had it. I had not kept up with Corvettes because I was running...

    Tomorrow we’ll show you the C7 Corvette (can't say if its real or BS but here goes)

    I just hope GM made the interior dimensions similar to the C5. I find the C6 a little lacking in interior space and I am not a big guy. If GM made the C6 steering column telescope out a few more inches it would have made a world of difference. My C5 has 3.35 inches of travel and the C6 1.25...

    Brakes Pulsing?

    I really don't feel a Vette with 25k very gentle miles should have a warped rotor. Whats a rotor out? Thanks

    Brakes Pulsing?

    I have a 2000 with 26,000 very easy miles on it. Last year I put on the chrome wheel drum covers and a new wheel and tire package from Tire Rack. The tires and wheels are perfect and role true to 150MPH the top speed I tested the package on. I put the wheels and tires on and torqued them...
