    C5 Car Cover Recommendations?

    I use a quality Cotton/Flannel cover on all my gararged cars. Indoor use only. These covers will not scratch the finish, are breathable and afford a good degree of protection if you have something fall on or lightly hit the Vette. If your walking by the Vette with a weed wacker etc. and bump...

    Siphoning Gas from C5 & C6 + More

    Question: Need Tire Advice

    I ordered the PS2 ZPs. I order them on a set of ZR1 wheels in C5 sizes. The wheels are back ordered and should be shipped next week. They will arrive with the PS2 ZPs mounted and balanced with new sensors. GTG. :beer

    Question: Need Tire Advice

    I don't know why I didn't think of going to the Chevy dealer to look at the ZR1. I can see them on a Vette only on a smaller scale.

    Question: Need Tire Advice

    I have been looking at these. I am between the PS A/S and the PS2ZP. Not to offend anyone but I am not crazy about the profile and tread look of the PS A/S. From the TireRack website the PS PS2 look more aggressive. I have to see them in person before I make up my mind.

    Question: Need Tire Advice

    Otherwise the current GY C5 OEM replacement are not as good as OEM GY C6 replacements? I have read the reviews at tire rack & OEM C5 runflats get bad reviews. I figured I would try the fourm to get specific answers. Thanks, Mike

    Question: Need Tire Advice

    I am replacing my OEM tires on my C5. 12 years old with 25K. Good tread left but they are very noisy. I have a 09 Coupe and the OEM tires are not noisy at all. Have the Good Year runflats been inproved or do all runflats get noisy when they get old, (like me). I really cannot recall what...

    Drive With No Hood ?

    I have to get a new hood for my C6 and it's located 250 miles away. If the weather is OK could I remove my current hood and dirve hoodless and have the new hood installed when I get to the destination? Just wondering about cooling issues or anything I am missing. What do you think. Thanks, Mike

    Question: 2010 Paint Options

    If you check the build numbers you will find AO is probably the least % of builds. I was going to get a 2010 but when I found out AO was discontinued I did a nation wide search and found my car 1,300 miles away. Picked it up 5/12. Well worth the trip for a new 09 AO coupe optioned the way I...

    Question: C6 Telescopic Steering Column Spacers ???

    Does any of our vendors make a column spacer for the C6. My C5 tele column has about a 4" travel and my C6 less than a inch&1/2 travel. Does anyone know if a 2" spacer could be added to the column. I cannot get comfortable with the current travel. It the column was about 2" further out when...

    Question: X Pipe Instalation Instructions ?

    I had the exhaust installed at a shop. Sometimes it pays to do that if you’re unsure of the install + I didn't have the tools for cutting the factory exhaust. It came out great. BTW, there are a number of threads about WCC not including instructions and calls to WCC regarding this are being...

    Billiy Boat Corvette?

    The only harm is someone is going to tell him and they might not be very nice about it. He could also lose a bet and some $$$$$$$. Don't forget, it's not if someone tells him, it's when. Help him not make a fool of himself and break it to him gently. I know if it was my car I would...
