    Billiy Boat Corvette?

    The only thing that would make it any faster is it weighed around 100 lbs less than the Coupe and Vert. I am surprised that a dealer would refer to it as a "Billy Bob" because that was a degrading name for the FRC. It denoted it as being cheap and marketed toward the trailer park crowd. If I...

    Billiy Boat Corvette?

    When the FRC came out it was made to be a entry level inexpensive Vette, considering you got the 6 speed incluced. It got the red neck nic name Billy Bob Corvette because it was the lowest priced model. No roll cage either. The Bose radio was a option along with other things that were...

Marks and spots etc. BTW its a garage queen. I wanted the marks and spots off and if the top got ruined so be it. I do the laundry in my in...

    Mag Red Owners Only

    IMHO Its the best color ever on a vette. Mine is almost five years old and I love it as much as the first day I first saw it. Would buy another in a heartbeat.

    Which one, How much, Install $$$$$

    After much thought I am ready to dump my factory exhaust. I am leaning toward the B&B PRT. I really like look of the oval tips. I have heard the B&B Route 66s in person and I think they are to quiet. The only PRTs I have heard is audio clips and its hard to tell from those. I am looking for a...

    LS2 question

    Can you swap a LS2 for a LS1? I don't care about the computer changes etc. All I want to know if it will physically bolt right up. Thanks

    Winter storage questions

    First get rid of the trickle charger an hook up a battery tender. If the car is already in storage and you have a air compressor put about 40 psi in the tires. If not don't worry about it. Don't worry about taking the weight off the suspension either its better to just let it sit for the...

    Who here is getting a C6?

    Oh, do we pay income taxes in RI. We have a state piggy back tax thats about 25% of our federal income tax. RI is one of the most highly taxed states in the nation.

    Lock your C-6

    Are there any spy pics that show the drivers door? In the San Francisco pics you could only see the passengers door. Are there any pics I missed?

    Lock your C-6

    Buster, are you talking about door handles or lock cylinders? There have been no lock cylinders on the passengers side of C5s starting with the 2000s.

    Who here is getting a C6?

    I would go for the C6 if it wasn't for the taxes. When I purchased my C5 I paid $3,780 state sales tax, $1,080 fed luxury tax, and to the town I live $2,262 property tax paid the first year and $42 per thousand valuation each and every year after. Total for the first year, $7,122 in taxes. So...

    Radio question?

    I am replacing my cassette head unit with a CD head unit. The casette unit controls the factory changer. Do all Corvette radios have the capability to control the factory CD changers or just the ones ordered with changers. Will a CD head unit that was ordered in a car without the changer...
