I have a red 88 that is probably pretty much a clone of what you have (auto and 3.07). Only I have about 51K on it. Even idling a lot in a parade and a lot of city driving the worse I've ever gotten is about 17 mpg. I keep track of all my mileage and I range anywhere from 17 to 26 mpg depending...

Hey I use to live in Madison. Off of County Line Road. Moved back to St. Louis almost 5 years ago. There are two places you could look into for help. Zeke Jenkins who runs Corvettes Unlimited has been in business for years and I would trust him with anything. I was in Valley Vettes with...

I don't know if this helps but my brother has an 08 JSB pretty much like yours only an auto and a 4LT with all the bells and whistles. He's wanting to get a new GS. He said he'd sell it to me for $46K which I assume is more than the dealer is going to give him on a trade. He only has about 6K...

Gee thanks. I got car sick watching it and puked on my keyboard!!!:D I'm going to lie down now. Ron "Baldie88" P.S. Fantastic Video!!!!!!

There is also this place if you are looking for a replacement. Corvette t-tops replacements T-tops by Astro Tops Thompson Astro Tops Roof Panels for your corvette!. Ron "Baldie88"

If I recall correctly, BarryK, who I use to see frequently on here but not much anymore, was instrumental in getting this show started. I remember asking him a couple years ago how he set it up since I was thinking of trying it at one of our local malls. Ron "Baldie88"

Hey Zippy, I'll be there also. I would like to check out your new ride. Shouldn't be too hard to find among the 5000 other Vettes. Saw pictures on another post. Haven't seen a ZR1 up close yet. I promise to wear a bib so I don't drool on it! :D Looking forward to a great time. Ron...

We have a friend who was Kyle's chief engineer when he was racing the Nationwide #5 car a couple years ago. He has now gone on to be a crew chief and has worked with several other drivers. He said of everyone he has worked with, Kyle has the most talent of any driver. He also said that he...

I had the exact same problem as yours. I bypassed the VATS, cleaned all ground connections, replaced the starter interrupt relay behind the DIC, got a new battery. Even jumping it, it would only start one out of 10 times. It wasn't until I actually replaced the starter itself was the problem...

Can't speak from experience since I've got an 88 but a guy in the club has them on his '07 vert and loves them. I've been behind him on cruises and they sound great with just the right amount of loudness. Ron "Baldie88"

Anyone going besides me? I'll be in the Nebraska-Kansas-Missouri group. One of the guys in the club is the caravan captain for the group. We're going to take a side trip up to Mid-America Designs on Sep 2 since some of the folks don't get to visit it regularly like those of us that live...

I put some Kumho Esta ASX's on mine last year and couldn't be happier. Got them from Tire Rack. I can't remember exactly what I paid but I think it was around $550 for a set of 4. Had the local dealer put them on for $60. I had a lot of recommendations for these tires. The tires and KYB...

That wheel looks to be what came stock on 88s with the 17" wheels and on all 89. Just check my picture. Ron "Baldie88"

I've seen them several times on e-Bay but haven't logged on there in a while. You might start there. Happy hunting! Ron "Baldie88"

We have a family friend who is a crew chief in the Nationwide series. When he was coming up the ranks he was an engineer on Kyle's Nationwide car. He said that Kyle is probably the best driver he's ever seen. He could be going flat out at Talledega and on the radio be talking about where there...

Thanks Jane Ann. I look at VetteTube all the time and didn't even think of posting it there. Ron "Baldie88"

I have a short video a friend sent titled the fastest 57 Chevy in the world. It is a 57 truck with twin jet engines. I wanted to post it but saw that .wmv files is not a valid extension. It it possible to post it? I can send the file to any moderator that wants to look at it to make sure it is...

I had the same problem with mine. Some people have had success in cleaning the contacts. You'd have to do a search as I can't remember the exact procedure as it's been probably 6 years ago when I had the problem. But I ended up just getting a new control anyway. Pretty expensive, I think...

Hi Cajun, As far as the transmission shift points, all I remember is that just normal pulling away from a stop sign, mine will shift out of first at about 15-20mph. But if you get on it, it won't shift till about 45mph. Just normal driving you will probably be in 4th at around 45mph. All to...

It's me again, from your other post on what to do with the underside paint on your car. You will get many different opinions on oil but for me the local dealer uses a Castrol synthetic blend. They switched over from a straight oil about a year ago. No problems with the switch. As for the...
