    Question: Is it EVER too COLD to take out the Corvette?

    I'd be concerned about the aging gel coat freezing and causing more stress cracks. Next time in gets to Zero in So. Cal. I'll chime in. ;LOL

    Where are others in Orange County, CA.?

    I was there, I had my CTS-V parked nose to nose with the burgundy '68 big block roadster. The other local spot is Huntington Beach at Magnolia and Adams on Saturday from sunrise to 8am. Lots of street rods go there, but in the 3rd row there's several GM nuts, some nice older Vettes, GTO's and...

    Help! BATTERY CHARGER

    Mine is actually a bit different than either, but it fits fine. I just reach around behind my seat when I park and give the Knob a spin. My battery never seems to burn out anymore either. Aside from accidentally leaving something on, the clock will kill your battery in a couple of weeks. The...

    LS1 vs zz4 or 383

    Crazy RPM's at 70MPH? What rear end is in that car? I have no idea if this will work in a Vette, but the price sure is right! http://www.cadillacforums.com/cadillac-classifieds/showproduct.php?product=3453 New in the box for $1,300!

    LS1 vs zz4 or 383

    My Dad has a '99 Vette with an LS1, I've used the car a ton and 30 MPG highway is real and normal. I own a LS6 Cadillac and the MPG is no where near as good at 13 city and 19 highway. If you do go with an LS motor, the LS1 will likely produce the best MPG and there are tons of mods available...

    LS1 vs zz4 or 383

    The ZZ383 with 3.08 rear and a Turbo 400 gets crap for mileage, where my 350's were pretty decent on MPG with the same trans and rear end. I hope that helps!

    electic fan ?

    I think I have a 17" pusher that comes on when I turn on the AC. I seem to remember searching around to find one that moved a good amount of CFM and didn't make a bunch of noise, it has it's own shroud. Stupid thing draws lots of AMPs, so I have an upgraded Alternator (probably the same one...

    ZZ383?

    Oh, comfort level! I can't say I ever noticed a difference between headers and stock on that issue. If my car is hotter inside due to headers I sure can't tell (it's roasting hot in there). I don't see where headers would be any hotter than the cast iron 300lb manifolds that came with the...

    After Market Muffler Question

    The Magnaflows are only noisy when you stand on it, I found the flowmasters to be headache in a can with high levels of resonance and interior noise at most times. Since I've had both, I know this to be true. I had Dynomax mufflers on my car for few days, I took them off directly because they...

    ZZ383?

    I've had headers in my car for many years, I feel free to run it to the local desert 110+ degrees. How is this harming my car? ;shrug I understood the heat wraps ect., were to enhance the exhaust flow and help the air get out smooth and fast.

    After Market Muffler Question

    Sorry in advance to all the Flowmaster followers. I've had Blowmasters, they put way to much noise inside the car. I'm currently running magnaflows on my Vette and my LS6 Cadillac, the Magnaflows put the sound out the back (good design) and in everyone elses face which is where the sound...

    ZZ383?

    I'm pretty sure I could have used my stock intake manifold, but why spend all that money on a ZZ383 and not put a good High Performance Aluminum Dual Plane intake? Regarding the exhaust, again I'm pretty sure the stock exhaust manifolds will work (I think they may have been on my car for about...

    C3 TIRES

    Biggest I could ever put on my '69 was 245 60 15. My car has more miles on it than the space shuttle, so maybe my front suspension is a bit worn and sagging.

    You have a newer car, I couldn't ever have run 255/60/15's on the front of my old sled.

    C3 TIRES

    I'm a bit foggy today, but I think you want to go with 235 60 15s. I'd bet on the 70's rubbing a bit from time to time.
