    Corvette Racing Finishes Second in 24 Hours of Le Mans

    I don't follow these races that much, but is it true that the Vettes carry extra weight to slow them down & give the Aston's an advantage? I thought I read that somewhere. :)

    Z06 Blows Engine at the Track

    I have to wonder, was the guy in the black jacket & holding the fire extinguisher waiting until the fire got going really good? What caused it?

    Pop the trunk

    I lubed my 04, went from 1/4 to 3/4 inch just from lube (white grease).

    FS Grand Sprt rims - chrome

    Stick out a bit depending on what tire size you mount. Look is sort of cool from the back IMHO. :)

    FS Grand Sprt rims - chrome

    ##SOLD##FS Grand Sport rims - chrome Excuse all the pics but I know when guys are buying rims a lot of pics are necessary. I tried to show everything & there are many shadows & reflections that appear in the photos. Those are not scratches in the chrome, it's just really...

    LT4 LT4 vs. LS1

    I'll stand by 300-350. My 04 Z with a 1/4 tank of gas scaled at 3075 lbs. You are saying my LT4 with the same gas load weighs in at 3275, right? At the 2006 SCCA National Tour my LT4 scaled (on official scales) a bit over 3400. That does include a harness bar (25 lbs) so lets call the car 3375...

    LT4 LT4 vs. LS1

    I took off the rear bar last night & put the base bar back in. Doing the front today & watch the Daytona too. Busy day. The bars make the car work like a Vette should. I remember how I was sort of disappointed in the handling when I first got mine. Engine was awesome but it floated & leaned...

    LT4 LT4 vs. LS1

    Hey, I have the stock big bars (F&R) for the 96 I will be selling on CF, also Z51 springs (correct for 1996). If you need those keep an eye out - next couple of weeks. I do not seem to get email notice of posts to the cac threads (even though I have it selected) so email direct thru my...

    LT4 LT4 vs. LS1

    Hi JEFNLSA, Of course, I was referring to stock for stock. You have a very tasteful set of mods on yours & it would be fun to see how it ran against a stock z. Keep in mind the z shaves about 300-350 lbs over the LT4. Also as I drive my z it seems to jump thru 1st & 2nd VERY FAST. I am not...

    LT4 LT4 vs. LS1

    I have an LT4 & z06. I love the LT4 and it will run with the BASE C5 cars but not a z06, nevertheless it's a great car & you will be very happy with it. So far as ZR1 goes, not having the pleasure of owning one of those I can't say. It's a pretty strong motor, a bit heavier than LT4, but I think...

    LT4 LT4: matching intake manifold ports to intake gasket - comments?

    Depending on the cam, I think you are going to be a very happy camper with these mods. Going to do edits to the computer?

    LT4 LT4: matching intake manifold ports to intake gasket - comments?

    That looks like a "healthy" difference. Did you quantify the performance gain? Or done along w/ other mods?

    Acura NSX....Any Competition?

    I have run against them a number of times in SCCA AS class solo. Fairly well driven, I think, but not the top hot shot. Never have a problem beating them. I do think they are a cool car, looks, handling, short on hp/tq.
