The Blur ridge parkway and the Tail ? Thank you Jane Ann, I found the northern start of the BRP at just off VI RT.66 at Front Royal Vi. and I'll print out the map listed here. I want to do the whole shindig in a relaxed manner so I can enjoy it all. I have read that the "Tail of the Dragon"...

OK, I'm taking the C5 out on the road to cruise the Blue Ridge Parkway all the way to the bottom, then stop to see a friend in Orlando, back on the road to Nashville, up 59 to the bowling Green Factory and the museum, ( I didn't know the factory tours end Sept. 13) and lastly back up though the...

Good taste follows each other ! OH boy, you went with the dark burl-wood, I picked the medium burl-wood and I did my rear console, the front trim switch panel and the door handle surrounds. Lots of people say "Why didn't you go for Carbon fiber?" First off Carbon fiber looks sort of out of...

New/Old consoles I've had the console on my living room floor all morning, and I think I have the answer, The consoles are all the same, with two exceptions, One, the gas door switch is totally different in a 1997 from 2003, and the switch itself fits into an adapter and the adapter fits...

Flying tops ? The first few years of the C5 this happened a lot, I mean a really often. But over time folks learned that it was good insurance to just reach up and make sure the top latch was locked before hitting the road. I have a 2003 coupe and I'm sorta embarrassed to say I've never had the...

Does anyone know of a thin insulation to put under the console before I put it back together ? Thank you !

The difference in years, You can bet on it. But you'll see the 97 console has a switch that snaps into an adapter, and it snaps into the console. On the 2003 the gas door switch snaps into the console alone. It can only go in one way. I'll post pic's. :w

Console differences ? I have always followed your advice and I consider you the expert next to Junkman2008. But gentlemen, there is no way to install the gas door switch into the 1997 console. I bought another 2003 shale colored rear console from Vettenuts Inc. and when you place the 1997 next...

Searching for the truth ! I have a 2003 gas door switch and power outlet for a 2003 and there's no way the gas door switch will fit. It's part Number #10402194 it has a calender molded into the underside which dates it's date of manufacture as June 1997. It was done by Craft Customes in...

Console changes ? I'm really flustered with this change in the rear consoles. One of my Friends suggested splicing a 1997 gas door switch and the same year extra power outlet, but with my luck they'll be different too. And I don't want to cut up the wiring for this kind a "Fix". :ugh

Differences in a 1997 to 04 consoles ? I'm trying to swap out the console in my 2003 with one I had customized by a small company and it came back looking stuning. BUT, none of the gas door switch or the power outlets now will fit it. I never thought of wither there was any difference in the...

Still looking for a AMG battery ? Looking for a good battery is one thing, but trying to find a top of the line AGM battery is hitting a rough spell. Exide and Optima make them, but I haven't found much to pick from.

Video given bt C4C5 ! I watched both of the Video's and I believe what he says about 80% of the column lock problem being a low or bad battery. Just from owning a Optima Red Top, I have listened to so many people who bad mouth the battery as junk cause it was drained and when they took it to...

New Battery ? Good advice, what the AC Delco Proffessional sell for,is it a AGM battery & does it come in a 75 series so it'll fit OK. Another Optima sells for close to $200.00 ?

The SOUND of reasoning . . . I'm with you. I just read a Consumer Reports, (I'm not positive that the rag it was in) But never the less, the outcome of the judging of the best "Sports Car" was clearly the 2012 Corvette ZO6, BUT they picked the Ford Mustang simply because as very close second...

Retro. . . . Personally I thought they all sucked from the get go, but what the hell do I know ? And then there's the cars with all Letter names, CTS, DST , EX, SRX, GTX and on and on, You feel like a foreigner trying to buy a car in Mexico City ?

I have a Optima Red Top in my 2003 50th Anniversary coupe, and it's given me 6 long years, but I have a headache over reading al the different opinions and sage advice on what AGM battery to use this time around. You name the brand, and I've read the pro's & Con's on each brand and all the...

Chuck Cow ? Chuck Cow, or Corvettes of Westchester in about twenty miles up the Holland river from NYC. It takes about 1.5 hours from me in Philadelphia. Once entering WestChecter you get off the thruway at Route 9 North and being slow and careful, (Roads are terrible, but I guess their bad...

Slow problems ? You have a bad fuel pump which has the diaphram rubtured. It ha leaked into your crankcase. I advise 1. don't run the engine as the oil is contaminated with motor oil, 2 remove the fuel pump and replace with a new one. 3. Drain the Motor oil and filter with fresh oil and a new...

Brake problems ? I don't know the here & what, but the type of brake fluid you used and as mentioned above, suspension could cause it, but I'd think if the ball joints were that bad the wheel would buckle under the car on a heavy braking situation. Like wise I'd rule out the mastercylinder...
