    Hi, I have a 2008 with 6-spd paddle shift automatic .

    How old is the "average" C6 buyer?

    Sounds alike I bought my first one at 42, a C3, then to a C4 2X, but this is my first C6 and it has been the best one yet, easier to get in and out is a true FACT. Happy days are more to come if my plans fall right on sched, I will get my first C7 when I turn 67.

    Question: C6 Gas Fumes after fill up

    Vette Burgers! Ha! Ha! (LOL) After thinking about it, I think UR right and I am going to follow your advice about talking to management. The dealer should at least tell me to bring it in to inspect for minor leaks at the filler neck or crossover tube, or fuel pump seal on the gas tank, but...

    Advice on a 2008 C6 Purchase

    Posi- Moves Having owned older Vettes before and experiencing sometimes those chatter sounds and jerki-movements especially backing up or turning it has always been a Vette thing. Yes I have had the posi-fluid changed and it goes away, pretty much, but I think it is an inherent way of life...

    Question: C6 Gas Fumes after fill up

    Tip for avoiding gas fumes. In discussing this subject at a local classic car swap/meet/show in town, I was given a tip by another "Corvetter" who owns a 2005 - C6 Convertible. I have placed this "tip" in practice and it has stopped the gasoline smelling fumes in my garage after I fill her up...

    Question: C6 Gas Fumes after fill up

    Hib, Thank you for the analysis. I have noticed the smell is after I drive and put in the garage (after a ride). If the car spends a week without being started or run, I don't smell fumes. So it has to do after engine runs for a while. Next time I am at the dealer for an oil change, I...

    OK, so this is the same device is called a "Battery Charger" Is it not? If it is, I got one of those in my garage, which has a switch for 6/12 V and Slow or Rapid Charge, but I only use it when the battery is low or discharged. I didn't know they also called them "Battery Maintainer" or...

    Help! C6 Battery Replacement

    C6 Battery replacement Thanks LLC5, I ended up replacing the battery at the dealer today for $165.00 installed. After all, it is what came from factory. In my opinion, it cannot be underrated as I have read on some postings, if it is, there would have been a recall or service bulletin to...
