    I was reading car and driver tire test and ordered new tires! LOL You'll never guess

    I'm sorry I did not do the research on runflats for the C6. For the best value? i'd say shop the corvetteforum.com for sale section.. There are usually a lot of guys selling runflat tires with very low mileage for a very good price. Good luck JB

    What is your opinion of this new engine technology that Runkel is pushing out!

    Home | EcoMotors Anybody ever hear of this new engine technology? Does it have any legs? Will it actually work for 100,000 miles reliably? Will it actually meet fuel efficiency and emissions standards? Any insight to this new engine technology? Look whose CEO? EcoMotors Names Donald L...

    C7 Info

    On the net right now...those in the know are saying GM is getting 20 to 25 percent increase in hp...True gm tends to retune their motors with a slighter greater balance towards fuel efficiency.. Engine is being developed locally in St Catharines. Is aluminum with DI and there are no...

    Z51 Option

    Yes your absolutely right.. still as an owner of an 08 z51 had I known that a few months later a wide body wider wheels,wider tires, dry sump oiling system and a launch control ..I would have waited and gladly had paid the extra 5 grand it would have cost me... Of course the 2009's were the...

    C7 Info

    Maybe we'll see direct injection which usually gives about 8 tp 14 percent better hp and fuel efficiency too? If I remember correctly the 3.6 liter Direct injection in my 08 CTS offered 50 extra hp over the 3.6 non DI motor (304 vs 255hp (almost 20 percent higher hp) and I think the gas...

    Z51 Option

    I think a lot of the guys who like the idea of the Z51 decided that instead of buying a leftover z51 they would go for the slightly more expensive but even better packaged Grand Sport.. (I believe right now I could buy a grand sport for 51 grand minus 3 grand in bonus points) 49 net which is a...

    C7 On Indefinite Hold - How long till we see a new Corvette?

    I appreciate the link but the article is dated oct 2008? It was just a few months back in 2009 that we heard april 2012 for the c7 release.. Probably GM will pay back the government before the c7 release but rumor is....that payback will happen next year.(june)

    2 years of ownership today

    I recently got an email from GM that I owned by C6 Z51 w/npp exhaust for 2 years this past november... It has 24k miles on it. What a great vehicle. GM outdid themselves with the C6. Imo.. Fast, comfortable and relatively inexpensive. of course I'm digging the new 2010 Grand Sport coupe with...

    C7 Info

    I'm not sure...but I believe after the news of cancelling any hope of a mid engine corvette (which I'm glad to hear) I heard that the C7 will release April 2012. I guess you know best...but it will be interesting what happens April of 2012. Thanks JB

    New Cadillac Concept, CTS-V Coupe To Ring In The New Year

    I agree...I have a 2008 CTS 304hp FE2 AWD sedan and its awesome. Still I can't help but wish the LS3 in my vette was available with awd in the cts.. I'd buy a new one if it were available. I do have to say I test drove the CTS V and its an awesome car. I'm half tempted to buy one but holding...

    I was reading car and driver tire test and ordered new tires! LOL You'll never guess

    Billy I too had two c5's and even though the Goodyears that came standard on my 2008 z51 were an improvement over the previous c5 runflats.. The hankook evo 12's are much better than even the new generation runflats on my z51 equipped 2008. Hope this helps and thats even without taking into...
