    Excellent transition for Corvette. The technology is amazing and clearly will take the corvette to an even higher level of world class sports car domination.

    The truth about tires

    I'm not a big fan of runflat tires.. I've been running my z06 with two sets of goodyears that came standard with the car.. Then a set of michelin pilot sports.. and now the Toyo proxi's..which delivered in at 762 dollars... I have to say the Toyos are an excellent tire. I'd buy...

    The ZR1 was truly the king of the hill. I hope that the press uses that tag line when the new ZR1 releases! Always best of the best.

    GM plans 2009 C6 w/450 hp LS3 w/direct Injection

    the 08 is an amazing vehicle. Don't let this post keep anyone from buying one. That said the future of the corvette has a lot of life left in it. 475hp for the base corvette is not too hard to imagine and it seems to be sooner rather than later.

    Magna supercharger

    I think its a good way to go. Usually about 8 grand installed at ECS creme ridge NJ or the vette doctors out in amityville long island NY. Its a nice package as long as you don't mind the bulging hood. Thats the one I would do if I were to mod again. Is got a good reliability record and...

    low power

    my votes on vacuum leak. Also perform normal maintaince like change the pcv valve if your year has one. Check your spark plug wires with double clicks on the coils. Make sure the bottom is on tight. Don't wash the engine compartment... Wipe it down in the future. I don't like the idea of...

    Z06 versus Jaguar XKR. Who wins and why???

    The vette is more often than not given the thumbs up by men and kids...Young teenage or mid twenties girls.. The girls in their mid to late twenties, and thirties really dig Jag U ARS! Both great cars ...The z06 will smoke the jag in performance but in elegance? The Jag smokes the vette...

    paddle shifters

    Thats some good informaiton. I'm going to have to try the new Z51 A6 as I hear its got the 2.73 rear instead of the 2.56 so thats got to be a nice jump on the new Automatic six speed. I've had a 99C5 A4 and it was a great drag racer. I now have the M12 with 3.73's in my Z06 and its a blast...

    Z06 With an Automatic Transmission . . ?

    btw in featured articles over the years the Dual clutch sequential transmission is a few hundred dollars more to produce and install than a standard transmission. What the manufacturers decide to charge is their own business. VW and Audi charge about 1200 dollars over the standard manual...

    Z06 With an Automatic Transmission . . ?

    There is a chance I might throw back a brew, laugh and agree with you except GM can't get the dam clutch pedal to work on these cars (about 10%) as the miles pile on.. No fun driving a kick @ss serious sports car like the corvette when the clutch pedal lays on the floor at 6000 rpm in 3 rd...
