    Magnaflow or Corsa?

    Nick, I just put a pair of magnaflows on my LT-4 less than a month ago. They sound awesome. I'm in Alexandria (west end) so if you ever want to shoot by for a listen, just let me know. :beer Jeff

    LT4 I am about to buy a 96' LT4...need opinions

    The last eight characters of your VIN form a string that starts with the letter T. If the seven digits after the T lie within the range 5100052 through 5111116, or within 5600012 through 5600363, your car is included in the campaign.

    Black C5 which wax?

    You can also (safely) apply it to a black car that's been sitting in the sun for a while! A lot of waxes are only supposed to be applied to a cool finish.

    C4 vs C5 - long read

    Warren, great post... THANK YOU. I have been considering a similar change (from my 95 A4 to an 02 Z06) but am just not too enthused about going back to a stick owing to the mostly stop and go driving that I currently do.

    K&N Air Filters!!!

    I'm also a long-time K&N user. Currently have the SLP claw installed entailing 3 conical K&Ns. Had been running with the open airbox but the claw seems to allow for marginally better performance, seat of the pants. JV

    Black C5 which wax?

    Liquid Glass ...is by far my favorite. I have been using it on all my vehicles for many years. Get yourself some and try it out! Look for the 64 Vette on the front of the tin. JV

    Got a ????

    -------------- I always wondered if that smooth hose was worth the money ($50. from Mid-America per my new catalog.) BTW I did install a Mid-America airfoil fwd of the throttle body a year ago and felt an improvement. I went with the one-piece press-fit type ($50.), not the bolt-in kind ($30.)...

    Got a ????

    Mike- I was and continue to be very happy with it. I have used K&N filters in all my vehicles for many years. The SLP device is solid and well engineered and comes with three K&N conical filters that you connect to the ends of the three air intake pipes on the "claw." All hardware for the...

    Street Legal Performance http://www.slponline.com/view_product.asp?PARTNUMBER=21028 This is the URL for the claw that fits my 95 LT1. The claw is a cold air induction device that replaces your stock airbox. It has 3 conical K&N air filters. It`s easy to attach and will definitely give you...

    Got a ????

    I`m with tlong spot-on on this one. I had exactly the same experience. I sent the cut-open air lid back to Mid_America because it didnt seem to seal right... the kit included a tube of grease that you were supposed to smear on the foam weatherstripping (also included) that you had to attach...

    Why do people tailgate Corvettes?

    I`m with those who say that it`s a jealousy thing. A couple days after buying my 95 LT-1 last December, while one car back at a stoplight in Alexandria, VA, a strong smell of oil-based exhaust filled the car. Frantically hecking gauges and mirrors for clues, I realized that the sh*tbum in front...

    First time Vette shopper needs help

    Been driving my 95 A4 for about 9 months and am very happy with it. No problems at all. Bought it with 30K on the odo and have since performed a few minor mods (SLP claw, Granatelli MAF tuned for cold air, airfoil, and a couple of Magnaflows to let it breathe better). Highly recommend this...

    Cleaning the Vette

    Mine sits outside on my driveway year round. The only thing I rush to clean off on a regular basis is the bird crap so it doesn't bake on (there's a phone cable right over my driveway, unfortunately; been trying to figure out a way to electrify it :D ) Weekly washes with the car wash soap that...

    New C4 Owner

    Congratulations Randy!

    Need some opinions on C4's please...

    FoN I recommend you purchase a black 95 LT-1. Try Autotrader.com, that's how I bought mine.
