    Is C6 as noisy as C5 ?

    I had a "02" and I loved the way it sounded at idle. At speed no problem with excessive noise. My "05" now doesn't have the idle sound like the "02" I miss that rumble. At speed or leading up to it the "05" sounds different but by no means loud.

    My new C6 has arrived

    I can get over the lights and the grill which I like. It's that damn front plate I'm going to have to put on the nose that really twists me. Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!

    My new C6 has arrived

    Well I took delivery last Friday. WOW! Funny how when you get a new car the combination of excitement and nerves makes it more difficult to drive. Ha. GM certainly did a fantastic job. Tighter than the C5. More responsive and predictable. Loving the Lemans Blue color. Oh and did I mention that...

    My new C6 has arrived

    I really loved my "02" however I had more of the common problems with the "02" than my "99" Fuel gauge, battery, door harness, steering lock etc. The "05" is one of the last one's off the line so hopefully some of the early production bugs are fixed. To be honest I wasn't too fond of the new...

    C6 lease

    I lease my 2002 and looking now for a 05. My 02 coupe fully loaded cost me almost $800 a month with no money down. $2000 deposit, and out the door. I should have the details on the new one today or tomorrow. By the way it was a 39 month lease.

    Exhaust Plate

    Had my exhaust plate on for over 3 years. Never a problem. Just be sure to clean the area where your sticking it with alcohol. I even removed mine from my 99 and replaced the tape to re-install. Been up to 140+

    Looking for a good body shop, NYC / L.I. area

    Started my Thursday morning with someone rear ending me while I was driving down the ramp to my parking garage. Big SUV with those push bars on the front. No damage to him of course but he pushed in the rear hard enough to bulge out the right rear fender. Bent the exhaust too. I was at a bad...

    Squeak and Rattle Passenger Door

    The squeak I don't know but I had a rattle that at first drove me crazy. Of course I thought of all the hard things first but it turned out that the passenger seatbelt buckle was rattling on the door, right by the reflector. So simple but I missed it so many times. Just a thought.

    Won't start on first try.

    UPDATE. Well I was on a business trip in Conn. when my problem was happening quite often. So I called C4C5 and it turns out he's about 1 hour from where I am. He tells me come on down I'll be waiting for you. So after Paul and I do a little verbal trouble shooting turns out what's...

    Won't start on first try.

    The past 2 days my 2002 coupe when trying to start the engine it acts like it's going to start but then just dies. Usually the second try the engine starts up fine. No codes. Any ideas???

    A Solution to the C6 Front Plate Dilemma?

    The only problem with that is I've already got a ticket while parked with no front plate. There's got to be a better way.....

    Spark plug wires part 2

    Just thought I'd let anyone know that was interested that the car went back intoday. They found a vacuum hose loose at the thottle body. My guess is they knocked it off. Have a great weekend.

    Spark plug wires part 2

    Ok let's try this again. 2 wires replaced, car runs much better, however, the idle is a little rough. I'm thinking maybe due to the bad wires that the plugs may be slightly fouled. No codes, full throttle ok, just low revs are rough. Maybe just a good blast down the highway will clear things up...

    Spark plug wires??

    I'm going to take a wild guess here and say this isn't common. Dealer replaced 2 plug wires and ordered the part for the wheel lock recall. Should he have changed all 8? I got a bad feeling about this. C4/C5 I know your familiar with the problems I've had. Any of this connected with the battery...

    Spark plug wires??

    Since my battery shorted on my 2002 Coupe it seems like I've had nothing but trouble. Wheel lock won't release at times, AC turns off by itself and yesterday the car started mis-firing and the check engine light came on. So I dropped it at the dealer this morning along with the steering lock...

    How To Defeat the 1 to 4 Skip Shift- a guide for the mechanically challenged

    2nd C5 and never really understood why this is an issue with most Vette owners. Good job MsSchroder on the details of the CAGS by-pass. I drive into Manhattan everyday. Traffiic can be a bit ugly, but just accelerate or let off the gas to get beyond the forced shift and I've never thought the...
