    Hot rubber smell

    No, but with my 2011 Z06 I get a very strong smell of natural gas when stopping with a quick lift throttle. At first I thought I was in the middle of a huge gas leak in the area but it contiued to follow so I knew it was me. It has been confirmed by seveal Chevrolet mechanics but nobody has been...

    2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Speculatively Animated

    Let's just hope it doesn't have those Pachenko Parlor lights all over it and in the headlamps. The Japanese aren't always right, you know.

    Question: TPMS sensor compatibility with aftermarket wheels?

    The compatibility issue is a mechanical fit only. If they can be installed without air leakage, they will work. I had Fikse wheels put on my C5 and the sensors fit perfectly. There was no issue with the operation of the sensors. So, if they fit, they work. Good luck.

    Blue Bullet Blog-The C6 Ownership Experience

    Sounds like you're making good time and sticking with the schedule. You must have caught a draft with a yellow Corvette. Paul

    Blue Bullet Blog-The C6 Ownership Experience

    Okay, okay, now that you have made it public, I have to shame you with the true facts on VY ZO6s. Why do you think the Corvette Race Team changed from blue to yellow colors? Because the yellow cars proved to be faster. Why did Chevrolet call the yellow, Velocity Yellow? Because it has the...

    Not a good year

    Tuna, I suggest you get out of Oklahoma asap. I'm sure a tsunami is headed that way by now. Check the oxygen sensor as several in our club have had that problem. Take care, pard. Paul

    Question: Corvette Insurance — Who??

    Give Adam Boca a call at the National Corvette Museum. If your area is covered, he may save you some money.

    News: Sebring ALMS

    Hey 6 Shooter, that is one cool Jake picture. Is it a poster? If not, it should be.

    Feast Your Eyes on the C7 Corvette!

    I don't care for the deep crease in the hood but that along with the huge rear side vents could spell mid-engine. I believe the hood ornament is the one from the Stingray concept car. Could get interesting.

    oil filters

    Welcome to the CAC. Based on all the filter tests I have read, I would never use a Fram filter.

    Rear End Oil Leak.

    Yep, had the same problem on my 2003 and I know of three or four other 03 owners with the same problem. There is a tech bulletin out on the problem and your dealer should be able to tell you what is entailed in the fix. It isn't a quick fix as the rear end has to be dropped and as I recall it is...

    Wax or Polish Question

    Your friend is correct. Polish does not offer paint protection unless it is a product that contains both a polish and wax. Those products that have both are usually inferior to those that are seperate. There are three steps to paint protection, clay bar, polish, and wax. To determine if you...

    Dec. 2008: It's time for Americans to take their blinders off

    Rob, I cannot disagree with your argument that we need our automobile manufacturing capabilities. The thought of a foreign logo on our beloved Corvette is indeed repugnant. With full support for saving our companies, I must profoundly question the government's approach to that salvation. A quick...

    How do I justify 2 Corvettes?

    Dear Searcher, how long do you plan on living and how much money do you want to die with? The only two criteria for living well. Enjoy. Paul

    Are you a member of the National Corvette Museum (NCM) If so, why? If not, why?

    Please read my last post. I do appreciate being called elitist however. My wife has been trying to instill a little class in me for years and she would be proud. As far as a non enthusiast running the NCM, we tried that route for several years and as you may or may not know, the museum...

    Are you a member of the National Corvette Museum (NCM) If so, why? If not, why?

    Hey Yoda and Baldie88. Great inputs. It's always good to hear other points of view and know what people are thinking about Corvette subjects. I know it's hard to seperate the GM/NCM connection but as you know, GM provides little to no monetary support to the museum but are always there at events...
