    Sure, it's possible. Try it and find out how much they stick out. Call it an experiment. If ur gonna go 285's up front, you might as well go with 345's out back. I did...

    C-6 Exhaust Upgrade

    Too late! I had my NPP exhaust R & R by Godzilla and he banged around the top of the trans case. Well, there's a reverse lock-out electrical solenoid there. At least there's supposed to be. Anyway, after my exhaust was done, I HAD NO REVERSE. But, I DID have a CEL. $300 later, I had a...

    New key fob

    You gotta "tell" the car that the new FOBS is #1. Have you done the FOBS re-learn thing? When waiting your 15 minutes, be sure to have your 4-way hazards "on." This won't allow your ECM to go to "sleep." Don't forget to push the unlock button on the FOBS. This tells the car it's a new #1. FOBS.

    Poor Customer Service with WCC, West Coast Corvette

    Got a price for 2 sets of tires that were take offs. Drove up (2 hours) in my pick-up to get them, and the price changed by $350/set. Didn't buy them. I don't do business with "bait & switch" outfits... They've missed out on thousands of $$$ of business because of that. I'll buy from their...

    News: Collapse at National Corvette Museum sends cars into sinkhole

    Wow, what a shame. Can you imagine if this happened during their "5 year" get together?:ugh

    LS7 valve guide wear

    Interestingly, MY 2007 Z06's supposedly had the "suspect" rockers. Looks like the only thing to do is to verify that your valvetrain is the way it should be. (I don't want to use the term "spec" because it's just too sloppy, IMO)

    2014 Corvette Stingray Spotted in the Wild

    Yesterday (07APR13) I was riding my Triumph in the local mountains East of Sandy Eggo. It was 2pm and I was about a mile from Lake Cuyamaca restaurant when I come around a bend and there's a fleet of C7's heading my way. I didn't have enuf time to shoot some photos (altho my bike was wearing a...

    Warning! Classic Chevrolet Sugarland Wrecked My Z06 and Don't w

    What with all the legaleze and pain in the butt of having to deal with "diminished value" (If it's allowed in the OP's State, I would have taken the "New car for $15,000" Alex.) Having only $15,000 in a new C6 Corvette mean you stand to make $35,000 to $40,000 by selling it. These are numbers...

    Long Tubes and w/Stock Program

    I for one am glad "those days are long gone." Gone are the days of making 330HP and getting 6 mpg. Those old cars may have been nostalgic, but todays cars are better in every way (except price or resale value!) If my Z06 only got 6MPG on the highway, I likely wouldn't have bought it. It's...

    Help with tire wear/alignment

    The alignment specs are about a mile wide for the Corvette. If your alignment shop can't get it "within spec," then search for an alignment shop that doesn't have Helen Keller working as a tech. Yes, because of neg. camber, the insides of the fronts will wear appreciably. It's something you...

    Any differences in LS7 engines

    The stock LS7 is rated @ 470lb.ft. I would suggest using a 4L80 trans as it has a higher capacity. They can be built for lots of power. Now, if money were no object, I'd look at the 6L90 from the blown Caddy. That trans IS rated for a lot more torque than what the LS7 makes. You'll want to...

    18&19 z06 tire experiences

    toppthat~ Realizing you're on a budget, I would say Michelin Pilot Sports. Are they cheap? Nope. Do they last twice as long as all the other tires, thus saving money in the long run? You betcha, they do! Sometimes, "cheap" tires cost more than better tires that last longer...

    D30 "Color Override" option

    After reviewing the 2012 Porduction #'s, I ran across "D30" Color Override" option. What IS that? All I know is 58 cars had it. None were Z06's. Are there 58 "Mary Kay" Corvettes running around?;LOL

    Blue Bullet Blog-The C6 Ownership Experience

    Hib, I would have sub'd PS2's for your road trip. They work very well, and last a long time. Your "cups" are going to be junk by the time you get to Santa Barbara. That's a shame because those cups are great tires, just not for the purpose you're using them for. Oh well, it's too late now, enjoy...

    With Viper splitting from Dodge, should Corvette have separated from Chevy?

    Having a dealership that knows it's product is good business. There is always going to be a "new" salesperson that doesn't know everything about every car on their lot. That would be impossible as models change specs and dealerships change sale staff. Now, would I like a "specialist" that...
