Interesting that GM will cease production of the C6 for "several months" to deplete existing inventory, prior to releasing the C7. I guess those that want to "negotiate down" a price on a new C6 with C7's on the lot will get shut out. :chuckle Also, regarding the LS7 in a 'vert, those that get...

Did both plugs look like this? Here's a pic of both cleaned and still loaded plugs. This engine has 51,XXX miles on it, and the oil change intervals are 20% oil life, give or take.

doubt this is it! GM is secretly praising Jalopnick for making the C7 have some media buzz. Lately, there's been nothing to talk about. Whether this is it or not, we're speculating. I'd like to see the interior. (Oh yeah, I sure hope it doesn't look like a friggen C4!) It looks like the...

OP~ There have been numerous threads about the "C6 gas cap." Here's what I can tell you. Some early gas caps caused a code to be thrown. Causing a "check engine light" (CEL) to be illuminated. Once it has been replaced, the light may (or may not) go out, but the code is still stored. You'll...

The only thing I use NAV for is @ 1/32nd mile scale. I use it to tell me what an unknown road is going to do if I'm "railing" it. Saved my bacon a coupla times (and almost cost me my bacon other times.) Speaking of which, why is bacon $8 a pound?:eyerole

MODS~ Please move to C5 section so OP can get more accurate help.

Lens crazing is caused by heat cycling. So, here's what we've got~ 1. DRL's are on all the time and they get warm. (Unless you turn them off, like I do.) They've been known to get warm enough to melt/distort the plastic ABS connector, causing failure. 2. I'm not familiar with the "Typhoon"...

Chances are, your lean codes were tripped because of the fuel's oxygenate. That's what happened to me.

vintagez~ What if you were to just remove the neg. cable from the battery terminal for the winter? This way, you could leave the battery in the car. (Unless you're worried about battery damage from freezing.) Might wanna get the tires off the ground too, if it's gonna be THAT cold! (Better...

ALL LS7's are built @ Wixom PBC. It doesn't matter if the engines go to Bowling Green for installation into new Corvettes or they go to "stock" as crate engines. The only difference I can glean from the "crate" to the "BG installed" engines is that the crate engines seem to make slightly more...

Interesting. I have just the opposite problem. When I floor the car and get going really fast (150+,) I hear "WEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!" I can't figure out where it's coming from either!:rotfl

Depends on what you want to do with the car. If you want to get max mileage out of a set of tires (and save a grand,) then you'll want Firestone Wide Oval runflats. (Yes, you can get a set for $1000 out the door, WITH road hazard.) Now, if you track your car, then you may want something...

Who was the engine built by? Look for a name label on the top (passengerside.)

I found it fascinating. Watching the car's crumple zones work (even at this tremendous energy level) is always something we can learn from. Sure they're designed to work at much less energy, but they worked somewhat, even @ 120. A speed they were clearly not designed to handle. Are/were they...

Your lenses are suffering from "crazing." This happens when they're heated up or from flexion. The only way to heat them up (internally) is to install higher wattage bulbs inside them. Since your are HID (and are supposed to be "cool" then that's not it. However, you DO have incandescent bulbs...

Wow! A new ZR1! I bet it's for sale by the end of the month....

In SoCal, it's "hy-rrrrolllica" and you gotta roll the "r's!":chuckle

Fixed it for ya. No Corvettes have factory remote control exhaust systems. Thee are some aftermarket makers that have remotes though.

Sorry, just trying to be "cute" with slang. Yes, "cut-outs" can be installed on a C6 for about $1000 from any competant exhaust/muffler shop. Your car will "pop" on decel, unless you get it tuned after the install.

Tuna, glad to hear you are back up and running! If memory serves, your warranty work is covered by a 12 month add'l warranty, since it was performed by an authorized GM repair facility. Also, it's my dealership's policy to "NOT WASH" any Corvette after work is done, (they make a special point...
