    Dirty Clutch Fluid

    OP~ I can't say what your "noise" is but chances are, it's the clutch packs in the rearend. There's a TSB for this. The clutch resevior under the hood is a different issue. As vett boy stated above, to minimize "sticking clutch pedal" syndrome, you might want to change the res fluid often. The...

    Build Your Own Engine Option Offered to Corvette Enthusiasts

    Interesting gimmick Chevrolet is using. $5800 is pretty steep for this. For the customers that "build" their engines, I wonder how the UNION is going to deal with this. Or, is that where the $5800 figure comes from? I would have liked building my LS7...providing I could use parts that are...

    Need Your Opinion

    Why would you buy a 3 year old, used Z06 for 64K when you can buy a new one for the same price? I'd buy a GS vert with paddles. Remember, I have a Z06 too!

    Next Corvette to Get All-New Small-Block: C7 will Debut with GM's latest V-8

    Actually, the development IS needed. If GM doesn't develope the engine, they will have problems like AUDI does with their DI engine. It takes time/money to work the bugs out. I guess if GM "goes out of business," then you're right, a new engine won't be needed. This engine is forced upon...

    Z06 Help!

    OP~ I thought you were having a problem with a Z because of your title. It's misleading. :mad

    corvette vs camaro z-28

    I've heard the upcoming Z-28 Camaro will get the LS7. Don't know if it'll be "tuned for torque" instead of peak power or not, but it wouldn't surprise me.

    Grand Sport WHY! The different, but the same engine?

    You bring up some valid points. Marketing maybe? All I know is if you have a fast convertible, you aren't on the track for long!

    Volt buyers to recieve free charging station with purchase

    Good thinking. All valid questions/concerns. I would add: The extension cord stretched across your yard trips a senior citizen and they hit the back of their head and die. Hmmmm...better keep that "general liability" policy for $5 million in place...

    Under hood light - car shows

    Yes, it'll "timeout" after about 15 minutes. As stated above, if you open a door or hatch, the clock starts all over again. You can unplug it for show purposes. Remember, if you have your "bonnett" open, you'll incur fender scratches/damage as people lean over to inspect your engine compartment...

    Grand Sport Dead Battery?

    Use a Buck knife! Naw, just kidding! (That was an answer I got from a suspected car thief in the "interview room, once.) To get into the locked vehicle when you have a dead battery~ 1. Utilize your key hidden in your FOB to unlock the trunk lid. (Keylock is just above the license plate.) 2...

    C6 Buying Advice

    The Z51 is a great product, as stated earlier. It does come with slightly stickier Goodyear runflat tires. They will wear quicker than the base car because the compound is softer. When the Z51 was deleted and the GranSport was created (2010) they (GM) dropped the unique brake rotor sizes and...

    Car Door Rubbing

    Yes, exercise your warranty for this. I would be interested in a thorough history of the vehicle though. "Certified" may be suspect if it was in a collision. Any problems opening/closing the door? Carfax? Any other body panel fitment issues? The vehicle is "too new" to have worn out hinges...

    "wha Wha" sound from engine at WOT?

    After playing your video 4 times, it sounds like your issue is during WFO, not after WFO. Any mods to the induction? I'd look for the carbon decals in the intake if stock. Also, any codes?
