Now that the government has its hand in the auto industry it is likely that vehicles that do not fit the criteria for "energy efficiency" will be eliminated. To me, that would include the Corvette, Viper, Camaro SS, and the Challenger R/T. I do not believe that the government will be concerned...

Thank you very much. :beer That photo really helped a lot. I can sleep a lot better tonight. :thumb

Ok, when I read your post I thought you said you had purchased '06 Z06 wheels and they're a much larger size than the C5 Z06 wheels. As far as tires go, if you're not going to autocross or race your Corvette I would have to guess that you won't notice much with the Falkens you already have...

I've decided to hold off getting the STS system. Positive and negative opinions have been just about 50/50. At this time I'm contemplating purchasing a mid-year. That $timulus check you mentioned would come in handy right about now. :boogie

I'm assuming you mistyped the year ('06) as the size wheels you're referring to come from an '01-'04 Z06. My personal preference is to have ALL 4 tire treads matching. If you purchase narrower width rear wheels you'll lose handling/braking gains. I would probably buy 4 new tires that are the...

I have a 2003 Z06 and I installed a Vortex cold air system awhile back. While installing, I noticed what looks like a plastic plug approx 1 1/4" in length attached to the end of a cable/wire. It's black in color and looks similiar to a microphone plug-in for stereo headsets. Since I didn't know...

I haven't replaced mine with non pop-up headlamps but from everything I've read about them they are an improvement over the OE lighting and front end drag is reduced as well. It's a matter of taste, do you like the hidden/pop-up lights or the fixed?

Thanks for your suggestion. I'm still debating on the STS set-up. Have heard other stories about high heat buildup at the rear.

I spoke with an STS rep in Utah and he told me that the units are CARB approved. I know, I wondered about that too. Wouldn't want to spend the money or time to install only to have to remove them.

Can anyone tell me what they've heard about STS turbos? I'm thinking of putting twin turbos on my Z06. From what I've read about this particular make, they replace the OE mufflers. Sound out the back is said to be just a little bit louder than stock. Price for this set-up is around $8,500...

I just installed front and rear tow hooks by Pfadt. The rear hook was an easy install. The front had to have holes drilled. Now, if a tow is needed, they won't have to hook a chain to the lower front and mess up the air dam or bumper. Same goes for the rear.

Hey Remo, Did you have a hand in Photoshopping this? The lack of wet tire tracks is missing and the stream (from the left) has to go "uphill" to get to the other side. Doesn't make sense to me but then again I'm old. ;shrug

I can see the rain but the desert, mountains and 200 mph winds? :boogie

A friend of mine had to have his '04 Corvette flatbedded today and wound up with front end damage while having his car winched up. :ugh The car, being low to the ground, has not enough clearance (and no tow hook) for it to be winched onto a flatbed without sustaining damage to the underside of...

Sorry to hear that. ;shrug You can always check eBay Motors or Craigslist. Maybe someone is selling theirs. Good luck again.:eyerole

You're welcome! Hope you find what you're looking for. :beer

gmjunkie, Whatever happened to the good old days of just removing the window crank then popping off the inside door panel with a large standard bladed screwdriver or brake adjusting tool? hahaha

I checked Kelley Blue Book for your area and assumed that the body and interior is in excellent condition. I also deleted CD/radio and premium wheels from the checklist since you may be replacing both. KBB quoted an excellent price of: $29,155, a good price of: $27,655 and a poor price of...
