I believe the tax package is an attempt to get consumers back to buying new cars. This would “stimulate”, I’m really getting to despise that word, new car sales which would reduce inventory and get Detroit back to working. They don't care about previously owned vehicle sales because someone...

Here's what the manual says. Competitive Driving The driver can select an optional handling mode by depressing the ACTIVE HANDLING button on the console for more than five seconds, while the vehicle is stopped with the ignition on. Competitive Driving mode allows the driver to have full...

On what page and paragraph in the 1999 manual are you seeing this statement? Denny

So when are we doing cruise fest in the SW? :rotfl Considering many folks misconception about the SW it is difficult to get anyone to come out this way. They think it’s nothing but flat, hot desert environments without indoor utilities. You’ve been here and you know differently but it’s...

Thanks guys for the input. I checked out the Mongoose web site and I now know what I am going to ask Santa for this year. I'll have to be very, very, good!!! Time to ask the boss for a raise and get busy selling off everything else I own on eBay to get one of those puppies but it might be...

Well, I have taken the C4 up 89A several times however the C5 has not yet made that trip. Obviously you are somewhat familiar with that road. Did you drive it all the way from Wickenburg up to Flagstaff or???? If you like 89A have you done the Devils Highway yet?? Formerly known as Route...

Thanks for the forward though it would not let me see much of the book. It is on my list to purchase and read. Just finished reading the book on Zora for the second time. I just missed interfacing with him at the proving grounds out here in the late 1980's. I'm originally from Chicago so I...

Considering what some people were willing, and did pay for clone Hemi Cuda's a year or so ago, I can only imagine what a clone SS would bring. I live several miles from Westworld where the Barratt Jackson Auction is held every year however I chose to only attend the free car show at the...

I am not at all familiar with the cars in these photo's so the questions I am asking migh be stupid to those who know about these cars. Do they have the same tube type frames as the original SS? Do they have the same type rear ends? What steering system was employed? Are the engines mounted...

Besides casting a dull layer super thin body as with the original 5 SS Vettes, I wonder what it would cost to build another car today?? I read that someone built a third 1969 ZL-1 though I don't know what that cost him. Just wondering if another SS could be built in a well equiped shop for...

Such narrowly focused articles such as this grind on me quite a bit. I’m not sure what to think about such writers other than to think they are idiots. But surely that cannot be the case. I do think their comparisons are rather absurd. Why not compare apples to apples. Find another vehicle...

I would think you should also check for one or more bad engine mounts if the engine was shaking that much. Such vibrations can sometimes be isolated by taking the car up past the shake point and putting it in neutral and take your foot off the throttle thus lowering engine rpm and unloading the...

What gets me about writers who churn out such rhetoric is that they cannot afford any of the elite cars they write about so such dissertations can be taken as their form of verbal masturbation over an object they will have little to no relationship with. I would suspect that his only...

I just noticed where you live and now I know what's causing the problem. IT's COLD OUT THERE!!!!! Everything will shake at this time of year:) My daughter spent much of her life in Lockport and now lives with her husband in Romeoville where he is a cop. He runs one of those DARE cop drag...

You said you had this problem before all the work and it remains now after all the work. That seems to be the key!!! Then it may be something that was not changed out like a wheel gone bad. Can you steal a set of wheels and tires off another Chevy. Yes it will look gross for the test but...

It was with interest that I checked out your photo's. I have the same color combination. I'm assuming your Vette was delivered with the Tan interior. I bought mine with 37K very clean miles and kept asking my lady friend how she could have let me purchase a "Purple" car. After months of my...

You may have been able to get a electronic key fob at some dealer who has old stock but when I checked last year they were not listed in the parts book as available. Denny

The electronic key fob is no longer available. I checked last October. No known aftermarket source but did see a few for sale on eBay. Denny

I see you live in Texas so I am assuming the ambient temperatures are mild. That choke will take more than a few hours to reset. How fast or slow it resets is dependant on the underhood temperature. Expect it to take more like seven or eight hours if the underhood temperatures stay warm. I...

I recently made just such a transition. See the thread on “Adoption Completed”. Anyway after two months I have some observations. Both my 1994 C4 and 1998 C5 are roadsters with automatic trans so I’m comparing apples to apples. I bought my C5 because I had the opportunity to get it for way...
