Thanks for all the great reviews! Patrick - Thanks for moving it... TWOBUELLS - It is a standing invitation for any CAC member who is near enough to make it to my house to have lift time. C'mon over! :upthumbs Tammy - Yup - I would only have to add how to push the pistons back in to...

Edit - oops - I guess Z06 folks won't be painting the calipers.....unless you go to black....Perhaps Patrick could move this to C5 gen for me....:D (thanks Patrick!) Hi Folks - I have done a couple of these over the past few weeks, so I thought I would at least take some pictures for my C5...

Hi Greg C - Turn up the volume, and then press your finger on the "bose" logo on the speaker grille. Chances are the little metal logo is what is buzzing..... I fixed mine by removing the door panel to get at the interior of the speaker grilles, and then filled the hollow backside of...

Hi xtremejimmy - I suspect that you might be able to get more out of your mods if you have a dyno tune by an experienced tuner using ls1 edit. I have no direct experience with a predator, but I do have direct experience with an experienced tuner using ls1 edit - and I was VERY happy with...

Hi Gorgon - I am thinking we should start seeing them on the street. I just received my road and track. It has a four page article on the C6 Z06. In keeping with the the tradition of making us consumers decipher the real capabilities of a new vehicle, R&T lists the performance numbers of...

Hi Jays Z06 - Nice choice in a car, I do say! :upthumbs It'll be interesting to see how long you can go without succumbing to mod-fever....:D Best Regards - mqqn

Hi Bounty Hunter - I saw that as a sticky on another forum. Very nice write up. I would add that I like to put some distance between my subject and my camera, and then use zoom-compression to make the picture more interesting - it's like "concentrated" imaging..... for instance: best...

Hi Drakester - Yup - that's good advice - I just got the third or fourth recall notice for my Z06 - but since I have a custom tune, I am not going to let them do the work. best regards - mqqn

Hi Patrick - Anytime! I love to cruise in your neck of the woods (and mountains...). Actually, the cost of fuel has given me all the impetus I need to ride the 45-mpg moto-machine..... best regards- mqqn

Hi Sharondippity - It sounds like you would feel more comfortable with run-flats. With that in mind, I would be interested in finding out what sizes the new Goodyear F1 Supercar Runflat (stock tire on the new Z06) will be available. I am thinking that if they offer the right sizes for...

Hi MM-C5 - One way to guage the wear of the pads is to watch the fluid level in the reservior. As pads wear, more fluid is needed to push the pistons of the calipers outward. The fluid level will drop as the pads wear. I have almost 38k miles on my Z06, and the pads are still within the...

Hi COR4VETTE - It can be very easy - if the parts are not corroded, and I doubt your 2004 is very corroded..... Jack the car up ans support it (using a lift or jack and jackstands) Remove the rear wheel / tires Remove the parking brake cable from the parking brake actuator lever on each...

Hi folks - Wow - I guess that since I filled up this morning at $2.79 gal, I am a speculator now....and my lumina is worth a lot more now.:) best regards - mqqn

Hi Donna - There are many who have experienced seepage around the output shaft seals on the diff - not a dripping leak but seepage. I notice that on mine the vent on the top of the diff seeps and leaves residue. I have not heard of anyone with an engine leak though. Jacking pucks are a...

Hi Joe - I voted Z06. After driving the coupe with the targa, I like it, and it's nice, but I like the fixed roof , and of course the performance , much better. But that's just me.... :D best regards - mqqn

Hi Dom - Piece of cake. The hardest part is getting the emergency brake adjusted. I just bought the sportbrakes.com drilled/slotted rotors for the coupe. They are zinc coated and look very nice. I paid $261 delivered. got em on Ebay. We'll see how it works out. The quality looks very...

Hi Dom - I can appreciate that your roads might be rough.....but here in the great cornfield, where temps vary from below zero in the winter to above 100 in the summer, and salt is applied in quantities that rival the amount of snowfall we get, I feel I can take the honors of having the...

Hi Dom - Congrats on the new C5! I like the mod list you have - I prefer the Z06 catback - light weight and great sound IMO, and you should be able to get one for $450 or so. If $'s are too tight, you could have the stock mufflers cut off and just have straight pipes welded on, with some...

Hi silver97 - I did CCW 19's all around on My z06, and put the Z06 factory rims on our 99 coupe. Most (if not all) aftermarket rims will accept the tire pressure sensors as they do not interfere with the bead etc. All I can say is buy good rims an avoid being disappointed - cheap is not...

Hi jnj - Well, I guess I'll give you my 2 cents then.... I think GPS are not all that for a car. I have detailed maps that showe the areas I am travelling in, and that is just fine even without considering the cost of buying a GPS. In addition, when I have been with folks who had a GPS on...
