    Ron Fellows Championship Z06 And Indy Pace Car Replica Convertible Editions Make 2007

    Not Thrilled, but nice! They could have redone the;shrug nose period. The rest is pure smoke and mirrors. And it also tells us what GM thinks of the vette! Alan:beer By the way the new Callaway is just awesome!

    Will the 01-04 Z06 be a collector piece?

    Good Point about age ! What we have now should be driven and not stored unless you want to leave it for somebody else to drive and enjoy. Alan:beer

    [News] Callaway C16: High-quality, raw beauty

    Awesome Simply Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!! Now this is what the C7 should look like with maybe a little change to the rear lights. If the C6 looked something like this l would be driving it for sure. Still not in love with the C6 skin yet. Everything else is just fine. Alan:beer

    To Buy or Not to Buy 1997vs2001

    Great choice! The difference between the C5 and the C4 is vast but l miss my 96 for some reasons but not enough to regret the move up to a C5. All the luck in the world Alan

    Z06 Ti Exhaust ?

    Looking for a little more of a throaty sound Hey Thanks, as far as the weight difference, it's meaningless to me. What l was looking for is an exhaust note a little deeper then the stock one (2002) without going to a Corsa for example. I also realize the Ti exhaust will sound different on a...

    Z06 Ti Exhaust ?

    Hi Forget that it is approx 18 lbs lighter, what is the difference in sound and does it have any other benefit's. Is it a bolt on exhaust so if l swap out my orig exhaust l can put the orig exhaust back in later on. Thanks alan

    Rumor Mill: V6 Corvette is Coming

    GM is ready for a Swan Dive They have too many bean counter's instead of car lovers on their payroll. They are like monkey see monkey do. I unloaded all of my GM stock in my pension plan years ago and if l didn't l would be working for a lot longer to make up my loses. The only way for GM to...

    Rumor Mill: V6 Corvette is Coming

    GM is in trouble and they know it. So whatever they do it's purely for survival. If they thought that they could sell it under the name of Corvette Stingray they will. Look at Mercede's and Porsche they both offer vehicles with their name on it just to sell them. And it works. The Boxster...

    Corvette to sport Chevy's gold bow-tie?

    Mental Masturbation for sure! Why doesn't chevy come up with a better place for a front license plate and do something constructive. This Bowtie things is the thought of a loser with no other idea's. Put a person who understands the car business at the helm of GM already instead of the...

    Just bought a Red 2004

    A Big Welcome from the NorthEast I am sure you will enjoy the forum but you will have to put up with a little ribbing from time to time. Red, now there is only one red and it's "Torch Red" the other reds are really burgandys. But a sweet looking ride l must say. Alan

    Car cover ?

    Hi If you don't have a deflector then protect your windshield. The cab will protect the front of your vette. Also a better idea go to your dealership and ask them if you can buy the transport wrap used when a new vette is transported from the factory. It is a lightly padded, adhesive back...

    04 Vert, Torch Red, 6,400 miles

    Boy is it strange that all of the pristine or most of them come out of OHIO. I guess the weather there has something to do with it. This was a major steal, good luck to the new owner. Alan

    Price increase on new ZO6

    Surprised to see so many for sale so soon ! Either they made a lot more then l am aware of or people realize they don't need that much hp to drive around town. With interest rates climbing and people concerned about their jobs it's going to be a tough sell if the dealers are going to add their...

    Considering a 2002 coupe....advice?

    Hi I also had the spitfire which nothing more then a go-cart, but boy could it handle turns. It felt like l was taking turns at 50mph when l was really only going 30 mph and l felt like l was sitting right off the ground. This was probably the worst reliable car l have ever owned. Alan

    Considering a 2002 coupe....advice?

    Hi Your wife may be closer to the truth then you realize. A vette in vert or coupe form is not a true sports car by no means. It has too many creature comforts for sure. The last true sports car that l had was an MGA 1600 with power nothing and no a/c. It was slow, uncomfortable and handled...

    Paint Chip Repair

    Hi If the color is a GM color or any other American car then the touch up paint should be lacquer. The orig paint is of course not lacquer. Alan

    Paint Chip Repair

    Metallic paint is a killer to work with ! But to answer your question NO. As long as you use lacquer paint the worst thing that can happen is waste your time and $. The blue on your vette and cycle seem to be metallic. But what you can do is blob on the lacquer paint and let it sit for 3/4...
