    Question: Inferno vs Atomic

    You are doing better than me. I did not even see a listing for any color orange in the 2011 charts when I was down at the dealer yesterday. Some changes I do not really care for.

    CORSA Touring...pros or cons?

    I too labored over the touring or sport version. I went to the site and listened and the choice was made for me. I opted out for the sport package and I love it. Not too loud at idle, a very nice rumble, and jump on it and it sounds great. I have not encountered any drone as well. In fact I...

    Question: What Mods Are You Doing to Your C6?

    I just saw them installed on another post and you are right they do look good.I want to get some. You mentioned they are a GM part? Did they require any drilling? They look to be a molded type?

    Kleen Wheels for C06

    That does it. They are coming off as soon as I can get some replacement pads. I wonder if ceramic pads come stock on any model C6 vettes?

    Kleen Wheels for C06

    When you say GM ceramics, you mean original equipment I take it. Don't have any part #'s do ya? I can look in Eckler's or Mid-America catalogs. Thanks. One other question--have you had any fade problems under heay or constant braking (ie: heavy traffic)?

    Kleen Wheels for C06

    Starting to look like that is the opinion. By the way from your avatar, you are really smoking the rears up. Looks great! When I dump it --it just goes. Do I need to take the traction control off to do this more easily?

    Kleen Wheels for C06

    Your point is well taken. I too like to look at the rotors. The dust is driving me nuts. I might have to look at some other type of pad that is compatible for Z-51 brakes. Maybe Mr. Hiberson has some insights::)

    Kleen Wheels for C06

    They are slotted for cooling. I have used them for years on my other vehicles with no problems. I like the looks of the rotor too, but the brake dust is gross , even after a short drive. I still have factory pads and I hate to replace them this early. (11000miles) Wouldn't you feel a brake...

    1971 C3 Start/no start-crank condition

    You are talking about chassis ground to engine and other primary grounds from the battery. Still learning and I thought I was thorough. Appreciate the inputs.

    1971 C3 Start/no start-crank condition

    Thanks for clarifying. It totally slipped my mind. I have always had sticks and this one did have an automatic . The 71 I was helping on in this case. Was so caught up in the electrical, never would have thought of it.

    New 2007 Color

    Love Atomic Orange. Just wish the interior color choice had the cognac leather as in 88.

    1971 C3 Start/no start-crank condition

    I get it now. Shift cable in a corvette just threw me. Linkage I get it. And I agree with you fully on the rest of preventive maintenance. Some things like the speedometer cable or tach gear/cable ,I best think you leave alone until a symptom arises?? Just me. Thanks for the input.
