    Waiting over 3 mo. for Z06 windshield molding

    I've been looking at purchasing a console cover for months and no dealer stock anywhere, backorder and no estimate on when parts will come back in stock. It's making me think I need to get out of this car while I can.

    Enjoy it and don't feel guilty. This was taken a couple days ago.

    C5 vs. C6 Aerodynamics

    Those are mutually exclusive. You can't have more down force with less drag, which is likely why the C6 has a higher Cd since it would need higher down force for the higher top speed. You wouldn't run top speed with those crappy C5 headlights even if the C6 wasn't there. You can outrun the...

    Run Flats - Are you still using them?

    There's the car's limit and then there's the driver's limit... ;) Most people on this forum don't approach the car's handling limitations. Leon

    Run Flats - Are you still using them?

    Non-runflat Goodyear GS-D3's on my C5. A little clarification for those that think the Goodyear Run Flat is the ultimate tire for the C5. This is the "best" run-flat that the engineers were able to put on the car. There was a requirement for four run-flat tires on the car so that they could...

    Wheel Upgrade Question

    Post pics when(if) you get them because they look like they will really stand out on the car.

    Service Department RANT!

    Same as killian, I am fortunate that I live in an area that has a dealership (Bryner Chevrolet) that provides great service to the Corvette community and is also a sponsor of the local Corvette Club (CCDV). Bryner Chevrolet provides top notch service and will get your car taken car of in a...

    Driving That C5 In The Snow?

    I live in the Queen Village section of Philadelphia and work in Horsham. The photo was taken in Horsham. I don't think any real flakes fell in Philly itself. And I'll drive the car as much as I can. It's not a garage queen by any means and has over 141k miles on it. I'm not worried about...

    Driving That C5 In The Snow?

    Well, I intended to post this picture on October 29th when it happened but I got distracted. This was the scene when I left for lunch. In October! I drove my car all last winter and had no real issues. Last November I had just put on a new set of Eagle GS-D3's and they worked very well in...

    Goodyear! WTH!!

    I agree that the D3 is a great tire. I couldn't believe the performance increase when I had my C4 and couldn't wait to get them on the C5. No stock in C5 front sizes and this was two years ago. I was thinking that my next set may come from Michelin but I'll have to wait and see. I had a...

    Goodyear! WTH!!

    I have a set of GS-D3's on my C5 and I've had them ~8 months. I picked up a screw in my left rear which is, of course, in the sidewall and can't be repaired. So I'm off to order a new tire... Here's the problem, there's no stock anywhere. Tirerack and local Goodyear dealers our out as are...

    Alternative to Tirerack?

    I picked up a screw in my left rear tire and of course it's in the side wall. :mad The Eagle GS-D3 that's on there are only 9 months old and have plenty of tread. Anyway, I need to order a tire and Tirerack is out of stock. Anyone have another tire site that I may be able to find tires at? Leon

    2008 Chevrolet Corvette Z06: "By the numbers" this car wins. Beyond the numbers...

    I have griped about the seats for some time. It's amazing that a vehicle capable of this level of performance doesn't provide better lateral support in their "sport" seat, or the base seat for that matter. Leon

    Question: Several questions

    NPP Exhaust - How to Polish?

    https://store.mothers.com/product_info.php?products_id=2&cPath=7 Same on my B&B exhaust on my C5 and it leaves a great look. I believe the NPP exhaust is stainless but I'm not sure about any coatings. Leon

    Help! Its not an NPP exhaust so what is it?

    Hey dpigguy, love the avatar!

    Play in Drivetrain

    When applying and lifting the gas I get what appears to be excessive play in the drive train. Normal? Or am I looking at major/minor problems? My first thought is u-joints but I just want to make sure that there isn't something bigger here. When I lift off the gas and let the engine slow the...
