Good luck! I had the same thing happen when I lived in FL. They will have to replace the bumper cover, the foam absorber and likely the metal bumper that attaches to the frame. It was a 30 day process for mine but it looked good when it was all said and done. I was at the shop...

Oooo! I love it!

What do you think the difference would be going from Z51 to Z06 sway bars and Bilstein Sport shocks? I'm curious what would tighten up my Z51 FRC.

Will be doing this as well. If I keep the car... ;)

Thanks for the replies guys. The windshield was part of the HUD display in the C5 as well and the display worked just fine on the regular windshield. I'm not sure why the windshield in the C6 would be that much more important. Well, actually it's likely due to the finer resolution in the C6...

This is a popular mod on the C5 for the early cars that didn't have HUDs and were HUD enabled. But my questions is, how many would add a HUD to their C6 and has it been done? I don't recall seeing any threads on it but if I ordered a new C6 and wanted to add the HUD later and save ~$5000 by...

Drove to CT for the July 4th holiday and usually keep the DIC on average mileage. For whatever reason I switched over to the odometer during the drive and saw my that I was sitting at 123,456 miles. Thought I'd take a quick shot with the phone camera and I know it's not real steady, but I was...

Something like this? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/97-04-C5-CORVETTE-BOSE-12-DISK-CD-CHANGER-W-BRACKETS_W0QQitemZ150135331472QQcmdZViewItem I'm not sure what my changer says on it but it should all be the same model. The changer itself is actually manufactured by Pioneer and their 12 disc...

Keep driving. I'm at 123k miles. ;)

As said before, the computer takes into account RPM, vehicle speed, engine temp and applied throttle. When the light is on is the only time that the system is engaged. If you mash the pedal the computer will realize that you want increased acceleration and will turn the light out. If you...

I didn't realize the roof repair affected the Z06 as well. That sucks.

It sounds like you don't have the mod. The light will not stay on until you shift into 4th gear. The object of CAGS is to save gas and would therefore try to force you to 4th gear from 1st under light driving conditions. Once the RPM's are up above a certain point the light will go off and...

http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/specs/c5/1999/99prod.html Specs for 1999 which shows tested top speeds of 173 and 175 for FRC. http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/specs/z06/z06perform.html Specs for Z06. Notice GM top speed spec of 171 for Z06 with tested top speeds of 168 on a couple...

Those are the numbers I remember when comparing the C5 Z06 to the coupe due to the different gearing in the Z06. I don't believe that was the case with the FRC for 1999 and 2000 since the power and gearing were the same as the coupe. Leon

Wowzers!! What's all included in this package? :ugh

Don't sell the FRC short. It's plenty quick considering how light the car is. And the top speed is 175 so at 160 it should have said "Is that all you got?" ;) Leon

Octane is added to resist self detonation with the increase in pressure in high performance engines. Remember PV=nRT? For a given fuel/air mixture as you increase the pressure the temperature will increase as well. I guess the proper method of looking at it is that you increase the flash...

Wow! The C6 has more squeaks and rattles than an 80's Vette?!? I find this pretty hard to believe considering my experience with my C4. While there may be some buzzes or rattles that make you unhappy I would find it pretty incredible that they were worse than a C4. Certainly try another car...

That's why I asked how close you were. When I moved here to Philadelphia I asked the same question and was told to go to Bryners. My understanding is that they are very knowledgeable and also very active in the Corvette Community. Let us know how it goes! :) Leon

I'm not familiar with them. Are you in Sellersville? Or farther away? Leon
