    Low RPM Miss

    I will try to clean the MAF but the filter I just put on was a brand new filter. I had cleaned and oiled the old one before but I honestly can't remember if the problem was there before I cleaned the filter last time. The problem was there before and after the plug change and, in fact, there...

    Crunched Vette

    There looks to be more to it than that. All the scrapes down the entire side of the car as well as the red paint on the rear quarter. Perhaps someone sideswiped the drivers side of the car. I'm certainly interested in what happened. Leon

    All-Wheel Drive?

    Today's AWD drive systems typically work as a RWD system until the rear wheels slip and then transfer power to the front wheels to some maximum percentage of total power. Since Corvette is loaded with some good technology I would suspect that if implemented the AWD system GM developed for the...

    Low RPM Miss

    This has been present for some time but just not this bad. The car has 122k miles on it and the plugs were done some time ago. The plug change was completed around 100k miles and did not affect this at all. Leon

    Low RPM Miss

    My engine has developed an odd miss at idle. This has been going on for some time and I thought an application of Sea Foam had help out but it's not totally gone. At idle the car has a random miss. When launching the car the engine stumbles when the RPM drops under 1000RPM. It almost seems...

    Front-end Design

    We finally got rid of the pop-ups, don't bring them back. Overall I really like the C6 but I would like to see a more aggressive look to the front end as others have stated. And a better implementation to the front license plate bracket. But I would rather see the individual state...

    C7s on the Line

    4 years before release? Seems a little early to me... Leon

    All-Wheel Drive?

    While that's true, I don't think that price is ONLY because the Porsche is AWD. Remember, the Porsche Turbo has ALWAYS been much more expensive than the Corvette. I think Corvette will need to implement an AWD system to improve the performance off the line. Let's look at weight on the 911...

    Engines

    The LS7 is a 427ci small block. I'm sure someone will show up with the answer soon enough, but I'm doubtful that the blocks are the same. Leon

    Are there any other corvette dealers as large as Kerbeck?

    I've been looking at their showroom as well and would love to make a trip down there to check them out. They look to have some good deals on their '07s but I'd really love to wait for the '08. :) Not sure that there will be these kind of deals on the '08's with the improvements that are coming...

    2004 needs new clutch

    Mike, I just had the clutch in my C5 replaced (LS7 clutch) so let me tell you that the dealer's quote for hours is more accurate than Aamco's. There is no way I'd let Aamco work on my Vette. They don't seem to realize the details in changing the clutch in the C5, the fact that the entire rear...

    No Start

    My money is on the battery. I had a similar experience but all the electronics did some crazy stuff. I could not jump the car and it would not turn over at all. There seems to be no warning when the battery goes in the Vette. My neighbor at the time had the same model car and I borrowed the...

    Traction Control? Never Noticed

    The later model C5's had a vehicle control system that consisted of traction control along with a stability control system. Traction control is just that, at the detection of wheel spin it reduces engine power to reduce the wheel spin. The stability system has a yaw sensor and steering sensor...

    Route 66 Road Trip in a RF Z06

    Thanks for the review and feedback. I'd love to get into a C6 but it's just not the right time for me. And Happy Birthday Rich! :) Leon

    Route 66 Road Trip in a RF Z06

    What a beautiful car Rich. I'm sure it's a blast to drive. I'd really be interested in your driving impressions going from the base C6 to the Z06. Leon

    2008 Corvette: Iconic Sports Car Recieves Larger, More Powerful LS3 6.2L V-8

    Looks like the new engine adds some more weight to the car. +38 for the coupe and +47 for the convertible. I wonder how it's split between engine and exhaust and interior. And the pictured wheels will have to grow on me or will have to see them in person to give my final opinion. Other than...
