Lost Opportunity Henderson proved that he is not worthy of the top position at GM. He failed to use his speech at the L.A. Auto Show to identify the dangers and destructive forces now at work in the USA. Henderson could have stood as an American who understands American exceptionalism to...

I have driven several Corvettes over decades nearly every day of the year through rain, sleet, snow, ice, and even salt. That's Chicago weather. I have this absolutely fantastic car to drive -- not to peek at in the garage and wish my life away waiting for spring. The base suspension and F55...

I do. :pat

In 2005, I put Michelin A/S ZP on my C5. The improvements included decreased noise, that hit-a-wall feel and thud when rolling across road seams was gone, and wet traction was improved over the GY OEM. For me the run-flat is a major improvement that is worth some extra noise over a tire that I...

Absolutely yes, this would drive me nuts! :thumb I had a similar problem with a B&B Route 66 system. I took it back to the original installer and of course they saw nothing wrong and gave me all the usual excuses... angles, differential, it's so hard to get just right, they're all like that...

I have not driven my C6 enough miles to be concerned with brakes, but drove my C5 42,000 city miles and had no signs of brake wear. Hope this helps.

I have driven Corvettes and GTOs for over 40 years all around the Chicago area. I have been stuck only once. That was when I stopped at a stop sign in deep, fresh snow. Yes, I always stop at stop signs. :thumb During winters I drive very cautiously: Using extra caution, accelerating slowly...

Thanks Blue. I had the C5 version of Michelin's ZP and they were good in wet conditions and took bumps very much better than the GYs.

Leaonm47, Thank you for the info. Peter

Tough Times William Durant started GM 100 years ago and went through extremely difficult times for several years. GM and the USA have been through tougher times than these. There is a new world opening up to buy and sell everything. Global trade will save GM and America. Tough times force...

Has anyone learned the latest expected arrival date for the new run-flat MICHELIN Pilot Sport PS2 ZP tire in C6 sizes? The C6 version has been delayed longer than original release estimates. Thanks.

Trust As in many areas these days, rumors, intentional distortions, and self-serving lies are easily found across the Internet... and in the MSM. We should carefully consider the source of any information before reacting reflexively and doing something that may be detrimental or stupid. After...

The fact is that gasoline prices will -- no, cannot -- are not able -- to continue to rise beyond a reasonable level... likely around $6.80 per gallon. As we recently learned empirically, people buy less gasoline as the price increases. Several weeks ago gas went to about $4.50 here and people...

What is TV? One-hundred years ago few people -- even Corvette owners -- could imagine what television is today. Have faith. No, have faith and understanding!:pat:pat Understand that smart engineers will continue to invent, design, and develop cars more powerful, more maneuverable, more...

Does anyone have a schematic diagram of the C6 hydraulic clutch mechanism? Also, do today's high performance engines in some respect require a hydraulic linkage mechanism instead of the purely mechanical linkage set ups of the old days? Thanks....:w

Have faith. No, have faith and understanding!:pat:pat:pat Understand that smart engineers will continue to invent, design, and develop cars more powerful, more maneuverable, more clean, and more fun than our C6s. Look back at what happened in the 1970s. People were certain that they had seen...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ That is a great question in need of the only acceptable answer: Yes... Let's hope so.

I would appreciate any first-hand experiences, objective observations, and subjective impressions made while driving a C6 with F55. I am currently driving a 2007 C6 base suspension and considering getting F55 on my soon-to-be-ordered 2009. Thanks.
