Good-bye Goodyear Today -- for the 6th time in 9 years -- my magnetic Goodyear EMTs have gone flat or near-flat after driving only city and suburban Chicago streets. I have never ordered -- but have certainly paid for -- the GY magnetic :W tire option on both my C5 & C6. I replaced my C5's...

Experience is a great teacher. After owning various Corvettes over 40+ years, I realize that rust on our C6s is the last thing to be concerned about. Today's materials including alloys, sealants, and manufacturing methods as well as every other aspect of these cars makes them immune to most...

Living in Chicago and driving all year around, it would help me to know what to expect of the tires that come standard with Z51. I drive the city streets in Chicago winters instead of tracking my C6. Can anyone compare the daily driving on city streets in dry weather, wet weather, any...

From my experience and that of many others, you will not feel any HP gain from a change to an after-market exhaust. The biggest gain -- which will vary from about 12 to about 20+ HP may be attained by going to long-tube headers along with appropriately matched catalytic converters and mufflers...
