Maybe its belonging to the video game generation, but my hands don't get confused using a paddle shifter on a road course. Its a heck of alot easier than removing a hand from the steering wheel to move down and work the shift lever. I see no advantage of a stick shift system over a...

It looks good. It aint ricey cause you used less than 2 colors, haha.

What I want to see in the C6 is a paddle shifter option in a hardtop, lower weight, same stiff chasis and 50/50 ratio as the C5, powerful engine with LOADS more potential than factory. It'd be nice, if only in the vette, if they'd offer and engine that ALREADY HAS forged internals. They know...

Pretty much, because I ordered it to be that way, I measured what I had, gave em the specs, and the next week I had my pipe. It needed some fabrication (cause its shorter than the resonator) and welding, but its not a big deal. Cost me about 170 bucks

I replaced my flowmaster resonator with a dr. gas X pipe

no, I use bridgestone potenzas on all 4s

Just got back from the alignment at Cecils.....I can feel the difference in just the 10 minute ride home. The car feels more stable, holds straight over rough roads (unlike the twitchy feeling before), and turns-in better. He said when I brought it in, both fronts were actually sitting with some...

6th gear was always my hottest one. I'd downshift into 5th when the temps got to 220, and they would go back to 205-210

only time to answer one of your questions right now, about the traction control. If you hit it just right, you can leave the TC on, and have good acceleration....BUT...if the TC engages, you're hosed, cause it robs all of your gas pedal, and takes a second or two to click off. I always leave the...

200-230 sounds like what stock vettes run. My 96 ran that way till I reprogrammed the fans to come on sonner (160 primary, 193 secondary) and removed my thermostat.

Rich, Mic........Cecil's Alignment in Edgewater is going to align my vette next week to my specs. He said the factory settings sucked, and what I quoted him would be ideal.

I got those settings of this website http://64.35.86.141/newsa.htm it also lists autocross, and road race settings.

good stuff.......I did some reasearch. For spirited driving steetable settings, VetteBrakes recommends this Front: Toe 0” Camber .25 degrees negative Caster 5-7 degrees. pos. Rear: Toe 1/8 inch toe-in...

My normal driving routes from my house to all the places I go, I encounter alot of long right hand turns (off/onramps for instance) and I've noticed that the outside of my front left tire is near bald, and the inside still has medium tread. So, I want to put in a little more negative camber. I...

Alright, it sounds like something I won't have a problem living with. My exhaust is quite loud, and I'm the kinda guy who needs a daily driver with the poor manners of a race-car. As for resale, I wish I could say I'll never sell it......at the moment I don't plan to. I'll be kepping this...

Yes, those little "angel hair" wires in the middle are pretty sensitive. Whenever I did anything to my MAF, I always took the ends off of it, laid the sensitive center plastic section aside, and then went to work.

Does it make that aweful noise when you're driving? What I've been told so far is its just at idle when you're out of gear, and you just gotta sit there with your foot in the clutch if you don't wanna hear it. If you know, what causes the sound? I'm trying to think about the physics of it. Is...

The MAF on vettes doesn't really need screens. #1 The filter should be keeping dirt out #2 our intake tract is straight and doesn't need straighteners (unlike silverados, camaros, ect) I decreened mine, grinded out the fins in the middle, and ported the whole thing. Not that I really can tell a...

I just ordered a single mass aluminum flywheel and stage 2 clutch (stars brand, I think) from Doug Rippie motorsports, and will be coming this week sometime. My question is, every bit of work I get done on my car, the mechanic always complains to me afterward about the vette being "special"...

Drone.......my mustang did that alot once I had flowmasters and offroad h-pipe on. The vette doesn't do it at all. Its loud, and in 6th gear its real quiet. Even in lower gears, when you can hear the exhaust at cruise, it never slips into that resonating "drone" sound. I'm using flowmasters to...
