    Drips from sideview mirrors....

    There's a small gap between the mirror and the housing, poke a piece of t-shirt material in there to wick any water after your wash.

    86 Class, 550 CCA Battery for a 2004

    I just replaced by OEM battery in my 2006 Z with a battery from Costco. Their batteries are made by Exide, so they're pretty good. Unfortunately, since my battery goes into a small cubby in the rear, I can only use a small 590 CCA battery, otherwise, I would have put their 1000 CCA batteries in...

    Grand Sport Drove the gs vert

    I test drove a new GS vert last Sunday. I currently have a 2006 Z06 (for 4 years.) I wanted to see the differences. Here's what I discoverd~ The car I drove had the MXO tranmission. I liked it! (around town.) The GS has slightly more body roll than the Z. The engine is nice and...

    Is the Chevrolet Camaro cannibalizing sales of the Corvette?

    The largest difference between the Corvette and Camaro is the number of seats they have. This alone puts them into 2 different classes. They both go like Hell. They both perform very well. Here's something you may not know~ The "problematic" LS7 is scheduled to go into the upcoming Z28. I...

    Grand Sport Ordering a New Grand Sport

    Al~ Regarding the differences between the C4s you have and your upcoming C6, here it is in one word: REFINEMENT. You will soon discover just how "unrefined" the C4 is when compared to the C6. Don't bother comparing the LS2 vs. LS3 as they have completely different head flow...

    2011 Corvette Z06 Carbon Brings $297,000 at Barrett-Jackson

    It looks like there's a "bluish" hue to it. 297K for a carbon is silly though. I wish CC brakes were an option in 2006...;shrug

    Pulled the Trigger on an '08 Z06 Last Night

    Ok, ok, its' a very large small block, but it's still a small block. BTW, there's nothing wrong with it being a small block. I like mine...:thumb

    Grand Sport ground clearance

    If Corvettes are lowered too much, the wheels look "too high" in their wells. I guess it's subjective but odd looking to me. When the wheel is centered in it's well, then it looks right (to me.):thumb

    Window rattles

    It's not unusual for rubber stripping to loose some of it's lubrication. Silicone spray does work perfectly, but only lasts about a year or so, then you have to respray. Be sure not to get any overspray on the inside windshield as it's a real bear to remove! Not a bad idea to spray all the...

    Question: 2006-2008 Z06 base model differences.

    Z06's don't have a carbon fiber roof. However, there were some roof seperation issues with the 2006MY. Changes to the 2007 to 2008MY~ 1. Moved from the T-56 transmission to the T-6060. Some say, this was a bad move. 2. Steering rack has been improved for "feel." If "mileage vs. wear" is an...

    How Will Corvette Attract Younger Buyers To Continue Decades Long Customer Base?

    Why would younger folks care about "trunk space?" Besides, have you looked @ a C6 trunk area? It's about the size of a pickup truck...:W

    How Will Corvette Attract Younger Buyers To Continue Decades Long Customer Base?

    Yeah, if you define "relatively well" as a 50 year low. I didn't know this thread was to differentiate between new vs. used. You may have redeemed yourself here. All true.

    Question: 2006-2008 Z06 base model differences.

    If you are interested in a Z06, then why would you care what the difference is between base model years? Let's see~ 1. 2005 had a 4 speed automatic 1a. 2006 to present has a 6 speed automatic (paddle shift) 2. <2007 get a 3YR/36,000 powertrain warranty. 2a. >2006 gets a 5YR/100,000...

    Corvette customizing urge burns unabated...

    My Yellowrocket C6 Z06 !

    Very nice. What's the eyelet thingy hanging off the nose? It looks too small/light duty to be a tow device. Hood release?
