    LS3 Intake Tube Expansions

    The large black plastic tube that connects the air filter to the intake plenum on my 2010 GS has an additional chamber located on the side of it. This is the air intake tube that feeds the engine. This additional chamber is an expansion of this tube and I see them on my Tahoe's both 2011 and...

    LT4 Sold my 96 CE LT4

    After 7 years of ownership and not really doing it justice - as in ignoring it as I had other distractions - it has a new owner. Someone that will appreciate it and use it. It was the best bang for the buck but I needed the garage space so it is gone. I bought it as a driver with 20K on the...

    Grand Sport Wheel Alignment - Camber

    I see this subject addressed in various other postings but thought I'd ask my question out right to the group. Excessive tire ware has been reported by many and is said to be caused by (amount other things) negative camber settings. Negative camber, where the wheel tilts inward at the top, can...

    Grand Sport LS3 Crankshafts

    I just finished reading the December 2012 Vette magazine - part 2 article on Power Rotation (pages 70). This was an overview of GM's Defiance, OH casting operation where crankshafts are manufactured. Pretty impressive when a factory makes 1,000 crankshafts per hour! All of these crankshafts...

    96 CE Coupe LT4

    Immaculate condition, gray interior, 27K miles, always garaged with cover over it and responsibly driven. Very original - 200 miles on new tires, an after market air filter - K&N I believe and an intrusion system. Both tops, both red service manuals, both FOB's, window sticker and operators...

    LT4 New Garage

    New Garage It’s been almost a year now since I started this ‘project’. We are empty nesters but when the grandkids came over the kitchen was too small for everyone. The wife will not move to a different house with more room and so a project to expand the kitchen and dining room began to come...

    Grand Sport 2011 Carbon Z06 vs 2010 GS vs 2002 Z06

    Watch here: http://vettetube.com/view_video.php?...1afaf7859c5076 This was up on the Z06 forum and it is a great tribute to the GS. However the 0 to 60 times seems slow after reading other test reports on the GS.

    LT4 New LS3 but still like LT4's

    In mid June I took delivery of a 2010 GS with the only engine offered, the LS3. After 1000 miles on the C6 I've decided to keep my CE LT4, I'm keeping the GS too. I had the LT4 on the market but prices are soft these days and I feel the LT4 will command more in terms of resale value some day...

    Hud

    I'm new to the HUD system. My new 2010 GS has it and I notice that it is somewhat slanted with the left hand side higher than the right side. The angle is about 5 degrees to the horizon and even more when compared to the slopping hood. There is no adjustment in this axis that I see, the...

    XM Radio

    Just receive my 2010 GS and the window sticker as well as the advertisement brochure states a one year subscription to XM comes with the car. During the acceptance discussion with the dealer he presented me with a 90 day subscription. I questioned him and he made a couple of calls to confirm it...

    LT4 Keeping My LT4

    Yesterday I ordered a 2010 Grand Sport after much deliberation with my self. Justifying a new Corvette in these economics times... some would question my judgment - but when it comes to Corvettes I can justify just about anything. The wife is another story. I did not tell her about my madness...

    Ordering a New GS

    Talking to a dealer today about ordering a 2010 GS. He is quoting me 20 weeks lead time after I place the order! Today is March 27th and that means delivery would be August 13th. Help me understand this; doesn't Bowling Green shut down about June to retool for the new models? Is this guy blowing...

    Grand Sport Corvette's Transmission Development

    I've been lurking on this site for a while and I'm not seeing any new postings so I thought I'd weigh in on a couple of things. I'm new to C6's and really like the GS. I have a couple of C4's that I will need to sell before I can step up to a 2010 GS. If I can put the deal together I will have...

    Mufflers

    I recently bought a 96 LT4 - CE with 20K on the clock and mostly stock. A previous owned had removed the mufflers and installed straight pipes out to the original tips. I previously owned a 96 LT4 and currently own a 94 ZR1 and both have stock exhaust systems on them and are enjoyable road cars...

    LT4 LT4 vs LT5

    True confessions... Had a Red, austere, 96 with 40K miles, the LT4 and not many options. A great ride... I had it for 4 years and along came a pretty face, a 94 ZR1 with all options and 21K miles. I went for it, sold the LT4 and I must say, I've been disapointed. The ZR1/LT5 is truly an...

    LT4 LT4 to ZR1, LT4 or ZR1?

    I've had a 96/LT4 with 41K miles on it for 5 years and a 94/LT5/ZR1 with 22K miles now for 5 weeks. The LT4 is a wonderful machine. Lots of great low-end torque. For street driving I sometime can't tell if I'm in 2nd or 4th as it pulls so hard in either gear. My, new to me, LT5 is a pig in the...

    LT4 LT5 vs LT4, it Hesitates and Coughs

    I just bought a 94-ZR1-LT5 with 22K miles. It's a great car, but I don't think it runs right. That is, I'm disapointed in the performance of this engine. I also have a 96-LT4 and that is the basis for my questions. The ZR1 is a beautiful car but I have no experience with this engine. I've owned...
