    2000 Coupe Curb Weight

    Disabling the automatic locking feature?

    I guess I'm at the point where I'm getting tired of reaching for the door unlock switch everytime I stop the car and let it run (as you just backed out of your garage and you need to grab a shop towel). Is there a function in the DIC to disable it. The doors automatically lock every time I put...

    Rear Console power outlet

    Can anyone help me out? When we purchased our 2000, the previous owner apparently removed the rear console 12v power outlet, to be able to route a cable for the aftermarket XM radio he installed. Since I no longer have the XM radio (it died), I decided to reinstall a new one. By looking at...

    What aftermarket Sirius radio do you have?

    Having recently purchased and yet to get installed, CORSA Touring, I'm moving on to my next project....as winter will soon be over (lol). Presently I have an XM unit in the car, but it fades out at times and I'd rather just add on an extra radio to my Sirius account...it's cheaper. So, that...

    CORSA Touring...pros or cons?

    Hey Gang, Since winter is taking it's ugly bite into cruising, and there's down time for the Vette, I just bought a set of used CORSA Tourings (14103), 1 and 1/2 years old, for $200. For those of you that already have these on your cars, could you share your feelings on them with me, i.e...

    Question: Increasing horsepower

    I'm guessing this topic has been addressed numerous times, but since I was unable to find any satisfactory answers while searching, I'll pose it in the hopes that it will benefit some of us. Taking my stock C5 (a Y2K car), what changes, in order of priority, will provide the most hp increase...

    Question: Billy Boat PRT

    My brother-in-law recently purchased a '99 and the previous owner installed a Billy Boat PRT on it about 1500 miles ago. His wife, my sister-in-law, does not care for the loud exhaust. So he's selling it. He offered to sell it to me for $500. Should I "Deal", or "No Deal"? Help me decide...

    Help! ENGINE DIES

    Hi to all! I'm stumped with this and I'm hopeful someone can help. About a month ago I rewired the connections on an aftermarket XM radio a previous owner had installed. Of the two hot leads, one always stayed hot, the other to the accessory/ ignition switch. I wired both hot. I can...

    Help! Tire pressure

    Having recently traded our '87 in on a Y2K, part of the deal was that the Dealer replace all four tires with new ones. This morning they installed 4 new Goodyear Eagle F1 GS EMT's. My sensors show they put in 30 lbs of air pressure while cold. To get the maximum life from these tires, I'd...

    RPO's and costs

    Sorry if this may be redundant, but can anyone supply a link to the 2000 base prices and option (RPO's) prices. I didn't get a change to order my window sticker / build sheet yet, but was hopeful someone might have what I need. Thanks in advance!

    High or low tone horn?

    Can anyone tell me what side the high and low tone horns are mounted on? Since one of mine went out, there's nothing to compare the remaining tone to, so I don't know if what tone I do hear is high or low. :rotfl ;help

    '87 cassette radio problem

    I understand this to be a common problem with the cassette portion of the radio. It refuses to play the cassette. After inserting a known good cassette, it almost immediately clicks and tries to reverse. The cassette will never play, just keeps jumping back and forth. Does anyone know what...

    Transmission upshift problem

    Hi Everyone, I've owned my '87 Coupe (automatic) for 2 years and since getting it, it shifts out of 1st into 2nd at a very low speed. When I pull out from a dead stop, unless I hit the pedal hard, it appears I might go only a few feet (20") and it immediately upshifts into 2nd...
