    C6 convertible top prob

    I got a C6 base, last August. It has a power top that isn't going all the way up to the windshield. It goes all the way down, but returning back up, it goes to about 10 inches away from the rim, then automatically starts going back down. Is this a limiting switch or something I can adjust...

    D30 "Color Override" option

    After reviewing the 2012 Porduction #'s, I ran across "D30" Color Override" option. What IS that? All I know is 58 cars had it. None were Z06's. Are there 58 "Mary Kay" Corvettes running around?;LOL

    Synthetic or "dino" oil?

    Back in 1994, during the Charlotte 600 NASCAR race, an oil company did a test with 2 Hendrick/Joe Gibbs car engines. Both were run the full 600 miles at race speed. Both were totally torndown post race. (They always are.) One was run with a synthetic oil and the other got "dino" oil. Both oils...

    C6 enthusiast model

    OK, I was having one of those "If I were King" moments, and decided that I would create a C6 with exactly what I wanted, and deleted what I didn't want. Here's what I wanted: 1. *LS7 with parts that were not influenced by bean counters in Michigan 2. The alum frame currrently used 3. CC brakes...

    1986 AUTOMATIC TRANS ISSUE

    A friend has a very nice 1986 with 235,000 miles. It has won a few shows because it's in nice shape. The problem is the 700R4 trans. It has lost 3rd and "D." The owner would like to get a C5 so this needs to go. Should she: A. Spend $3200 to get a "new" trans? B. Sell the car, as is? C...

    LS 7 ROCKER ISSUES

    My 2006 Z06 is finally out of warranty, so I feel safe to modify some things that have proven problematic. One of those things are the rocker arms. I've heard of Harland Sharp but was thinking of trying Scorpion Racing Products rockers as they look REALLY good. I suppose I'll have to change the...

    NEW ORANGE

    Anyone seen the "new orange" for 2010? It's called "Inferno Orange." It can be seen on the 2009 Tahoe. It looks like "Hugger Orange" from 40 years ago. It is replaceing "Atomic orange." Like everything else that's new & different, there will be haters I'm sure...:eyerole

    STOCK EXHAUST WRAPPING

    Hi gang, I'm fed up with the tunnel heat on our Z06's. I already have an insulation kit installed (under the carpeting.) This is nice but I think there is more that can be done. My exhaust system is 100% factory stock and I'm thinking about getting some "exhaust wrapping tape" and going from the...

    ROOF RECALL

    I went to the local Chevy dealership this am and they have another C6Z DSOM with chromies in the service area! Those chromies sure look nice! Anyway,I was watching the "Corvette Tech" dismantle my car. It took him 5 minutes to have the roof off. My car was built Jan.10 so I didn't have the "SMC"...
