What do you all prefer on a black ZR1? Chrome wheels vs Silver. For some reason, I've never been a chrome wheel fan, but they look pretty darn cool on the ZR1. What do you think?

End of production rumor A local dealer claims that the ZR1 may be at the end of production, with approximately 80 cars left to come off the line. Has anybody anywhere heard anything to substantiate this? -GH

It's been a while since my last post... Has anyone heard of any plans to make a Z06 or ZR1 convertible toward the end of the C6 cycle? Putting a LS7 or LS9 in a standard convertible? Thanks, Greg

Is it a sin to drive one of these things as a daily driver? I'm sure that technically they're a fine car for such use, but what do you all think about this practice? Should these historic cars be driven in a more limited fashion?

I'll be looking for a '94-95 ZR-1 come summer of '06, and am just now getting more serious about researching the car. One of the things that I have not been able to come across is this: Should I be looking for one with the fewest miles possible (like 1-2k) or one with a few more miles on it? If...

On last week's Car and Driver Television, they showed spy shots of what they claimed was a Z06 Blue Devil on the track. They stated that it was a car with the LS7 PLUS a supercharger with >600 hp. Has anyone else seen this or heard anything else on such a development? Sorry if this is a...

First off, I love the C6. It's going to be a great, great car. I'm not sure, however, if I like the idea of them calling the LS2 a "Generation IV." Unless I'm mistaken, this is the exact same engine block as the LS1/6, but it has been bored out to 6.0 liters. The stroke is the same. I've...

Is there anything I can do to tighten up the roof on my car? More and more, especially over my crappy midwestern streets, the roof is rattling. Can I tighten or adjust it somehow? Would new weather stripping help? Is it something that I'm going to have to live with in a seven-year-old vette...

I got this from the media.gm.com website. "New engines, new technologies GM Powertrain is using SEMA to show off new engines and variants, including two engines with Displacement on Demand (DOD) cylinder-deactivation technology for improved fuel economy. By 2008, GM will have two million...

From the November issue "Beware, Dodge Viper and Ford GT. The 2006 C6 Corvette Z06's 6.3-liter Generation IV small-block push-rod V-8 features 24 valves and makes 500 horses at 7000 RPM. The Gen IV is the featured engine using a new GM powertrain technology: a three-valve/cylinder pushrod...

The Motor Trend Buyer's Guide has a small blurb on the C6. It states that the estimated weight will be 3150 lbs, the engine will be a 5.7 liter 425 hp (est), and that it'll have front and side airbags. The engine will have VVT, and a rear-mounted manual 6 speed or automatic 6-speed (the Dave...

In the blurb under the Corvette part of this page labeled "news" there is some info on the C6 as well as speculation that there may be a $100,000 exotic-type Vette. I found it interesting that they think that if it were made it would likely be called a Grand Sport...

I'm not sure where these folks are getting their info, but this may be worth reading: http://www.autoworldweekly.com/stories/review.cfm?instanceid=58714 --Greg

The Dunne spy shots are all that Motor Trend was able to come up with for the issue of M/T that came out today. There is a 1.5 page blurb on it [the C6] there, and the only thing that I get out of it that is new is that the engine will be 400 hp, and that's not groundbreaking. Motor Trend...

What is the story with the pic of the orange car on Rick Daniel's C6 page?: http://hostingprod.com/@c6vettesales.com/C6SPYPICS.html Greg :confused

On the front page of http://www.gminsidenews.com there is a picture of a clay model with some folks looking over it. DO NOT GET TOO EXCITED!!! My question is about the red car in the background with the round tail lights. Is it a small glimpse? I know the pic isn't great on the front page...

There is a rumor going around that Porsche Engineering Services in Germany is helping to design an AWD system for the C6. Is there any support for this? I'm not sure I can even validate the existence of "Porsche Engineering Services" as a stand-alone company. Just curious.

This article is kinda interesting. Sorry if this is a repost. http://www.gm-cars.com/ART_z16preview.shtml Greg

1: GM is putting $300,000,000 (that's alot of zeros) into the Willow Run plant to build 6 speed automatic transmissions for "future RWD performance vehicles." Now, I am a manual tranny kinda guy, but the fact is that the majority of Corvettes are sold with autos, and this would probably be a...
