I'm contemplating ordering a Z06 before C7 production ends and the front engine 'Vette is gone forever. My question to you all is; is the Z07 package worth the extra $7- 11K (including the Level 2 ground effects)? I do intend on doing some local track events along with the One Lap of America...

I was just doing some amrchair racing in my head and I began to wonder which would come out on top, the 436hp LS3 C6, or the 405hp DOHC LT-5 ZR-1. On paper, it would apear that the LS3 would win. 31 more horsepower, and a couple hundered pounds lighter, it seems obvious. Has anyone raced a...

Guess what I spent the day doing? Yep, washing and waxing my car. Apparently I recently parked under a tree that was dripping sap. Now I’ve got 4 dime sized spots of sap on my car. I have not had a chance to detail her paint yet this year, so this is the perfect excuse. I figured I would write...

My '08 C6 has developed a popping issue in the brake pedal. When the car is cold and I press down on the brake pedal I feel a little pop about 1/2 through the stroke of the pedal. It does not affect the performance of the brakes though. As the car warms up, the popping becomes softer and softer...

NEW YORK — Five German cars, including two Mercedes-Benz AMG models, make up half the slate of cars vying for the 2009 World Performance Car title, it was announced on Friday. The 10 finalists for the prestigious title include the Nissan GT-R, the Audi RS6 Avant and a sole domestic model — the...

'63 Chassis No. 002 is going to be auctioned off in Arizona. The car has been restored back to its '66 racing regalia, with a 616hp 427 under the hood. The last time I heard about one of the original 5 Grand Sports being auctioned off, it went for around $2 million. It will be interesting...

The company I work for is developing a pump for Audi. It is going to go in the Diesel powered version of their Q7 SUV's. We have been working on this project for well over a year now, and it has had its ups and downs, like any project. A group of Audi engineers came for a visit last week, to...

Finally, an award or news story about something other than the '09 ZR1! The 09 Corvette coupe and convertible are once again awarded with a spot in the Car and Driver top 10 list. The Cadillac CTS and CTS-V also made the list. :thumb Jason

The eGMCarTech website just posted a story about the ZR1 beating it's own record at Nurburing, and besting the Ferrari Enzo in the process. You can find the story here. :v Jason

Are the Corvette crossed flag badges on the front and rear of the car just stuck on with 3M adhesive, or are there posts on the backside of the badges that secure them to the body pannels? Jason

How much oil should I expect my LS3 to consume between oil changes? I just changed her oil, and she was about 1/2 quart low. To be fair, there were 15 or so passes down the drag strip, so some oil consumption is to be expected. Just trying to get a feel for what is average. :thumb Jason

So I've been debating on what I want for a personalized license plate. So far I've come up with the below ideas: Lust, C6 Lust... Or what ever variation that has not been used 12X2NDS = 12.x Seconds She is a 12 second car :) DDLYSIN = Deadly Sin Lust is one of the 7 deadly sins...

Is there a way to lower the seats in a C6, beyond the limit of pushing the down button on the power seats I mean? I'm almost 6'6" tall, and in my normal driving position I have about 1" between the top of my head and the underside of the roof. The helmet I wear when I go to the strip is a good...

It has been a while since I've heard about any tuner cars comming from Guildstrand, but then I found a story on Edmunds.com about Guildstrand's GSRT, or "Grand Sport Removable Targa" The story dosent mention any performance numbers, but considering the $95,000 price tag (on top of a new Z06)...

For some reason the local drag strip wont let me run my car with out a helmet. :D Does anyone have any favorites? Any recommendations? Jason

So riddle me this: I usually use key fob #1, and every time I go to open the door with the fob in my pocket, it opens, just like it is supposed to. Lately however, when I try to start the car, there will be a lot of clicking, and the DIC will show "No Fob Detected", and the security icon will...

Just found this pic on Bad Boy Vettes.com. According to Left Lane News.com this is the 2011 C7 and it will appear in the forth comming Transformers 2 movie. This car is definitely a good fit for a Transformers movie, but that front end looks more like a Cadillac XLR than a Corvette. From the...

Is there a way to reduce the range of the key fob? My work area is about 20 yards from where I park my car every day, and it is not unusual to hear my alarm blaring because the panic button has been pressed while in my pants pocket. I've also come out on more than one occasion and found that the...

I was cleaning under the hood today, and I checked the brake and clutch fluid reservoirs. The clutch fluid is almost black, and should probably be changed. I'm not too surprised about that, because I did do 5 runs down the strip a few weeks ago. The brake fluid surprised me though, it is dark...
