Hey guys, I was driving the car hard for a few minutes, going full throttle for maybe 5 seconds at a time with breaks in between. I was at 4500rpm in third at full throttle when all of a sudden the engine dies. The charging and fuel systems are OK. It turns out that there is no compression...

Hey guys. I bought my 02 Z06 last November and am now looking for tires. This car has about 430 rwhp, so I'm thinking of running 275s in the front and 315/30/18s in the rear (on stock rims), to manage the extra power. My biggest concerns are tread life and cornering ability (for the canyons)...

My 95 6 spd is My problem is this; when the car is driven either in stop and go traffic or run very hard the transmission begins to make a knocking noise. The noise will stop when the clutch pedal is pressed to the floor. It only makes this noise when it is sitting at idle and when the car is...

I have finally begun saving up money for the first time since I bought my car one year and a half ago. I am looking at spending around the 1,500 range (I am flexible) on **California legal** exhaust and headers. I care much more about performance than about sound and look. I have looked through...

Occasionally when I push the clutch in the oil pressure gauge drops to 0 and the "Check Gauges" light comes on momentarily. As soon as I get into gear and let the clutch out completely, the oil pressure goes back to normal and the "Check Gauges" light turns off. Also, I've been getting the...

I'm trying to figure out what the factory color was for my 95 Coupe. Based on what I say on this website, there is nothing in the VIN. On top of that, I can't find any other stickers in the door jam that would indicate the color. Any suggestions/info would be great, thanks!

My vette was hit in the parking lot where I work pretty hard causing about $1800 worth of damage and I had another hit and run in front of my house costing $800 so I'm going to put the money together and get a paint job. Its currently a blue-ish purple with holographic flake and pinstriping...

I have one badly damaged tire in the left rear and I need to replace it. My rims in front are 17X9.5 in the front and 17X11 in the rear. The tires have a good amount of tread left on them, so I don't want to waste them if I really don't have to. I'm wondering if I should get two 315/35s for...

My brother has a 86 vette coupe and hes been experiencing some problems recently. He said about 3 out of 20 starts the car either would crank hard for a bit, then start, or not crank at all and not start. Once he knocked on the starter a couple of times, it would start. If I'm not mistaken...

I was driving down a highway at around 65mph approaching an intersection with my traffic light being green. When I came within about 100ft of the intersection I see a black mustang flying down the perpendicular street headed RIGHT in my direction at a very high speed. I knew he wasn't stopping...

I had a pretty bad day today, one of the reasons being that I came back to my car with a badly damaged windshield (a rock maybe?). Can I replace it myself? Where should I look for the windshield (junkyards, online, dealerships, etc.)? Eckler's price is about $450, is that reasonable? Any info...

My 95 coupe had some custom body work done to it (most of which I am not TOO fond of). One of the things the guy before me did was shaving the door handles. I am almost certain that this part has burned out (the solenoid) so I need to get inside the door to replace it. I got the bottom tacs...

First off, I'd like to remind you all that it is important to have a spare that is properly inflated. For those of you who bought your car used, make sure you are aware of whether or not you have all the tools you'll need (including the spare itself!) to change your tire. I was looking through...

I'm not sure if this topic is appropriate for this forum; I couldn't find the right place for it. I was just wondering where you guys mount your front plates. In California it is required to have a front plate and I have been pulled over ONLY because I did not have one mounted. They look...

All my life I've spent much of my free time reading about cars and devouring information. The problem is that now that I have my Corvette, I don't know much about how to work on it. I also happen to be looking for a part time job. I'm willing to take classes here in Los Angeles to learn how...

When I first got my vette, the first thing I tried was "double-clutching." I quickly realized, however, that my brake pedal and gas pedal are too far spread out and the gas pedal is farther in than the brake pedal. This makes it close to impossible for me to use the heel-and-toe shifting...

I have a 95 6-spd coupe with 54000 miles on it. Whenever I start the car, push the clutch in for whatever amount of time, and then release the clutch, I get a funny high-pitched noise. Sounds like a belt rubbing on something. I get a similar sound when I rev the engine and as I rev the engine...

Whenever I start the car, push the clutch in for whatever amount of time, let the clutch out, I get a funny high-pitched noise. Sounds like a belt rubbing on something. But that wouldn't make sense. It's a 95 6-spd coupe. Anybody know whats up? Thanks.

If the next corvette were all-wheel drive with all kinds of other improvements, would you still retain the same respect that you have (if any) for it? Do you think that if it were all-wheel drive, you would feel that Chevy has abandoned its heritage? Or would it excite you and make you think...

I just had my sound system (delco AM/FM/Tape) replaced in my 95 vette. Now, about every 5 minutes, the place on the console where it digitally displays fuel info, coolant temp, etc, it flashes "sys" for about a minute and then goes away. Anybody know what it could be? Do I need to have something...
