I don't brake for speed limits either.

The profitable part is run from Europe.

Duh! They did come up with it first. The Brits were using independent suspension with transverse leaf springs in 1953 when the Corvette was using mid 50s Chevy sedan suspension with a solid rear axle and crap front suspension. http://www.motorbase.com/vehicle/by-id/42/

There was a thread in another forum where several people had problems with exhaust fumes with with them on C6s.

Saturn has had RHD versions. My mail lady has one. I'm sure would enjoy her job more if she had an RHD Corvette to make her rounds in :) Also Jeep Wranglers and Cherokies were available RHD at various times

My C4 donut is full of air and good. I've never used it, but by measurement the ground clearance would get real low with the tub cranked down to take a rear wheel. It would beat walking though.

I'm new to run flats. Do you do a temporary plug job on them the same way as any other tubeless tire? FWIW, the plugs in kits I've had in the past have dried out after a few years. It would be a good idea to keep fersh plugs in a repair kit.

On my C4 I drive it up on 2 short lengthwise sections of 2x6 to get the car far enough off the ground to get a floor jack under the front cross member. Maybe that's what they were refering to instead of crossways.

Answering my own question..... I emailed Zaino and got a response back from Sal Zaino in less than 30 minutes. According to Sal there is no reason other than cost to not use Z8 all the time instead of Z6. He uses Z8 all the time. As well I as soon as I'm out of Z6.

I used it on my recently Zainoed black 96. It's definitely shies better than Z6, which is no slouch. Does anyone know the real reason Zaino is saying Z8 is for special occasions? I costs more than Z6 but at 30+ applications per bottle, who cares?

I just finished claying my black 96, which looked decent before I started but felt real bad with the baggie on the hand criteria. I doubt the car was ever clayed before (I bought it used). It took me over 7 hours of steady work to do a pretty good but not perfect clay job. That's a long windy...

If you're as messy as I am, mask the glass and adjacent fabric with masking tape. Remove the masking tape as soon as you are done applying the goop, before the Goop sets. Off topic but close: Goop and thin, strong fabric like nylon makes good shift boot patches. My shift boots had three...

Try Goop by Eclectic products, Goop Website available at most hardware and many automotive stores. The Outdoor, Marine or RV varieties would be good choices. Automotive is good too but I don't think it's UV resistant. Maybe that wouldn't matter in your application. You will need to...

With the bulbs out the circuit is open, exactly the opposite of shorted. Your battery won't drain because of the underhood lights if the bulbs are out.

The GM fluid comes from the dealer. DOT3 will work and there is nothing wrong with using it short term if you need to. You might not even have any problems using it long term, but it doesn't lubricate the seal as well and you might have shorter master and slave cylinder life. Your choice.

The special clutch fluid's claim to fame is it's better than brke fluid lubricity. Clutch MCs get stroked further more frequently than brake M cylinders. A lot of people get away with DOT 3 or 4 brake fluid, I prefer clutch fluid because of the extra lubricity. Your choice.

I rerouted the right light wire so it got power from the left light, then drilled a hole in the hood stiffner and installed a switch right next to the left light. About 30 minutes, but it's a Corvette, it's worth the effort :)

Especially since Orygun has some of the best microbrews in the country. California has good microbrews too, but I need to do a few more years of comparing them to decide which state has the best. :)
