    Corvette gets up to 87 mpg

    I look at my mileage as the equivalent of about 10% less than calculated because of the use of premium fuel which is roughly 10% more than 87 octane. Just keeps things in perspective. Just my nickel's worth

    Wait for Spring to buy?

    If you are looking at convertibles then I would say definitely the price will go up as soon as the nice weather hits. It has been said that the best time to buy a car is the week between Christmas and New Year's, and as it has past, I'd have to agree that prices are inching upward. Good...

    Insurance cost's for a C4?????????????

    I suppose everyone needs a rant now and then, but your question that started the thread was how much insurance is going to cost. You realize of course folks can only provide information about what they pay, and give you references about who to contact. None of us know your variables, driving...

    New Firestones on the Market

    Armor All is so last week and low tech!! Toss it and try Meguiar's Endurance brand of tire gel. Lasts long time, doesn't wash off in the rain, and won't turn your sidewalls brown.

    Insurance Cost

    If it is your only vehicle and if you are on your own policy, then I would venture a guess at being over $2000/year for full coverage w/high deductible. Course your driving record and any previous claims will have a bearing on that. Regarding the front license plate..., the best way to get...

    Oil Additive?

    I agree w/others about STP, however, one product that a number of my car club acquaintences and other folks I am in contact with swear by is Lucas' Oil treatment. Lucas is made for both dino and synthetic oils. I use the Lucas dino in my old Mustang ('67, 289/88K) but mainly because the car...

    Need help finding color code.

    68 and 81 are the correct color codes for the original paints for your car. Won't help much if it has been repainted, or if it is sunfaded. The codes are in my Cor-Vette Specs Book and I trust that to be correct.

    Car Jacking Height

    ic..... jack should be just fine. I believe the Corvette has 6" ground clearance, You can verify that in your owner's manual. I have a couple of different floor jacks in my garage and each works w/o clearance problems. You'll see other posts in here where guys lift their car up using a...

    Corvette Assembly Plant Tours

    At our Corvette Club Meeting last night we were told that beginning shortly, if not already in place, there is going to be a $5.00 charge for all tours, although now they will include the Caddy Line. Yeez, can't believe this is another GM profit motive!! :mad

    Spring Too Will Come

    Funny thing happened to me this morning, ...went out to the storage building to check on my vehicles, making sure all the Battery Tenders were working and everything else was peaceful. And then I heard it, this "voice" calling, saying "Drive me and it will come", "Drive me and it will come"...

    A Better View of Your Corvette's Uniqueness

    I know, you could be absolutely correct, and judging by the way GM does not have accurate records, we'll never know for sure. And because of a lack of definitive, public records, we have the mathematical procedure called "extrapolation", whereby certain mathematical asssumptions of known...
