Yes, 68Roadster, they are both 6-speeds, of course. Beaverlodge is in the foothills of the Rockies and we have some amazing roads around here. Living in the boonies is great!

I realise that this is Carol's spot but I am Bill, her husband and I am now a C6 owner too. No one will be surprised to learn that I am impressed by the car. Between Christmas and New Years, GM went nuts with discounts. I contacted Saskatoon Motor Products (SMP) and Carl, the general manager...

Has anyone had a Procharger installed in their C6? If so, what are your impressions? Is the unit quiet on the highway? Have you had any problems with it? Will a Chevy dealership install it? What kind of money did it cost installed? Any input much appreciated. Thanks!

My silver 6-speed coupe has been 100% perfect. I have 6500 Km. (approx. 4000 miles) on the odometer and have had no problems whatsoever. I have found that the clutch is working more smoothly than at first, and I think that it is not just that I have gotten used to it. I purchased the CAGS...

Dear garnett: Here's a photo I found on another Corvette website (digitalcorvettes). I hope this helps. Carol

Dear yellow_2002_germany: Thank you for your reply. :) Yes, diameter does equal 2x radius but the turning circle given by car manufacturers is given in terms of the radius. Therefore, the 39 feet they are talking about describes a 78 ft. diameter circle. May I refer you to the following...

Dear Gregory: Thank you very much for your welcome. ;) I think "Silver" is a really cool name! :cool Good choice! Your "Silver" looks gorgeous and very well cared for! :upthumbs I got word earlier this week that mine was built last week and shipped on April 22nd. I have the VIN #. I...

Have a look at www.modernracer.com and find the comparison of the Mclaren F1, Saleen S7, Ferrari Enzo and the Koenigsegg CC. A C6 right out of the box has comparable aerodynamic drag (0.286), lateral acceleration on the skidpad (0.92 g) and braking performance ( 60mph to zero in 110 feet)...

Dear Oldgoat: I agree. If energy and emissions considerations have anything to do with future designs, we may very well be living in a period of time that some of the car mags are calling "the golden age of horsepower". What I would like to know is how long can I keep my 'vette? (It's still...

Assuming a nice day and a long journey, at what speed do you prefer to have the roof on because of wind noise and/or buffeting? Just curious. :bu

Question: On page 2-28 of the owner's manual, it seems to say that the 1 to 4 shift light comes on only when all three of the following criteria occur: 1. engine is warmer than 169 degrees F. 2. speed is between 15 to 19 mph. (24 to 31 kph.) 3. 21% throttle or less Would I be correct in...

Sounds like there is no problem, but can you tell me what a BCM is? Thanks, Carol

Question: OK, so I'm waiting months for my C6. I've viewed the DVD that comes with the brochure and it tells me to disconnect the battery for winter storage. The thing is, what happens to electronic memory such as the odometer reading and seat position memory settings? How are these retained...

Thanks Tammy! You've got it exactly! That article which I referenced in "The Economist" is well worth a read. I note that Toyota's profit margin is 6.7% and GM's is 1.9%. The important question has got to be something like this: "How can the profit margin be significantly increased...

Dear Sir: There is quite possibly a huge Corvette market out there that is largely untapped. This market would not change the character of the Corvette. I understand that the engine of economic growth in most G-7 countries over, say, the last two decades has been the start-up and growth of...

Congratulations, Jimmy! Beautiful pictues of a beautiful car in the beautiful sunshine! And she is in YOUR driveway! :upthumbs Carol :)

Congratulations jimmyb and Billybeau1!!! :D You have made my day!!! I also have a silver C6 convertible on order. I'm sure it will be quite a few months before I see her, but I now know it will be worth the wait. Hope you have many miles of fun! :Steer Carol ;)

Great to hear from all of you! :upthumbs My husband and I own a lot in our town which we are landscaping at present with the plan to live on someday. The entrance to this property is from a cul-de-sac. I just looked up the radius of the pavement of this cul-de-sac and it is 41 feet...

Dear Corvette Tech: I have never driven a corvette but will be as soon as my C6 order gets processed. My husband had me look up comparative turning circle radii of cars and trucks. I saw that the corvette's radius is approx. 40 feet. Our Ford F150 pick-up truck's radius is approx. 34 feet. How...

Dear invinceablevette: My schedule says we try our scheme on for size between May '05 (after the garage we are building for my new vette is finished) and mid-July '05 (when my 25th wedding anniversary is). Bill, my husband, has given me this new silver C6 for our 25th (silver) anniversary. It...
