    is the corvette in danger?

    I had hoped that with the prospect of Chevrolet surviving the restructuring of GM, that the Corvette would also survive. However, with the Federal Government holding a majority of the equity in a newly structured "lean and green" GM, I too now firmly believe that cars such as the Corvette will...

    Z 51 option and "Additional Cooling"

    C4C5: Reason he took it to the dealer was what appeared to be a "ticking" noise that would occur when running the vehicle at speed. The ticking noise would increase both with speed and revving the engine. Consequently, my friend took it to the dealer expecting a sticky valve or...

    Z 51 option and "Additional Cooling"

    Hey Guys: I just talked with my friend who had the transmission problem and he said that it was not the seals that failed, but that the bearings themselves were "shot" (to quote the mechanic). Sorry about the mix up. The fluid was jet black. The mechanic did not know just why the failure...

    Z 51 option and "Additional Cooling"

    I'll see my friend this week at work and get back to you. I'll make sure he provides a more detailed description on what the case actually is with his transmission. However, about my original question, does the Z51 option also include a transmission cooler for the manual/automatic...

    Z 51 option and "Additional Cooling"

    Hey Guy: I have a 2007 Z51 coupe with about 8400 miles on it. We took it on a 2000 mile trip last October with our friends who have a 2003 Z06. After returning from the trip, my friend's 2003 Z06 encountered transmission issues which lead to a rebuild. The oil in...

    News: Corvette C7 On Hold?

    While at the Chicago Auto Show last week, one of the engineers who works at the Bowling Green Assembly Plant for Cadillac told me that just the week before the show, GM officially placed a hold on almost all engine developement. High performance engines like the LS-3 and LS-7 and I suspect...

    "Clear Bra" yes or no?

    3M Clear Bra on new paint I'm going to have one of these installed as well. 24 inch hood cover, the complete front end and chin spoiler, rocker panels and door handle recesses- all for about $1,000. I'm concerned however about putting this on the car so close to the time it was built. I...

    How old is the "average" C6 buyer?

    Glad to hear it!! My cousin has the Corsa Indy Pace Car Exhaust on his Millenium Yellow 2000 C5 Convertible. It's absolutely thrilling to hear when he stands on it but quieter at constant throttle. n

    How old is the "average" C6 buyer?

    Waiting for my new Vette for 45 years! Ever Since my cousin first purchased a 63 split window with a 327 - 4BBl, I always dreamed of owning a Vette. Finally, after 45 years of dreaming, I went out and ordered one! The car will be built the week of the 30th of April, 2007. I'm 56 and I feel...

    Pictures of the Silver Corvette SS Have Been Faked?

    I couldn't agree more!! I felt that all this was was a new twist on the shouting used car salesman to get attention (i.e. to get us all to view Winding Road's website). I won't view their website nor will I take anything quoted from their web site as genuine. SKIP

    December 2006: The Web of Deception

    For What It's Worth.... I guess that I view this as a quick and dirty way to call our attention to the Winding Road Website. Nothing more. So I choose not to take offense at how they pulled this trick off. I simply did not patronize them by visiting their web site. I remember adds for a...

    Would You Buy One?

    Would I buy one? If the performance characteristics and all the rumors are 90% correct, I suspect that I'd buy one. (Albeit with a few thousand miles on it from the first owner) With Porsche charging 100 big ones for some of their vehicles that have substantially less oomph under the hood...

    MORE Photos From The CarConnection!

    Hib I think your comments are "spot on"! Hib: I think you pretty much hit the mark as far a explanations. Yes, if you look at the frontal pic of the silver Blue Delvil with the black hood bra, you can't help but wonder if the driver could even spot a pothole in the road - the sight...

    Drove a new C6 with 6 speed automatic

    Greenie: Small world indeed! I Graduated from UW - Madison '74. My brother's 911S is indeed a sweet ride but not as roomy as the 'Vette nor as powerful. I do not think that the 911 S even gets as good gas mileage as the 'vette. Did you get anything off list for your new fide? Skip

    Drove a new C6 with 6 speed automatic

    Greenie: I see you're from the PA area. Great sports car country! I make it through there at least 2 x yearly on my way to Virginia. I'm fortunate in that my brother lives out there and he treats me to some roads that are like riding the back of a snake! He just bought a new...

    Drove a new C6 with 6 speed automatic

    Dude: Any way you order it, so long as it's a 'Vette, it can't be blowing it! I've had 2 black vehicles ( A Buick Regal GS, and now a Volvo V70 T5 sport wagon). I love both vehicles! But hard to keep them looking clean. What type of interior color did you order? What...
