    What tires are you running and why?

    Are there decent all-season tires out there in Z06 sizes? I bought my non-Z06 car with Z06 wheels but standard sized tires. Looks dopey and might be a safety issue. But, it's a year-round DD so I need ASRs. Any thoughts?

    Lots of folks out there bashing the C4...what gives?

    I can relate. I wobbled between dislike and "so what" re Vettes until 4 years ago when I test drove an LT1 C4. I was shocked that I liked it so much and I bought it a week later! I enjoyed that car immensely every minute I owned it. I could never see trashing the C4 -- but I must admit I like...

    Thanks for starting this Remo :beer and a very Merry Christmas to all -- I'm new to the C5 community owing to the attached Christmas (and next Valentines, anniversary and birthday) present. I'm definitely feeling jolly... :lou

    911 with chevy engine!

    Sounds like fun if done well -- I bet most are not. Of course the "true believers" in each camp will hate you. All the more reson to have one!

    Used C4 Market (Beware, im venting inside)

    ;shrug A lot going on in here. My observation over the past two years is you can: Appreciate the Corvette heritage Drive your C4 right into the ground (there were over 300K of them made -- plenty of collector/waxer types to preserve a few thousand for my great-grandkids) Drive it fast Know...

    Popular Mechanics Gets the Hard Facts on Chevy’s Supercharged ‘Vette

    Thank goodness I'll never be able to afford it. Not being able to get a manual would really tick me off :chuckle

    Cold Air Induction

    One more thought -- if your buddy is looking for looks and quality, SLP is the way to go. If he is interested in performance and quality and a more stock look is OK, tell him to save his money and just cut the air filter lid (or buy a cut one so he can save the original) and stick in a K&N...

    Anyone With a LT1 Race a Boxster?

    Based on some road test results I quickly checked you are about equal to an "S" Not bad for a car 10 years older and much more affordable!

    Pinch me

    Congrats on your beautiful '94. There's something about a black LT1, isn't there? This is my first one too -- haven't stopped grinning since I bought it a year ago. You will find keeping it clean a bit of a chore -- but it's a labor of love! Don't forget to wave! :w

    Info on stripe kits?

    Since you want opinions -- I like that stripe kit a lot. It's enough different than the GS (plus no fender stripes) that the whole wannabe thing is not an issue IMHO. Looking at your picture and your wheels, I keep thinking the silver will look MUCH better than black. I'm a pretty stock, no...

    1st time on a dyno...

    Not necessarily -- if it's an automatic, the correction factor would be 18%. So divide 305 by .82 and you get 372 at the crank. Aren't the LS1's rated @ 345 crank HP? If so, 27 HP from the exhaust and CAI would be pretty good, I'd think. Even using 15% (6-spd. correction, I'm told) you would...

    How much HP from this mod?

    From the research I did, the cut lid is a bit more beneficial than just putting in a K&N on C4's -- but it's a matter of the total mod package. I noticed no SOTP improvement when I put mine on, but I was changing the filter anyway and adding a chip and exhaust later. So, to me it was a small...

    breathing in befor out...

    I got the metal one with the filter as a kit and I'm very satisfied with the quality. Did not really notice any performance difference, but in combination with my other mods (exhaust and PCMforless chip) there was a definite improvement. Anyway, I have seen one or two negative comments about...

    I Needed Therapy

    Well at least one other Vette was cruising in South Jersey on Saturday. My goddaughter turned 11 last week so for her birthday I picked her up (Harrison Twp.) in the Vette and we went to see the Narnia Chronicles (Deptford Mall). I think she was a BIT more excited about the movie than the...

    "opinions please"do c4 corvettes look good with rear mount spoilers"?

    Since yer asking for honest opinions, one more vote against. But, for some strange reason I really like DanC's. Must be that it was a fairly common look on some mid-90's cars (like Stealths) and to my eyes it somehow fits (unlike the Greenwoods which I agree work much better on the pre-91...

    " best aftermarket chip to buy"

    I just installed a PCMforless on my stock LT1. Definite SOTP improvement at WOT through most of the rev range. And car runs noticeably smoother. www.pcmforless.com Do a search on PCMforless in this forum and corvetteforum.com. Lots of very satisfied folks with mods. But, i can only...
