What is it with GM batteries? Car is only 25 months old with 9500 miles and today I had to put another battery in. Last time was about a year ago. Went to start the garaged car this A.M. and dead as a doornail. Charged it a few hours and then proceeded to do an amp draw test and came up with...

About 6 months ago I started to get a grinding noise from the rear end. Took it to the dealer and they drained the lube and put in an additive as directed from GM. Noise went away but it started to come back recently when taking corners. The dealer's mechanic told me to complain and they helped...

Just read the TV Guide and noticed a new video at 10:00 P.M. tonight on NGC. A new program on building our 505 H.P. Z06. 59-62USNVET

About 55 degrees yesterday and I decided to try the different traction and non skid and competition modes on dry straight road. For the life of me, I couldn't get decent acceleration even without full throttle. I haven't drag raced in a long time. Then it was with a 56 Chevy with auto and a...

I seem to get a lot of inquires as how I was able to get my customized plates: Z06 LS7. I had no difficulty as I already owned a C5 Z06 and I knew that I was going to get an 06 Z06. I ordered the plates about 9 months before getting the 06 in Jan. of 06, long before they were being delivered. I...

As a supplement to my recent thread and especially to any Velocity Yellow Vet owners; this bit of info: The body shop informed me that the paint is something like a "three step?" process that costs more and most important according to the body shop owner is unavailable to California owners. I...

I am not getting any sympathy from either friends or family, so I feel that I must reach out to my fellow Corvette owners. Last week I was in a line of traffic stopped at a light. The light turned green and the car in front of me proceeded to go. Before I could move I was hit three rapid times...

Beautiful day in the N.E., so this morning my wife wanted (or needed?) to go out shopping so I decided to take the new Z06 out. I parked the car about 40 feet from the store entrance and decided to people watch outside by the entrance and keep my eye on the car. A lot of people were attracted to...

For the last 30+ years I have always purchased either Sunoco 260 or 94 in all of the Corvettes I have owned. Yesterday I pulled up to my local Sunoco station to fill my wifes sedan up with the usual 93. In NJ we are not supposed to pump our own. My wife noticed that the highest octane offered at...
