    C6 front plate warning ticket

    I got two tickets in one week, one while parked! I broke down and bought a license plate holder from Zips Corvette products. It's anodized aluminum. Mounts pretty low so the plate doesn't interfere too much with the look of the front end (at least that's what I tell myself). Here is a link...

    Damn Curbs!!!!

    Me too. I finally broke down and put my front plate back on after two tickets :( I bought a mount from Zips. The bottom edge is a couple of inches below the bottom of the front end, so I'm super paranoid about parking curbs.

    Thoughts on the Nav System

    I have an '05 C6 with the Nav system and single CD player. I always leave the DVD in (because according to the manual, the nav system doesn't work without it. It does use the GPS signal from the sat's to track your postion, and uses the DVD to display the maps), and I have no problems playing...

    Improved auto trans fluid from GM DEXRON VI

    So if I bought an 05 C6 which was delivered in Aug 05, would the 4 speed tranny have the DEXRON-VI fluid?

    Holes in the Nose

    Jimailer, If it was installed like mine, they only used adhesive backed circles. I was able to just pull it off, and then remove the residual glue with alcolhol or goo-gone. Mine was on for a few months before I removed it, and I found that the plastic license plate holder scratched a line in...

    Map lights won't turn off!

    Check your instrument panel dimmer knob. I've accidentally turned it on before. Took me awhile to figure it out.

    Annoying Seatbelt issue

    Haven't noticed it with my C6 Vert. Guess I'll have to pay attention next time I take it out alone.

    DSOM Rules!

    The DSOM in the vert with the tan roof is awesome. I have a lemans blue with the tan, but would gladly swap for the DSOM

    New C6 License Plate Bracket!!!!

    I pulled my front plate off last week with no problem, except for the residual glue. But the top of the friggin plate holder scratched a line in the paint right smack in the middle of the front end! I've been running with it for about 9000miles.

    Borla or B&B?? Expert advice please

    Kenny, Thanks for the info. I like the pops and burbling too. I don't think I'll go with the X-pipe. I can live the the resonance. To be honest there is so much power in the vette without adding headers and the x-pipe, that it would probably be more of a psychological boost in...

    Borla or B&B?? Expert advice please

    VAmagred01, I agree with you that the B&B Bullets are amazing. I've had mine since Dec (a christmas present from my wife), and never get tired of them. I am considering adding the X-pipe to the system. Do you have any experience with them? If so, do they eliminate the resonance as...

    New Front License Plate Mounting Bracket Update!!!!

    How do you get the old adhesive attached license plate holder off? Is it easy to brute force it, or will that take some of the paint off with it?

    Borla or B&B?? Expert advice please

    B&B are Very Aggressive USNRET, I have a set of the B&B Bullets, and they are very aggressive sounding. I have an 05 Convertible, and at speed they aren't too loud, but you know they are there. They resonate quite a bit at 50 MPH (sinus draining resonance), but otherwise are not bothersome...

    Help me choose new exhaust

    I installed Billy Boat Bullets on my 05 convertible I too spent some time researching which exhuast to get. I didn't have the luxury of hearing any of them in person, and had to listen to the files on each manufacturer's site. I was leaning towards the Corsa Sport, the Route 66, and the...

    2006 C6 A/T Question

    I haven't noticed it either. It seems to be harder to take it out of park if the car isn't warmed up.

    C6 Oil Change Interval

    My dealer said the oil change interval is every 10,000 miles and given my "Remaining Oil Life" indicator on the DIC, it will be a little over that. Should I change the oil sooner? Other than the ocassional burst of exceleration for fun, I don't run it hard.
