    Question: To Wing or not to Wing??

    If you track the car this set up looks real mean and I like it (on the track), but for me it would be way overboard for normal street use.

    Question: Bose cd error

    Many of head units were saved from scrap bin by running a CD cleaner disk through them. Like the one you can buy at Radio Shack. It's a blank CD with a small brush on it and it cleans the laser head. Worth a try before ponying up the cash.

    my first vette problem

    There are several ground points on a C5. I'm at work and don't have the info to post, it's the several wires in the plug that is grounded to the frame that can cause grounding problem which can manifest into the problems you are having. Do a search and you will find lots of pictures.

    What is it with Mustang guys?

    That is one sick ride. I don't thing anyone driving a car like that would act stupid on the road. Having said that I think most people that are driving serious performance cars don't act irresponsible when sharing a road with others. It's mostly, but not exclusively, young drivers who are...

    Question: go faster?

    I think the Op was referring to a chip you plug on top the ECM (old school) and was not referring to changing parameters within the ECM. Such chips are worthless because in time the ECM will adjust for preprogrammed AFR, timing retard etc. ratios. The ECM does not actually sees the chip but...

    Trouble starting my C5

    Did the dealer call you with the cost of the repair once he diagnosed what the issue was. It seams that would be a good time to have him explain what the problem is, how is he planing to fix it and what the cost of such repair will be. Arguing with him after the repair is made is kind of mute...

    Terrible service at GM Dealerships

    Sorry about your experience at the dealer, hope this guy is one of those that get cut. As far as your lock, what was the problem and did they resolve it for you?

    Trouble starting my C5

    I would think that if you could not insert the key all the way into the tumbler you could not turn the ignition at all. The ignition only reads a code that is embedded in the chip on the key (basic resistor). Bottom line if the key goes in and the ignition turns you don't need a new ignition...

    What is it with Mustang guys?

    Probably for the same reasons you don''t see many Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti etc. There are quite a few Corvettes on the track and they run 11's and 10's on average which is not to shabby. You are wright that Novas, Cameros, mustangs are dominant in numbers but does that mean anything? I...

    Trouble starting my C5

    Try cleaning the chip in the key and inside the lock. There are many threads on the procedure, if you look you'll find them.

    What is it with Mustang guys?

    If a guy showed up at work boasting that he raced a Toyota on a way to work and won no one would give a dam, on the other hand if he said he beet a Corvette the answer would be wow your car is fast. Guess to beet a Corvette is a kind of Holly Grail for most. They all won't to try if it does not...

    lambo doors on a vette?

    And there is something wrong with that ?:L Just attended two days of back to back Corvette shows and there were plenty of these conversions. When I first got the C5 I thought about these to make entering the car easier in tight parking spaces. C5 doors are only 1 1/2" shorter than barn doors...

    Question: go faster?

    :thumb The computers in new cars are a lot smarter than the old ones, they are able to sens changes the chip made and over time will adjust themselves to original specs. Dyno tuning will produce best/safest results that will last.

    Question: Any way to know if a car has been tuned/flashed?

    No way to check without getting a look at the tune and you will need some hardware/software to do that. The best thing is to take it to a dealer and have it flashed with current GM tune and all upgrades. If it was tuned and locked before they will be able to tell you and it should cost no more...

    Fuel shut off.

    12.25 is to low, anything below 12.7 can and most of the time will cause the message. Checking the voltage when running is useless as far as the column lock because all the check functions take place as soon as the key is inserted into the ignition. As said above recharge the battery and try again.
