    EPA proposed "Tier 4" emissions rule likely to endanger the future of the V8 Corvette

    This reminds me. I gotta learn to ride a horse. Wonder if they'll need catcon's too....

    C6 convertible top prob

    I got a C6 base, last August. It has a power top that isn't going all the way up to the windshield. It goes all the way down, but returning back up, it goes to about 10 inches away from the rim, then automatically starts going back down. Is this a limiting switch or something I can adjust...

    Auto vs Manual for HPDE

    The 6060 is very robust. Never heard of a "6070." I like sticks for sport work. Then again, I'm an old dude. Every Corvette I've owned, has been a stick. No reason to break tradition.

    what to say

    Pretty sure the C6 Gen is a dead duck to GM.

    CLUTCH STUCK TO FLOOR

    I'm sure you got this figured out last year. But, for those that don't know...the clutch hyd system can get loaded with crud. To the point of the pedal sticking to the floor. The "Ranger Method" has been shown to reduce this malady from occurring. It's quite easy, too. I just bought a 2006...

    Wheels

    Sure, it's possible. Try it and find out how much they stick out. Call it an experiment. If ur gonna go 285's up front, you might as well go with 345's out back. I did...

    C-6 Exhaust Upgrade

    Too late! I had my NPP exhaust R & R by Godzilla and he banged around the top of the trans case. Well, there's a reverse lock-out electrical solenoid there. At least there's supposed to be. Anyway, after my exhaust was done, I HAD NO REVERSE. But, I DID have a CEL. $300 later, I had a...

    New key fob

    You gotta "tell" the car that the new FOBS is #1. Have you done the FOBS re-learn thing? When waiting your 15 minutes, be sure to have your 4-way hazards "on." This won't allow your ECM to go to "sleep." Don't forget to push the unlock button on the FOBS. This tells the car it's a new #1. FOBS.

    Poor Customer Service with WCC, West Coast Corvette

    Got a price for 2 sets of tires that were take offs. Drove up (2 hours) in my pick-up to get them, and the price changed by $350/set. Didn't buy them. I don't do business with "bait & switch" outfits... They've missed out on thousands of $$$ of business because of that. I'll buy from their...

    LS7 valve guide wear

    Interestingly, MY 2007 Z06's supposedly had the "suspect" rockers. Looks like the only thing to do is to verify that your valvetrain is the way it should be. (I don't want to use the term "spec" because it's just too sloppy, IMO)

    2014 Corvette Stingray Spotted in the Wild

    Yesterday (07APR13) I was riding my Triumph in the local mountains East of Sandy Eggo. It was 2pm and I was about a mile from Lake Cuyamaca restaurant when I come around a bend and there's a fleet of C7's heading my way. I didn't have enuf time to shoot some photos (altho my bike was wearing a...

    Warning! Classic Chevrolet Sugarland Wrecked My Z06 and Don't w

    What with all the legaleze and pain in the butt of having to deal with "diminished value" (If it's allowed in the OP's State, I would have taken the "New car for $15,000" Alex.) Having only $15,000 in a new C6 Corvette mean you stand to make $35,000 to $40,000 by selling it. These are numbers...

    Long Tubes and w/Stock Program

    I for one am glad "those days are long gone." Gone are the days of making 330HP and getting 6 mpg. Those old cars may have been nostalgic, but todays cars are better in every way (except price or resale value!) If my Z06 only got 6MPG on the highway, I likely wouldn't have bought it. It's...
