I have a 1980 corvette with a LS3 engine, aluminum radiator etc. If I could find a deal on a LS7, would the LS7 just drop into the same spot and hook up where the LS3 had been? No other modifications necessary?

A set of 4 Super Sport A/S 3+ tires for sale for a C7 Z06 or C7 Grand Sport with 9200 miles on them. 7/32 tread left. Rt front has a patch as there was a very small nail in it. $650. Call 406 544 4641.

A good friend of mine is thinking about selling his 2006 Z06 because he just found out that it has a potential head problem of some kind and if it "fails" he would have to put a new engine in at the tune of $12,000 or so and he can't afford that. What are the odds of his engine failing and is...

1/10th of 1% of my driving time is "drag racing". No, I am not putting on drag radials but just run what I have and maybe go a little faster once I start going. Same on the highway when I punch it; more acceleration and at 60 mph I think it would have less affect on stressing out drive trains...

So how do I check out Hib's Blue Bullet posts?

I'd like to do better in the drag races and on freeway entrances and passing on 2 lane roads. I assumed that these two reputable companies wouldn't be adding hp beyond what the car will handle and cause problems. The 650 hp just doesn't quite do "it all" for me. 750/800 I can imagine would...

If someone had the $18,000 or so to upgrade their C7 Z06 to Callaway's 757 hp or Lingenfelter's 800 hp; which would be the best one to get and why? Anyone out there unhappy with either upgrade? There are trade-offs on anything you do to your Z06. Does one out shine the other in overall pros and...

How do I ask Tadge?

I read all that and there really isn't any definitive information on exactly what the different modes do like in power available and say with PTM in DRY how is that different than just track mode without the PTM? Plain Track and Track PTM DRY both have active handling on and traction control on...

Thanks for that info. But I knew that. My questions was is track mode any different than Performance Trac 1,2 & 3?

What is the driving handling difference, with all the computers on, between TRACK MODE, without PTM on and TRACK MODE with PTM on say in Sport 1? Or otherwords what is the advantage of going to Sport 1 over just Track Mode?

I don't understand. They said 2 days to get my tires. Tomorrow it will be 10 days and only 3 tires came today. If I had been out of town I'd be running up big motel bills. There are really only two tires available for the Z06 and GS. The Continentals haven't made the rear tires yet. No one has...

I have to buy another set of tires tomorrow, I guess. I see the CONTINENTAL EXTREMECONTACT SPORT are now available besides the Michelin Pilot Super Sport which came with the car. The Continentals are NOT run flat but are about 2/3rds the price of the Michlelins. Do we need run- flats? Are the...

Can a couple of us enter this race at the last minute kind of a thing (2 cars)? Do you need a navigator or just run it alone for the sake of driving as fast as your entry class will allow and not really trying to win but just the experience of the race and the people you will meet? Can a rookie...

The more I read the more I believe that there really is a problem that shouldn't be there and certain measures can help with the overheating but won't really cure what is wrong, just appease it some. What makes the engine overheat? Water or oil or the supercharger and why? I know we have a water...

One thing I would like to add is that in normal spirited driving, auto cross and drag strip 1/4 mile racing; there isn't any over heating issues of any kind. It's the TRACK, at high rpm with multiple laps, that is the problem. I am sure a GM engineer could tell us exactly why that is and what...

I am very, very disappointed in GM on this issue. I am a corvette guy, always have been and always will be. I expected that "GM would take care of it" on my 2016 Z06 that so badly overheated on the track at the LS FEST WEST in Las Vegas the other day, that I had to come off after only 4 laps...

Thanks Hib. That's the most comprehensive answer I have read on the problem. I think by implementing your tips, I will be fine on the next rack event.

Whom is it at GM that I could get a hold of and, at least, get an answer as to "how to fix" the problem and worry about who's going to pay for it after it is fixed so I can race like I thought I would be able to in a Corvette Z06; Corvette's "race car"? Bigger radiator, different supercharger...

Would a normally aspirated engine overheated like that at high rpm? I was running Mobile 15-50 and I did change that when I got home. I didn't loose any coolant but should change it? I guess the only fix is to watch those RPMs and keep them down all I can next time as there doesn't seem to be a...
