    Mobil Synthetic Lubricant for differential-Question

    i used a Lucas Product when I had my '98 formulated for LS differential. I never added anything more and never had a problem! When my "04 need to be changed I had the dealer do it. I have an excellent " GM World Class tech" that works on my car.

    Removable top

    MY first C5 was a coupe with the two top option. I agree that removing the top or replacing it in a hurry could be troublesome. my current C5 is a convertible and while it is not a power top (2004) it is so much easier to lower and raise.

    Question: Secondary Air Injection System

    I had a similar problem with my '98 coupe. I checked everything and replaced the check valves. Long story short ,it turned out to be a bad relay.

    GM's V8 Production Down by Half - Should Next Gen Corvette Adopt a V6 to Keep Up with the Times?

    I'm sure that they could go with a smaller displacement V8 and get the horsepower up there. I don't see the need for a V6 just as I don't see the need to change from an pushrod to overhead cam outside of the ability to use VVT. Nothing wrong with an engine that has a lower center of gravity...

    GM's V8 Production Down by Half - Should Next Gen Corvette Adopt a V6 to Keep Up with the Times?

    I'm not a purist that insists that things stay the same but I will say that I have driven my son's Ferrari and while it's a great car , it doesn't have the " push your eyeballs into the back of your skull" torque that my Corvette has and yes, that goes hand in hand with a lower displacement.Is...

    Manual shift Lock out?

    I have had the shifter out of my car and the only thing that runs to the transmission , which as you know is in the rear on the C5 & C6 , is the singular rod that runs from the shifter housing mounted on the torque tube to the trans axle. There are no cables that run to the shifter housing or...

    Manual shift Lock out?

    I have a C5 coupe with a 6speed manual also and they do not have a trans. lock.I don't know that they could roll the car away but they will not be able to start it without the "Pass Key"-no fuel or spark!

    After Market Exhaust

    Toms 01 is correct. Several years ago I installed a B&B Bullet system on my C5 and with the stock H pipe it had quite a gurgle at idle. The X pipe does away with that and it changes the sound. It also does a better job balancing out the cylinder banks and it does improve exhaust flow. It wasn't...

    Exhaust System Problem

    You can , as the proverbial saying goes , kill two birds with one stone here. Get rid of that rediculous H pipe and replace it with an aftermarket X pipe. This will result in better performance , better sound , and new flanges to bolt your axle back system to!

    Still the best C7 info/article: Chevrolet Corvette C7 - Sneak Preview 2008

    We recently had a GM official speak at one of our Corvette club meetings and although we couldn't pin him down on particulars he did state that the C7 will be a new car. They will offer a split window coupe and and a much needed upgraded interior. In reading between the lines it sounds like we...
