Got one for the gang to ponder. I took my 2000 C5 auto trans Vette to the local Chevy dealer for an oil change and to replace my belts. The service writer called and said my battery was bad (Optima Red Top that is 18 months old). I went up and got the battery and took it to the place I bought...

I just noticed a TV ad for the Corvette yesterday. Here is the question: when was the last time (what year) that any of you can remember a TV ad for the corvette? There are plenty of examples in magazines, etc. I can also think of TV ad examples that use the Vette to sell something else, but...

I have a 2000 coupe with the F45 suspension and 45,000 miles. One of the back shocks has started to make a sound kind of like squeezing a drink bottle with the top lightly screwed on -- a sort of breathy squeaking sound. When I go over a good size bump I can feel the back end bouncing unevenly...

I have noticed that the headlights on my 2000 coupe slightly dim when I hit the brakes. The meter is on about 13.5 when I start the car and goes to 14 after a few miles. I do not notice the gauge changing when I hit the brakes. Do I have a developing problem? :confused

I'm getting older -- help me remember. My car is parked under a carport with record low temps in North Alabama. When I start my 2000 coupe the odometer milage shows on the DIC and my HUD page is not set as it was before I stopped. I seem to remember that this was said in past discussions to be...

I am considering moving from my 2000 C5 to a 2005. Are there any first year concerns I should know about for the 2005 C6?

I was looking at the available unsold 2009 Vettes on Jeff Hardy's website. I noticed that a large percentage are Z51 cars. Is there something about that suspension option that makes them unpopular? 2010 Corvette Locator

I was just looking at the Vette locater on the JeffHardy.com site. There are 1,463 2009s listed as still for sell at dealers around the U.S. I found that number of 2009 leftovers amazing! This is the middle of December, only a couple of weeks left in the year! Has anyone else seen so many...

I am considering moving up to a C6. What are your opinions concerning any first year problems that the 2005 has?

I saw a Corvette that I did not recognize. Can anyone give me info on this one? The Vette is a 2006 convertible. It is white with a red stripe. The strip is bordered by a gray outline with "Z51" in it. I know that means it has the Z51 suspension package. There is also a sticker with the...

On a C5 driver do you keep the old exhaust when replacing it with a cat-back system?

I replaced the plug wires on my 2000 coupe and after about 3,000 miles had one wire burn through. The car started having an irregular misfire and I first thought that the wires may be the problem. I thought one may be loose (I never feel sure that I get a good contact). I also read a lot...

My 2000 coupe has developed a slight miss at idle and the gas mileage has dropped off a little. I think it is time for a tune-up. Here is my question: Which of the following would be best? a. A tune-up by my local Chevy dealer. b. Buy a handheld tuner and do it myself with the preloaded...

I have a history and current 40 BCM B2597 Traction Control System Switch Circuit code. Is this a code that needs immediate attention?

I'm curious about how many of us are using a waterless car wash? I have been using Freedom Waterless Car Wash and I'm very happy with the results.
