    Reduced Wind Noise

    :wA problem that we all have in the coupe is the incessant wacka wacka wacka when the roof is off and over 50 mph. It drives me nuts.:mad I noticed that if I place my hand between the (raised) sunvisors. The turbulence is reduced and the ride is much quieter. So since I cant drive that way, I...

    Question: C5 Exhaust systems

    Here is a question I have never seen addressed. How long (years/miles) can I expect to get from my Year 2000 stock exhaust ??;shrug The reason I ask is that I often see almost new (used) systems for sale. They were possibly taken off to upgrade to an after market performance system. Some are...

    Question: Fuel Readouts - After Battery Disconnect

    I had some mechanical work done on my 2000. The mechanic disconnected the battery as a safety issue. Since then the fuel readouts are crazy. MPG is a low number and keeps going up as you watch it even if not at speed. It acts like a timer rather than a fuel readout. The same for range and...

    Question: Why is everything Corvette so expen$ive??

    It's a question that most vette owners will eventually ask. Why does a $2 T-shirt with a Vette logo cost $30? Why does a metal exhaust outside trim plate cost hundreds? Or an emblem cost $60? and on on on !! I know it's because it's an exclusive car etc. Blah.Blah. Is there a place to get...
