She was my friend
I got to know Jane Ann on this forum. I remember meeting her in Bowling Green during one of the cruise-ins. When we arrived, she was the first to greet me with a big bear hug. She was always wise and gentle. But she could also slice you in two with her tongue, while...
I found the noise level to be difficult to live with. It is road and tire noise. It seems to mostly come from the bulkhead right behind the seats. On a worn road surface, there is a constant roar. You cannot conduct a conversation without speaking very loudly. The soundmats and partition that I...
I have owned a 2002 Z06 since 2003. It was my daily driver until about a year ago. I have enjoyed the car as a daily driver, but I would offer a word or two of caution. The Z06 is noisy. On rough roads, it is not possible to have a conversation at highway speed. I ended up pulling the interior...
I find it interesting that one of the major points in the editorial is not discussed in the posts at all.
These guys absolutely PLUNDERED the economy and not enough of them are in jail.

It is my understanding that there was less sound deadening material installed in the Z06. The focus was on performance, so any way that they could reduce weight was important. And without an aftermarket partition, the "trunk" area of the Z06 is just as open to the passenger compartment...
I have owned a '97 coupe and a 2002 Z06. The Z06 is quite a bit noisier than the coupe. If I was driving on a worn concrete freeway near my house, it was impossible to converse with a passenger. It is mostly tire noise. I ended up gutting the interior and doing the Frost King sound...
Is that a constant or an intermittant problem?
Mine often says "pull key, wait 10 seconds". On occasion it will say "service column lock". I have had it to the dealer several times and had the recall procedure done. It still does this. You can clear the "service column lock" by disconnecting...
The autocross events in my area are operated by the local SCCA club. Here is a link to what I would guess is your local club. There will be some contact information on the SCCA website:

Jane Ann-
He gets it. He is suggesting solving the "problem" by buying a C5 with less power than the LT4. We could debate that issue, but...
I still think this is a hilarious thread.

The Petersons own Fairly Reliable Bob's car dealership. I would bet that they sell as many Corvettes as the rest of the Idaho dealers combined. I have purchased two from son Butch.
I know Del, Ilene, and Cassie myself. They are nice folks. Cassie is probably the only dog around who owns her...
I like it!!!
You have to be careful, as the car will steer around sideways from the REAR wheels under those same circumstances. Perhaps you should have the steering diagnosed as well.
I don't believe that is necessary for off the shelf CAI kits. The computer "learns" in response to small changes like that. A little driving will be all that is needed.
