    Grand Sport New (to me) Grand Sport

    I have had my 2010 Grand Sport for a little over a month now and can't even think of words to describe my pleasure with this car. It now has 14,700 miles on it and it really is awesomely fast. I ran it at the drag strip a couple weeks after buying it to get some bone stock base line runs...

    Traded: 2012 Camaro for 2006 Corvette

    I think I got a great deal on a trade for a 2006 Corvette base model Vette. It's white, automatic, 3LT, heated seats, 6 disk Bose and a bunch of other stuff. I got as much in trade for my 2012 Camaro as I paid for it in April. I posted this news on the Camaro5 forum and one guy replied< "You...

    Camaro or C6?

    In April I traded my 2010 Camaro SS L99 for a 2012 SS LS3...auto vs manual. I just wasn't happy with the new car since, with the same bolt ons as the L99, it just wasn't as fast in the 1/4 mile. While looking for the new Camaro, I talked to my favorite Chevy dealership, Serra in Memphis and told...

    1984 Overheating

    I know this is a very old subject and I've searched for remedies to the reports of overheating on the single fan C4s and found most would agree, these C4s need an all aluminum 2 row radiator to fix the problem. However, I was perusing the GM 1984 Corvette Shop Manual, Electrical Troubleshooting...

    9.5 inch Rear Wheels - Z51?

    I now own a 1984 C4 and have been working hard to bring it up to my standards. The RPO code sticker isn't anywhere others say it might be, so I'm waiting to go to the Corvette Museum to get the build sheet and window sticker for it. However, in the center console, I found a short caution note...

    Beat a 350Z - Eighth Mile Runs

    Just took my bone stock 84 to the drag strip last night and ran a best of 9.45 at 74 mph. Beat a 2006 287HP Nissan 350Z. I don't think that's too bad...I had a blast! Don't knock it, my 2008 modded Mustang Bullitt only ran 1/10th faster...traded that one in on a Camaro, real quick!!!

    Super Chevy Magazine....My Camaro

    Gees, I've had this Super Chevy magazine for more than a month and just found a picture of my car in it. I ran at the Holley LS Fest in Bowling Green last year and won runner-up. What a nice surprise....I just went to the publisher and bought a hundred copies of the magazine.....no, only...

    Free car looking a little better!!!

    Just finished getting the 84 repainted and although it's not the best paint job, it's ok for a daily driver. What do you think...before and after?

    Headlights, Left Opens But Won't Close Automatically!

    My driver's side headlight wasn't opening and I had been driving with both open using the manual operation mode. I thought the headlight motor had gone bonkers, but found out (after removing it and testing it) that the motor is in great shape. When I put it back in the car, I was amazed that...

    Defect to Russia, but Never, Never, Never Replace the Water Pump (84)!

    I am convinced it would have been easier to pull the engine than change the water pump on my 84 Vette. You have to dismantle the front of the engine, take the passenger side valve cover off, disconnect fuel lines and wrestle every piece off the car. I broke the aluminum bracket for the AC...

    Nurburgring - How Many Have Driven It?

    Just curious how many of the CAC members have driven The Nordschleife? I was living and working in Italy and drove from Aviano to Nurburg and drove 4 laps on this world famous track. It was an unbelievable experience, but I wish I had known the track as well then as I do now (thanks to...

    C4 RPO Options Listed?????

    My daughter is giving me a 1984 C4 Coupe and I am dying to get it in hand and start using it. Having had several Vettes in the past, I know there's a sticky somewhere that tells me what options came on the car when it was built like the RPO code list. That list was found in the glove box of my...

    Wheels for My 1984 Coupe

    I know it can be done, but can anyone give me an idea of what I need to do to install C5 wheels on my C4? I really don't like the C4 wheels and I've seen lots of pics of C4s with C5 and even C6 wheels. Thanks.

    New to the CAC, but not to Corvettes!

    Strange set of circumstances...my daughter owes me some bucks from a loan quite a few years ago which I really never expected to get back. She called the other day and said, "Dad, would you like to have the Vette as payment for the loan?" So, what do you think this "certified" Car Nut said...
