    C-7 Oil Change

    I have a 2015 C-7, non Z06, non Z51. Should the oil be changed at 500 miles? Will GM pay for that 500 mile oil change on a non Z06, non Z51 car? Thanls! Tom

    Hatch Pull Down for Coupe?

    I believe the 2015 C-7 Coupe does not have a hatch pull down. I also believe the 2016 does. I think I read an article that the 2015, and maybe the 2014, have a different technology to relieve cabin air pressure when closing the hatch. That makes it easier to close the hatch. Can't remember...

    C-7 Push Button Srart. Key FOB

    I was watching Jay Lenos Garage, Pebble Beach. Jay puts the key FOB into the steering column, maybe the dash, then pushes the push button on the dash to start the car. Is this something new. On a C-6 it was only necessary that the FOB was nearby, proximity. If this is a change for the C-7...

    1953 Corvette, open or closed driveshaft?

    I'm pretty sure a 1953 Chevy passenger car had a closed driveshaft or torque tube. I believe a 1953 Corvette had an open driveshaft. I believe the engines and rears on both passenger car and Corvette were pretty similar. Why didn't Chevy use the torque tube on the Corvette? Were the open...

    Question: Side curtains, 1953 Corvette

    From outside the car, how do you open the door, drivers or passanger, on a 1953 Corvette? I have seen photos where it appears there is no handle/button on the outside of the door and other photos where it appears there is a small round button. Also, can the doors on a '53 be locked. If so...

    Question: Antenna on '97, '98 & '99

    Talking with a fellow Corvette friend. He ask me why the antenna on the '97 is in the windshield? On the '98 convertible it is a power antenna and on the '99 Fixed Roof Coupe it is a fixed mast antenna. Why the difference? I don't know. Any help? Thanks! Tom

    Question: Follow Ordered Vette On-line

    I believe I remember reading some time ago that a new Corvette order can be followed on-line if you have the order number. Once you have the order number, how do you do that? Thanks!

    Before the 2009's came out, I heard some talk of Direct Injection for MY 2009. I don't think it happened. Anybody have any info. on that? Also, any news of Remote Start being available on new (2010) Corvettes? One other luxury item getting more common today, Ventilated or Cooled Seats. Any...

    Noise From Rear Of Car

    I have a 2006 Coupe Automatic with 4K miles. When I put the car in the garage [backing up or going foward with the wheels turned] I hear a clunking sound coming from the rear of the car. My guess is the limitd slip differential locking and releasing. Should I take it to the dealer? Thanks! Tom

    Squeak in exhaust

    I have a 2003 Conv. with 17000 miles. Recently, I've heard a squeak that sounds like it is coming from the exhaust. It happens over small bumps. I tried hitting the muffler with my hand; I can make it make that same squeak. So it seems that something in the exhaust system squeaks when it is...
