    Really like the blue, picking up a new ride later this year and the 2014 is really looking like the car to get.

    Video: 2014 Corvette - It's All in the Calibration

    2014 Corvette I like the stance of the car as mentioned by others and the instrument cluster looks real nice. I watched 5th Gear last night and one of the cars test driven was a new Grand Sport - he didn't care for too much inside the car. Unfortunately I had to agree with most of his...

    Show Us Your Tires & Wheels

    I'll be in the market for new wheels/tires say around May/June. I'm stuck between the New C6 Z06 Chrome or the C6 Black (18-f & 19-r) on my C5 Torch Red Coupe. I actually talked to a company in California concerning the C6 Z06 wheels painted Torch Red with a machined lip. My little problem is...

    BORLA XR-1, BORLA STINGERS, or SLP LOUDMOUTH???

    The Borla's are nice but I went with the B&B PRT Tri-Flow with the elliptical tips, new cross pipe and B&B Tri-Flow headers. I kept the same cat's as the high flow made it a little too loud. It sounds mean when you put your foot into it and purrs like a tiger at 85. The high flows may go on at...

    2005 Precision Red Convertible For Sale

    I'll keep you in mind as I went and looked at your cars on the webpage. Nice cars and the prices are very resonable. I almost picked up a 2005 Yellow Coupe about 3 weeks ago, but I couldn't part with the Torch Red 01, plus they were asking to much for the car:L . They were asking almost what a...

    Put It Away for the Winter??

    I bought my C5 last March from a guy in northern VA. He didn't take care of the wheels and all four have tremendous pitting damage to them from the salt on the road. They are going to be resurfaced this fall, but the salt can do some damage to your car. I've had to go and sand and recoat pieces...

    C5 - Kumho Tires

    I used G2 Red Caliper paint and I was just given a set of Z06 calipers. I haven't put them on yet and I may just hold on to them. It took a little time to clean the calipers and paint, but worth the time and effort. Sorry about tires, I'm running the Michelin Sport Pilot ZP and really like...

    Front Plate used?

    I run mine both ways. On a trip up to Baltimore a VSP pulled over 8 corvettes in our group and gave everyone a ticket for no front plate. Paid the $50 fine and put the front plate on, for about two months. It's off again and I'm happy with that, until I get another ticket and my wife laughs...

    Post a photo of your C5

    There are so many beautiful corvettes on these pages, keep them coming as I'm checking back every day. I really like the Light Carmine Red Metallic:) , it's almost the same color as my wife's 2004 Z71 Tahoe (Sport Mettalic Red).

    1st time i knew.....

    When I was 6 and riding in my dads 69 Impala SS. He talked of the Corvette Club in Richmond and the corvette in general. My first model was of a 63 split window and I've been in love with that car ever since. My first wife didn't like corvettes, so I divorced her and bought my first vet. A...

    OK - This is even just a bit to much Yellow for me......

    I agree with a little too much yellow. I just went and drove a C6 yellow and trying to talk my wife into me buying it. I'd replace the checked pattern in the seats with black and do something with the floormats. Yellow is a really nice color, but it is a little too much for me.

    Post a photo of your C5

    We call her "Raven's Ride" after my 2 yo daughter. She has had a few mods done to her over the past year (entire exahust system, calipers, underhood and interior). Everytime I walk out into the garage with my daughter it's "red car daddy". I'm trying to get her to say corvette and it comes...

    C6 Didn't Wave

    I've noticed more and more C6 guys not waving. I was sitting at a light in Richmond just this week and a C6 pulled up beside me. I looked over at the guy (mid 50's) and I waved. He looked at me and then just pulled away from the light when it turned green. I laughed and blew by him at 45 mph....

    zo6 exhaust on ls1

    My son listened to both systems and he too liked the Corsa. So I'll take a little advice and wait and get the exhaust I want and not one that I'm not going to be happy with.
