    Site Update: Corvette Action Center Celebrates 15 Years

    I am a Ford Mustang enthusiast who is a "closet" Chevrolet Corvette enthusiast :) Thanks for doing what you've done. I visit here and learn a lot. Perhaps someday I will get that long desired Corvette. This site will be the top of my "home group" list. Appreciate it!!

    GM Press Release: Chevrolet Lifts Lid on 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible

    I thought the standard coupe top was body colored, unlike the transparent or carbon fiber roofs. The grey car in the photos appears to have one.

    GM Press Release: Chevrolet Lifts Lid on 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible

    Given the integrated nature of those light shapes with the side vents, I don't think hope would lead to any change, especially this close to the release. Maybe hoping for the 2015 model year would be useful :)

    GM Press Release: Chevrolet Lifts Lid on 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible

    The base coupe appears to have the side and rear vents (see this photo). While the e-Diff isn't in the Z51, one would think the transmission would still be cooled by it in the base car.

    Do you think the C7 Tailights Look like the Camaro Tail Lights ??

    The mascara are vents. I think you would want to keep those around so they exhaust heat.

    Question: Should Corvette Become its own Brand?

    it's an interesting proposition, but I still like the "value for the money" market positioning. It's bragging rights! When Chrysler started the "SRT" brand, I lamented the loss of the DODGE Viper. Each of those SRT cars has styling that links to Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, which adds panache to those...

    Anybody Have Experience w/Continental ContiExtremeContact Tires?

    Thanks for the info, froggy47. This car would be primarily street driven, with the occasional autocross thrown in once in a while. The main criteria is to have reasonable performance and winter drivability in less than 6" of snow accumulation. Fortunately, it does not snow too much here in...

    Anybody Have Experience w/Continental ContiExtremeContact Tires?

    Hi, froggy47! I have spent quite a bit of time looking at the reviews. Some of them are not too flattering regarding the tire, while others are. Some folks are reporting problems with them being in the round properly, as well as being more prone to flat spotting. If anyone on this forum has...

    Anybody Have Experience w/Continental ContiExtremeContact Tires?

    I am thinking of purchasing a used 2000 coupe that will need to have its OEM EMT tires replaced. I am looking for non-EMTs that are "all-season", as I would like to drive in the snow (6 inches or less). For the stock wheel sizes, Continental makes the ContiExtremeContact tires. Has anyone...

    EXPERIENCES WANTED: Driving a C5 Corvette in Winter Conditions

    Thank you again for the comments and experiences, particularly the magic number of '4'. That's probably the most I would attempt to drive in with the car, based previous snow driving in Chicago and downstate Illinois. The winters here in Cincinnati, OH, are less brutal. It's great to hear that...

    EXPERIENCES WANTED: Driving a C5 Corvette in Winter Conditions

    Thanks to all of you who've shared so far. The behavior that you each describe would be what I would expect. Also, I too worry about the other folks who seem to not tackle the winter driving conditions in the same way and get themselves into trouble. In my experiences driving on other Goodyear...

    EXPERIENCES WANTED: Driving a C5 Corvette in Winter Conditions

    Forgive me if this sounds like heresy, but I want to hear about how those who drive their Vettes in snow and slush manage to do. Specifically, I am looking for information on the following - a) traction with stock EMTs vs. winter tires b) largest snow depth in which you've been able to drive c)...
