Good or great MPG like 30 MPG! The horsepower is great but we can't forget these are driving machines, i would hate to see them only in musuems because we can't afford to drive them. My 2003 Coupe still gets 27 MPG at 65 MPH down the road. I enjoy driving it and would gladly buy another one...

I look forward to a retro-vette! I think that it should have new badging, not a remade C-6 but a new badge to reflect a new Vette. If it is a new Vette, i will be selling my 2003 Black/Black coupe. But if it isn't a new, i will be sticking with my almost new Vette! -Ed

NCM Expansion Does anyone know how much has been raised so far? How about the grant that the City of Bowling Green applied for to help with the cost? I visited the NCM on 13 June 2003 to pick up a Black/Black Coupe which we call "Maria".

Well, did you get it? I had a time with mine too. You will be glad when it is installed, it looks great. Did you get the dead pedal too? I installed both, they are great additions to my all black vert. Don't forget to wave, -Ed

Congrats! My 03' Vert is my first but i have loved Vettes since i can remember. I think that the hardest thing about owning a C-5 is finding the right dealer to handle warranty work. I used to live in Delaware and was a member of the 1st State Corvette Club (an awesome organization). I had a...

The oil filter is just a bit aft of the plug. You will need an oil filter socket to get it off. It is on there really tight but it will come off with a little effort. When you remove the filter there will be a fair amount of oil (hot oil) that will come out as soon as you loosen it. Be...

I have used Zaino Brothers exclusively since i bought my her this last summer. My Vette is black and you have to be very careful what you use on a black finish. I use carnuba on the polished wheels. She is garaged under cover if i am not driving her (due to foul weather) and i use a duster...

An old painters trick... apply petrolum jelly to the part that you don't want painted. Then when your paint is dry, wipe away the jelly. Don't forget to wave!:Steer

I have the RINO ramps and to get over the approach angle use some left over or new pieces of 1 X 4 wood scraps. Place the pieces (2) in front of each ramp, both flat ont the floor and perpendicular to the ramps. Your front air dam will still make contact but there should be no damage. I have...

Just in case you don't know... go to Pep Boys for good ramps that will acomidate the low front end of the C-5 Vette. The ramps are made by "RINO" and cost about $20. I use them along with a few pieces of appoach 1 X 2's to ease the angle up on to the ramps. Use a couple of 2 X 4's cut to...

This is really wierd because like you said this light comes on at times when the machine is not being stressed or needed. Can someone in the know comment on this, Thanks:Steer

Warm up complete Me too, i get the light every once in a while. I can be just driving thru town...taking it easy and on comes the light... WARMING UP then WARM UP COMPLETE. Does anyone have the answer why this system does this for no real apparent reason. I posted this thread a few months...

I am glad to see folks talking about this topic, thanks Rob for bringing it up. I cringe at the thought of taking any of my vehicles to a dealer because the just don't care. I hoped that the Corvette would be different, i was wrong! I went to a local dealer in Dover, Delaware and asked to...

I am surprised that no one listed the up graded brakes. All C-5s that are bought or exported to Europe have Z06 brakes installed as they come down the assembly line at BG. Saw this first hand.:Steer

My max temp has been 220 with the air on in light traffic in NE 90 degree temps. Oil temp max... 209 degrees and the vette has been running like a top. Max speed attained to date 137 MPH with just over 2,300 miles on her so far.:Steer

What happened to 2003? I am being bias but com'on 50th annivesary and the AE... hello does anyone else agree? Thanks:Steer

I have a low grumbling noise coming from ther rear end when i start out but i have an auto... i know but i like to sit back and drive or should i say ride. Has anyone heard this low rumble on an outomatic. From a dead start (hot and cold) just for a few seconds or less. Oh; yeah today she...

Can you tell me... besides the small increase in price... what changed? Oh' by the way congrats and don't forget to wave!:Steer

Sounds about right since they started building the 2004s around the first week of July. After they are assembled and ran through numerous tests they sit on the BG assembly plant grounds for two weeks in case any parts are recalled by vendors. Then they can be shipped to your dealer. Go check...

I haven't bought this product but... i did buy some paint saving, clear protective shield from www.griotsgarage.com. You buy it by the foot so there is little waste and you get an excellent product that is easy to install and is invisible to everyone but you. If you don't get this guys...
