Automotives: Corvette Z-06 Goes Out On Top

[Z_OH_6]

Tennessee!! Hal & I had a very nice conversation yesterday at our local cruise with a person from Tennessee. She was here on business and stopped by to check out the cars. Love that accent. :cool

Hope y'all had a nice day today!

WOW! Y'all got that accent down pat! I thought y'all were from around these here parts fer sure! Ha!
Yeah, folks are friendly and we love the 'made-for-Corvettes' twisties in the neighboring mountains but then you West Coasters have some pretty fair twisties of your own. And when the August summer is upon us with temps in the high nineties with matching humidity levels I'll be California dreamin' of your abscence of sticky, sultry air.

I have found the best way to defeat the 1st to 4th is to rev the engine above 2200 rpms before shifting. Do that once anfter every stop and cags is defeated. Beats spending 30 bucks.

Am I the only one who almost never has any issue with the 1 to 4 shift...

Nope. Not an issue for me either thanks to:

$30? Last time I checked, the CAGS Plug Seal Kit only went for $9.99?

About $10 for the C4 kit and $20 for the C5 kit. Maybe since Eckler's has the C5 kit for $22 and then you figure in some amount for shipping it comes closer to $30?

I've seen a few articles that bash the ZO6 with people that say they would not even buy the car because of CAGS. They are just uninformed lol! Damn, I could probably find enough change under my driver's seat to do the mod. Great article, the Z on top!
