Hi everyone...I am from Regina, Sk. and I presently have a 1996 CE Convertible. It has the LT4 and 6-speed. Light Grey Interior,Active Suspension,hardtop,both seats fully powered and pretty much every option availible except the spare tire delete option. This is a great car to drive and lots of fun with the top down. I have a set of Nitto555 tires and they work great. I installed a set of Hooker Ceramic Headers with MagnaFlow Mufflers. The sound is much better than stock as a Corvette needs a little rumble. This is a great site for Corvette enthusiasts and alot of good information is also available here.

Hi, Rick!

Welcome to the Glad you found us! I think you'll find CAC is a great resource for Corvette owners of any generation 'Vette.

You know, you aren't alone here either- we have a rather sizeable Canadian membership.

Hi everyone

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone...I enjoy the site..lots of good information here..I can hardly wait until the snow goes and I can get the car out from under all the blankets...not to worry as I keep the garage heated so the car doesn't get to cold...:L..not to many '96 CE vert's around here...I had to sell a very nice '77 to get this one...sure hated to see it go but this new one is a great car...still love the C3's... and yeah Crowvet Rockglen isn't to far away...probably not to many Corvettes in that town but if you know of any get them to have a look at www.reginacorvetteclub.com and have them give us a call...

Welcome aboard, Rick! I spent 6 months in Regina a few years back... Any guesses what would bring a guy originally from back east to Regina for six months before getting shipped out west?

Welcome to CAC, Rick!

You have probably purchased the BEST Vette anyone could ever own! Wonder why I say that........? otfl

Did you install the shorty or long headers? Did you do the install yourself or did you have professional help?

You are so right about the sound of the OEM LT4. GM left a lot to be desired.

I installed a set of Hooker ceramic long tube's on the car...Magnaflow mufflers with the stock resonator retained...If your going to the trouble of headers might as well make them long tube for the added torque and performance...I let someone else install them as I have installed too many sets of headers in the past to do this install...a few issues with O2 sensors and also disabled the air pump, installed a cooler thermostat and had the fans come on sooner...a seasonal car and I didn't need the extra heat...replaced the Mass Air meter as the fuel air ratio was very lean...16.5:1 ..finially got it down to 12:5 or so to 1...needed an extra O2 sensor bung installed in the passenger side header as the set only came with 1 bung....the back 2 sensors were disabled as I removed the cats as well...sounds great now...just a vette should...and a whole lot more throttle response...worth every penny...and I have to agree on the LT4/6speed package as I also think it is the BEST vette out there $ for $...
