Couldn't they have made it lighter?

New C8 is smaller (shorter), right? Then why must it weigh 3400 pounds (per GM specs I believe).

Good Driving Roads Out West?

If there's a better place to put this, please let me know.

This Fall I intend to fly out to the Arizona/Colorado/New Mexico/Utah area, rent a car (hopefully Corvette) and do some driving away from...

Boy, is the C7 UGLY!

Can't find anyone I come in contact with who thinks the C7 is an attractive car. General consensus is the rear end is particularly hideous, rest of the car varies from tolerable to overdone. Big...

Thought I would re-post for the weekend. Matt's set was sold before we could really talk. Still looking for a new/newish set, hopefully one I can pick up in the Southeast within reasonable driving...

Will a tune benefit a stock 6sp C5?

When I got my low-mile manual-trans 2003 Coupe in 2008, the general consensus I received from the Forum at that time was that a tune would only add a couple of horsepower, if that, to an unmodified...

I wouldn't put the old heads back on without having a local machine shop look them over. If they have any mileage on them at all, a fresh 3-angle valve job with new seals costs very little at most...

If you are wealthy, or plan to ditch your Mag-ride C7 before the warranty is out, go ahead and get it. But replacing those units due to mileage/wear or failure is not going to be cheap.

Hope he has a garage for it until the winter ebbs and the roads dry.

Careful, Dan--don't want to see that car on "Wrecked Exotics"!

Are repro 64-67 console plates available?

Stupidly sold my terrific '64 Coupe a few years ago but hope to have another 64-67 before I croak. Is the aftermarket reproducing the large "eared" console plate for 4-speed cars and if they are,...

Hoping for a take-off set from a new or very-low-mile Z06. Will pay well north of the average ($400) price for the right set that I can pick up or meet you halfway to get.

Thanks, Ralph Boineau...

Bumping for the new year. I appreciate the responses but am looking for a very low mile take-off, hopefully in the Southeast so I can come pick it up. Happy New Year, Corvette people!

Still looking. Remember, units must be new- or very low mile-takeoffs in like-new condition. Nobody in the SE needs Xmas money? Ho-ho-ho.
