How do the 02 - 04 corvettes handle in snow with traction control? I have '85, auto, prior to traction control. When I used to drive it in snow, it would fish tail if too much gas was applied. Thanks in advance for any experiences. MT

Hi gang! I just got behind the wheel of the new Z06 for the first time and I cannot wipe this silly grin off my face!!! What a machine! I bought a 2001 Z06 when they first came out and I thought that its 385 h.p. was impressive. But it doesn't come near the performance of the Lemans Blue Metallic...

The car was stored for 22 years. Should I replace the brake metal brake lines when I replace the metal fuel lines. Does brake fluid degrade and leave deposits in the lines (as gasoline can)? As there are no visible cracks, holes, etc. in the lines could I just blow them out w/comp. air when they...

Have a 2000 C5 and I have been receiving an intermittent check engine light for a few days now. Went to Autozone where they did a error code diagnostic and found out it was P0401 - Secondary Air Injection System Malfunction. Anybody know how serious this is? Is this something I can take care of or...

Does anyone know if it is possible to build a complete 50's or 60's corvette clone from after-market parts? It seems like most every part for the cars is available through some channel or the other. I would like to build one that has a more modern drive train, body (fiberglass?), suspension(newer...

I have an '80 with the 350. I can't seem to get the oil pan drain plug to completely seal so that it doesn't leak. I've tried 3 different replacement plugs from different manufacturers. I've cleaned the mating surfaces. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Had something strange happen to me today I was pulling out from a parking space and my car just shut off and the DIC said "Pull out key wait 10 Seconds" what the hell is this about??? 98 C5 TIA --

Ok ya all I have a real problem... during the last few months I have had a no start condition. I am not talking about the engine cranks but no start, but rather I turn the key and nothing. I have all lights all power but no engine turnover. I don't even have a clicking from the starter. It...

I've been driving an 89 C4 A4 for over a decade now as a daily driver. Gearing up for a used C6 2005 A4 purchase soon. Either a F55 or Z51 suspension. Were basically talking a 20 leap in technology. What are your driving impressions of the change? What are the most notiicalbe differences? Thanks...

I have heard for some time that the SMART car (75mpg) is coming to the US. Then last week I heard that a dealer in Portland has started a waiting list for the cars. Anybody have any more information??? Bill http://SnowboardSex.com
