Having owned C5 and C6 convertibles which have been stored for the winter, I have become accustomed to using a trickle charger directly connected to the battery for many years. The rest of the car has been disconnected and only the trickle charger has been connected to the battery. The new C7...

Ok, these may be a silly questions, but here it goes: I'm looking at a new C6 and I'm debating between a six speed automatic and a six speed manual. My current Vette (an '80 that I'm keeping) is an automatic. It's fun to drive and the two that I've owned have been automatics. The use will be...

i know corvette boot space is limited to a golf bag etc, but... just thinking about those trips out of town and wondering if this item would fit in the back......??? http://www.caroholic.com/62_centaur.htm regards

Hi folks Need a little advice. Just retired this year, and I feel the pull to buy a vette. Thinking about a C5, maybe a Z06. Owned a '65 way back in the early 70's. Wonderful car that was stolen and totalled. Never got it out of my system. So perhaps it's time to try again. But here is the...

Lesson on how we get brain softened by our cars. Years ago my daughter said, "Dad, I love my car." I was hard-hearted and told her that loving a car was nonsense. After all, it's just iron and paint. Don't ever fall in love with a car! Our Chevy dealer keeps everything in a database and...

Chevy says use Mobil 1 Synthetic in the C5's. Is there something alternative that can be used? -akak

Hi Just wanted to get some opinions on which of these would be better in the long run. I'm planning on keeping and driving it for a while - probably years.Would the C4 be better because of the lower mileage, or would the newer C5 hold up well, since it won't be long before it turns over 100. Are...

All, I have a 1992 Corvette Vin P 350 automatic and it has me stumped. Nothing has changed on the way it runs and I have replaced the following. New Opti Spark (TWICE) new GM Unit. New Coil, New Module, New Fuel Pump, New Injectors, New Plugs (Double Platinum) Factory, New plug wires, removed...

I upgraded from a C5 Corvette convertible to a new C6 convertible, and find the improvements to be mostly positive, but with one major exception. The exhaust sound of my prior convertible had a wonderful mellow, gutsy sound, very much like what you would expect from a sports car. The newer C6 is...

Was just curious if other C5 Corvette owners could share with me how much they pay yearly for Insurance on their vettes. Also wanted to know the best place to buy an extended warranty for a C5 after the factory/dealer warranty runs out....apart from the GM warranty. I recently went to Great...

So whats your BEST modification you feel has enhanced your vette for the money you spent! Help us all out!!Thanks!!!!!

American Collectors Insurance, does anyone have a good or bad feeling about their worth. I was quoted a price of about 25% of what my insurance company is charging me now for my 1972. Very nearly the same coverage, based out of Cherry Hill NJ, the NJ is almost enough to scare me off. ;-] Yes, I'm...

Does any know where I can find pictures of this car? It was a white C5 with the front end and tail section of a '57 Corvette. I can not seem to locate it anymore as I stumbled across it last year. I can not seem to find the correct combination of words to use in the search box. Thank you.

Hi Anyone can recomend a good wax for Corvettes. I want to keep the original paint in top shape. Thanks.. Dan 89 Coupe Blk on Blk.

I need my AC recharged on my 1980. Do I switch over to the new stuff. Or try like hell to find someone to put the original r-12 back into the system. Heard their is an oil incompatibility issue by putting the new stuff in an old system even if it has been vacuumed out? Thanks John Naples, FL

I droppped my C6 spot and purchased a C5 built on 6/21. I've put the Corsa Indy Pace Tigersharks on it, so far. Coupe. I'd like to increase the horsepower to the C6 numbers, and I am told this can be done with a Nightwing, or other front air induction change with K&N and a "chip" for the...

The wheels on my 86 are 16 inch and tires are 255 50. If I bought the 17 inch ZR1 wheels, what size tires would I need to keep the speedometer accurate? And will these ZR1 wheels even work on the 86 model without rubbing the body or frame? Thank You R L Prince
