I'm about to buy a 96 firebird 5.7 LT-1. I test drove it today, but it felt kind of rough when in idle, but as soon as I steped on the gas, that thing would spin tires. Is this a normal vibration with big motors? The oil pressure would be at a quarter when idling, then half way or a little...

Hi, I've been lurking in this group for years and have owned an 82 for a while that's in bad shape and doesn't run. My coworker decided to buy a new black vette last week and sold me his Pewter 99 FRC on Saturday. It's so nice to drive and look at! Spending an hour or two washing and waxing it...

Howdy. I looked at a 1998 Corvette today. It has a few issues but it's mostly what I'm looking for. Dealer wants full book retail as "Excellent Condition", of course. Upon inspection, I could tell that it's been wrecked in the front. The damage wasn't too bad but the nose piece has been...

Just bought a '75 Vert, 1 owner w/ 53k miles. Receipts show both rear trailing arms were 'rebuilt' about 8 years ago and car has only gone about 4K miles since. I noticed both sides have a slight 'creaking' sound when I drive beside a building, etc. I can hear the echo. It's cyclic and...

Because we host this newsgroup, through our website <b>V..rroom</b>, we felt the readership of this newsgroup might be interested in the following article... On the C5/C6 Registry Hot News, looks like somebody at Chevrolet is finally listening to Corvette owners and wants to help out...

I'm getting ready to fix up a '80 vette and am struggling with whether I should restore it to stock or go custom. It's a LG4 that runs good but is pretty beat up. Is there a value in restoring a ca smogged 305 cu in vette to original spec?

Regarding the old adage - "The newset is the best to buy" - what about a C5 (2004 specifically) compared to a ZR-1 (1995 specifically). This car would be a driver not a garager. Any opinions? Charles

I've put it off long enough, the paint job that is. If anyone has a suggestion in the LA area it would be appreciated. Also, a while back some joker mentioned that you can't just have any schmoe paint a 'vette due to the glass body. Can anyone validate the differrence between painting a glass...

Thanks to all of you for the information on clock repair for 60 corvette.I've had the car since 1960 and every things works but the clock and now I can get that fixed. Thank you again. Casey

A friend of mine told me that GM does not make money with Corvette sales, but that they continue to make the car just because it's tradition boosts their image or whatever. Is this true? I didn't know GM was in that bad of shape.

Have a 60 corvette but clock finally stopped after 47 years. Does any one know where I can send it for repair? Casey

My neighbor has a 2000 that has lost the programming for the fob and has no owners manual. Can someone tell me how to program this thing? It's different than my '94. Thanks PDeen

Had the CD modual replaced many years back by a place in Phoenix that appears to be out of business. Anyone have a reliable place I can send my Delco unit to for a replacement CD modual and a couple of LEDs? TIA

Just when we were having fun following the Corvette SS we now add 3 more new Corvette models to the chase list. The first verified C7 Corvette info is in and it's very interesting! www.DigitalCorvettes.com We hope you enjoy the site, and thank you for being a member! The DC Staff

Hello Everyone, At 36k miles my '96 needed brakes. Midas is just down the street and I always took my old pickup there for basic repairs and never had a problem. I figured "brakes is brakes" so I took the Corvette there for new front rotors and pads all around. Now at least half the time the...

....so it seems. Was gone for the month of January here in LA and during that time there was a couple of days of freezing temps. When I hopped in the 'ol jalopy in February I had zero power assist on the brakes. After pulling the rebuilt booster, after 2 months of service, the friggin'...

My 1969 vette's steering wheel sometimes doesn't lock when I remove the key. Sometimes I can wiggle the key and the steering wheel will lock. What's generally involved in repairing this mechanism? What's involved in replacing the mechanism? Thanks, Charles
