Thanks for all the info on slotted/drilled brakes! I take delivery of
my '05 in about 2 weeks and am curious regarding ideas/advice about
"braking-in" new brakes. I've heard that the manual recommends no heavy
brake usage during the initial break-in period for the car. I'm ...

I'm looking to buy my first Corvette. Its been 55 years and I'm ready. Today
I took a '94 for the third test drive. During the first, the handling was
exceptionally sloppy. Turns out the right rear tire was substantially
underinflated. Test drive #2 was with repaired tire in light ...

Sorry, this is not my '69 Corvette with problem, but:
Recently my roomates  95 V8 Camaro  failed smog ($69) with high emissions,
last year it was overhauled in shop.
Visual/Functional checks             passed

For the Tampa Bay area readers: do you have any experience with body
shops in the area (Tampa, St. Pete, Clearwater) for minor fiberglass
repair. The tip of my C3's nose got scraped up and I'm not sure who to
take it to.

   I'm upgrading the brakes and rotors. Are there any significant
differences between slotted and drilled rotors? I suspect performance is the
same, but I haven't found any information stating one way or the other.

something. But I know my virtual friends here in the vette group will
help me!
My 1992 LT1 corvete coupe takes about 5 or 6 seconds every morning to

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 ...

We have a 1978  corvette that we are replacing the rear wheel bearings.. The
question is : on the spindle shaft there is a ridge that the bearing should
pass over,is there a shim or spacer  that goes between them? My haynes book
does not show the ridge.

Hi I use an LRC10 laser jammer ( Ido not know if you have this model in the
US ), it needs to be placed as near to the front number plate, as possible
as this is where the police aim their radar guns.
On my newly acquired 2001 corvette it all seams to be one piece at the nose

I'm in the process of tire shopping & I came across a set of Pirelli's but
they don't make 275/40/17. They have them in 285/40/17 instead. I checked
the difference in calculations and it gives about 1.5 %. I was wondering if
this would be fine, or if any one of you's already did ...

The same dealer that put a small hole in my rocker panel is going to replace
my speakers.
I'd rather not even let them see my car again, but they have to fix the
rocker and at same time they are going to replace two blown/crackly

Subject: YOU A DEMOCRAT? OR REPUBLICAN?
"You a Democrat or Republican?" asked the old man.
"Republican," I replied.
 "Well, you can just go to Hell," yelled the old man as he sped off.

Last week I pulled into my garage and turned off my '87 coupe.  The power
antenae motor was running, trying to put the antenae back down, but it was
not going down.   I gave it a push, it went down, and the motor quit
running.  I forgot about it until yesterday, when I started the ...
