properly (fan and coolant).  It appears that one of my vacuum lines are

They'll lie and tell people that Corvettes get 28 MPG, when the truth
is that the C6 ZO6 gets 24 MPG, the C6 Auto Coupe gets 25 mpg, and the
C6 Manual gets 26 MPG.

I am in the market for my first Corvette. I have read a few books,
done some internet research, and have some Corvette experience from my
brother's ownership. (My brother has owned C3, C4, and C5 Corvettes
from 1979 through 1997 at various times. He now perfers his LT1 C4,

Took my 77 to an alignment shop today and the tech pointed out a small

I was in an auto parts store and in conversation, the gel batteries
came up.  Unfortunately I could buy a regular 36mos/84mos. battery for
$85 (w/core) and the same gel was $200 (I guess with core also).
Anyway around where I am, the average battery is good for 3 to 4 years

I have a 90 Corvette convertible in which the previous owner replaced
the Bose head system with a Pioneer CD/radio. The speakers are all the

As badly as the GTR crushed the ZO6 in 0-60, 1/4 mile, and at the
Nurburg ring and the GTR Spec-V crushed the ZR1 at the ring as well,
the BASE 552 bhp Lexus L-FA even crushed the ZR1 worse than that. The
GTR spec V only beat the ZR1 by about 16 seconds, while the LF-A beat

I'd like to blackout my exhaust fascia on my white 99 C5 FRC.
Is it possible to do an acceptable job myself or is a kit like the one
