Just installed a Corvette Skip Shift Eliminator this week onto the 6 Speed Manual Transmission on my C5 Coupe. Have to say what a difference. To those not aware of the situation GM installed a 1st to 4th gear set up computer controlled making it hard to shift into 2nd gear during a certain RPM the C5's com...

Still a new owner of my C5 since last August 2010 I finally got to take it out in some nice weather on Sunday May 1st for a nice drive about 60-70 miles round trip. Again I am amazed by this car. Night and day difference over both the C2 and C3 that I still own. Not afraid to basically go anywhere with this car...

Just curious to know what others here think about the TCS System (Traction Control System)? Do you drive with it on all the time or just for certain driving conditions such as wet roads. Still being new to my C5 and now driving it again after a long Winter nap I am curious to know a little more. Heck I have to...

Saturday morning. First time I've ever drove a car off the dang road. Senior moment. I clicked TC off and in 2nd gear kicked it and it shot across the road and I hit a fence post dead center. Had the top down and dust and dirt filled the car. Lucky there were no curbs on this country road and the sides were lev...

My Good Year run flats on my '99 kicked my behind late Friday afternoon. Wanted to change my stock powdered coated early C5 mags out for a set of chrome Thinspoke wheels that I purchased. I own a later model rim clamp tire machine in my home shop not the older style tire machine as I once had years back. Used...

Gene Culley from GM Parts House Dot Com did me a big favor this weekend. Gave him the Vin Number to my C-5 and he was able to track everything that was ever done to my car. Hope I am reading it correctly being it looks like the car went into the dealer twice for the Column Lock Recall and apparently GM took care...

Just wondering how many of you are running a Optima Battery under the hood of your C-5 or C-6? I have a Optima Red Top Battery in my C-5 that was just installed before I purchased the car. I am starting to learn more about this type of battery and all that I have read is not that great I feel. I have to say I am c...

For you C-5 guys that change out your own oil I see that Walmart has rolled back their price on a 5 quart container of Mobil 1 5/30 Syntec the recommended oil for your C-5. The price is only $21 for a 5 quart container which is only $4.20 a quart. Can't buy it anywhere that cheap. They sell it by the quart for...

Being I am still new to my C-5 I was just wondering if any other C-5 owners on this forum had the Steering Lock recall done on their car over the years? I have no idea if it was ever done on mine. I haven't had any problem as of yet but I have the feeling that it can happen at any time and I don't want to get stuck an...

Again new to C-5's. Does anyone on this forum know where the lifting points are on a C-5? I need to know where to place the 4 pads from my above ground lift. Also need to know where to lift my C-5 using a floor jack. Is this info anywhere to be found? I rather be safe then sorry. Thanks for any help here.

Does anyone on this forum have or know of someone who has access to a free Car Fax.

I would like to just do one check on the...

Yes the Viper is gone and thats a good thing. The plug is being pulled. The Viper was always hot inside and out. The driving position was horrible. No head room in the coupe. It got 13mpg city. Cramped interior. Plus it looks like a clown shoe. Long live the Corvette!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I had a C5 I use to clean out the junk that got sucked up to the top of the radiator .A lot of people don't think of it ,but jack the car up ,crawl underneath and look up .First time I did it I found leaves twigs a training bra and all kinds of stuff.

Well now the Mid-America Corvette Fun Fest owner Mike Yeagar wants to charge us Corvette owners 25 dollars to park our corvettes. By the time you add up the cost of a hotel room, gas, food, etc... Plus an extra 25 bucks it gets too expensive. Im staying home this year.
