Talked to the wife and she let me get my new toy and X-mas present.  She said maybey I won't buy/spend as mush time with the slot "sheet" then.  I said that is not going to happen-- :60-.  She gave me the "approval" anyway to pacify my mid-life crisis I am going thru-- :279-.  I once was about 10-12 years ago in the buy/sell of these and had over 30 plus(Vettes) and was deeply in the mustang business -have had over 600 of those with a picture of every one of them.  Anyway I am not in those business's anymore and this is just my toy to enjoy.  Thought I would share-B.

 :279- :279-   wow  a Ford mechanic pay is real gooood      :244-

Nice toy.   :136- :105-

Anthony,  I had to save a few aluminum cans for this one- Nothing to do with being a Ford Power Stroke senior Master Tech.  Thanks B.

I guess it paid off to sell that tractor trailer load of parts! Hope you enjoy. :56- :148- :56- :148- :56- :148- :56- :148- :56- :148- :56- :148- :56- I bet that killed the slot fund!

Nice vettes  :3- :244-.  I am more into Harleys, my only cage is a 98 Dodge Ram 3500 Dually with a V10 that we did a little engine work to.  Would love to take on a Vette one day, if I lose you can always load the vette in the back and take both vehicles home.  :208-

xkey.. I too have a Harley and a Dodge truck... small world.

Great Vette.... I get one when I cant ride the bike anymore :)

You'll be like me. Got to old & stiff in joints to ride my Harley. Now I'm to stiff to get into a Vette.

barry you should put a borla exaust system on it it sounds and runs way better then the factory exaust :89- :89- :89-.......

Very nice cars!

I have a 2000 grand prix -  if that counts ?

That's what I had on mine. It has a great sound at lower RPM, but to tell the truth, the Corsas sounded better at higher RPMs. Another member of our Corvette club and I tried them out side by side. If I had it to do over, I'd have bought the Corsas. On the other hand, my car was instantly recognizable in the group, because I was the only member with Borlas. Several members commented once that they knew I was arriving while my car was still down the block. :72-

In either case, they do add horsepower, but I also used a Predator programmer to add a performance tune and a larger air intake with smoother airflow, so I don't know how much extra HP came from the exhaust and how much came from the tune and intake. I also chose to override some of the default settings in the Predator and enrich the fuel and advance the timing just a bit more at both the mid and upper ranges of RPMs.

My C5 (default 350hp) Dynoed out at 420hp on all three pulls, using the type of Dyno that connects directly to the rear wheels (they remove the tires). CRS prevents me from remembering the name of the Dyno machine.  :25-  I thought that was pretty impressive, considering that I didn't pay for a customized performance tune from a shop and chose to go with the "one size fits all" Predator tune.

The LS1, LS2, and LS7 engines really have a lot more power than Chevy delivers from the factory, so it's easy to get a lot of extra horsepower with just a few modifications.

Another suggestion: get rid of the run flats. I debated between the Michelins and the Goodyear GS-D3's and went with the Goodyears, mostly because they had a bad-a** tread that looked very cool, IMO.  :133-

The GS-D3's were not only much less expensive ($1100 for a set on the C5 compared with $1900 for the default Goodyear Eagle F1 run-flats), they were rated for wet and dry weather, ran much quieter than the stock tires, and were MUCH stickier when cornering. I really noticed an improvement in the car's performance when I put them on. :71-

Barry, you'd have to do your own research for the C6 equivalents. :79-



<ADD> Here's a picture of the tires and exhaust.

 getting off topic a little im having a major battery drainage on my c6... i let it sit for a week and battery dies every time....i cant figure out what drains it..this is my second battery....some one told me to try using a battery disconect switch so when it sits a while just disconect the battery but is that good for the car?....

I had one that would do the same thing. The guy had a remote start installed. Disconnected remote start & no more problem.
Did not get into it to see why it drained battery.

my guess could be that key mode option that if everytime you walk buy the car it senses keys and its trying to match a code witch im thinkin its draining the battery.... cuz on mine i walk up to it and the keys are in my pocket and the doors unlock.....i wanna bring it to the dealer but i no they will charge me a arm and a leg lol.....

Here's my 2003 Anniversary model. I still cant get chicks.

I feel like an outcast because I don't have a Vette. Do all of you have one?

lol  will all chip in and get you one too :72-....... it pays not getting married hahaha.....

Can you stick 2 slot machines in a Corvette?   :5-  :96-  :200-  :72-

That's why I have a Chev Venture.

speaking of slots i was at the casino the other night i was sitting next to a guy he was playing $5 poker machine  betting like $25 per hand.... he hits a $1200 jackpot then he decides to play bet max $150 a pop within a few hands he hits a royal flush i  couldnt believe what it paid 120k..... i swear im playing the wrong machines :30- :30-.......

Why is it that the machine next to you is always the one that hits big one.

i dont no but i think im gonna stop playing the wof and start playing poker machines i think you have better odds of hitting bigger jackpots on poker machines..... heres me pissing away 1000 bucks on $5 wof's to win zip......

I used to have a Vette, but it got me more tickets than girls.  :68- :283-

I had a few wives and still got a Vette............!

Just replaced my 740i that got totaled 2 years ago... Hopefully my license point count stays low. :200-

Sweet looking toy! You deserve it!

Mom asked why you and Linda were not at the BBQ this year! Don't worry, she still said to say hi to you guys!

CH :95-

Thanks, Mark! I've been shopping for the right one for a month now, finally found it. :209-

Unfortunately I had to hang around town for work, They owe me big time now!!! :187-

You'll have to get away from home if you want to open it up, though -- nowhere to do it nearby. :72- :72- Come on out to the middle of the desert. We've got lots of roads that cops leave alone...  :100- :129- :129- (Who said that? Someone's hijacking my post!  :97-)
