Why a Corvette Forum Matters
I first went "online" back in '90 when I checked out the free AOL disc I got in the mail. AOL-land was fun for a few years, but in '95 a friend said to me, "You don't need AOL to surf the net." Honestly, I didn't know that back then. A few days later, I said good-bye to AOL and "HOWDY!" to the information superhighway. People that previously had zero interest in PCs flocked to computer stores so they could be on the internet and get e-mail. The Internet really was different back then. Nearly everyone was on dial-up, so web pages and sites were simpler. It was easier to find "information" then because the net hadn't yet been taken over by commerce sites. Forums and chat rooms had been[..]

How To Spot a 1969 Corvette Stingray
type="text/javascript"> Do to the criticism of the 1968 Corvette, Chevrolet worked to resolve those problems for the 1969 model year. Numerous quality control and construction problems were addressed. The door panels were redesigned to increase interior room. Overall fit and finish improved in the '69 model over the '68. In 1969 Chevrolet included a fiber optics system on the center console that enabled the driver to monitor the lights function. The Corvette's engine statistics, including horsepower, torque, displacement and compression ratio were displayed below the shifter. The ignition key moved from its 1968 location on the dash near the upper right corner of the tachometer to the[..]
Z06 Corvette History
History on the Z06 Corvette In 1953 legionary engineer Zora Duntov joins GM, and goes to work on pushing for greater power for the Corvette. At the same time Duntov was always working GM to continue development of parts for Corvettes that would benefit the racing community of Corvette owners. This later launched the name “Z06” which stood for higher performance equipment package. In 1963 the first Z06 Corvette package offered 36.5 gallon gas tanks, vacuum brake booster, dual master cylinder, a 20 percent larger diameter front sway bar, sintered metallic brake linings within power assisted Al-Fin drums that were cooled by front air scoops along with vented backing plates to help[..]
Corvette ZR1 Engine and Transmission
When Chevy reintroduced the Corvette ZR1 in late 2008 it was official that the King of the Hill was coming back in town. In 2009 and again in 2010 the ZR1 was made available for sale and although it costs over $100,000 it is still relatively cheap for everything you get. When the engineers at GM set out to create the new Corvette ZR1 they wanted something that would be powered like never before. What they ended up with was nothing less than an all new supercharged V-8 dubbed the LS9. While the LS9 is indeed supercharged and one of the reasons that the engine is capable of putting out over 600 horsepower, the engine itself would be powerful if it were only used as a standalone. It shares[..]
any classic vehicle finding a source of auto repair parts can be a major concern. So it is with classic Chevrolet Corvette as well as Chevrolet Stingray autos. Corvettes have always had distinctive wheel covers and are a refreshing change from slotted mag wheels. The wood steering wheels add a rich touch if you are lucky to ever find one. Interest has been spread into the 1968 and later models, especially car equipped with the lift out roof panels. In these cars, the excellent General Motors (G.M.) Turbo Hydra-matic transmission was the desired feature. Indeed one of the most valuable vehicle of this group has been the 1970 LT-1 350. Chevrolet itself had offered some good gymkhana[..]

2005 corvette zo6 They're also working on offering a kit for the Lexus IS-F , set to include headers and a modified exhaust system to squeeze more oopmh from the eight-geared oddity. The front calipers are Brembo 6 piston. GM says they save 11 pounds at each corner compared to cast iron rotors. GM's plan for the LS9 included a supercharger, and it felt the 427 cubic-inch block wasn't strong enough to reliably hold up to the intended boost. The chassis, similar to the 2008 Z06, will be made of aluminum. The 2009 Corvette ZR1 starts at $103,300 including $850 destination charges. Chevrolet has been working on a high-end Corvette to slot above the Z06 as GM's hottest sports car for some[..]
