It's near 100hp and while that doesn't sound like much its got torque out the wahzoo! 18 forward speeds and 3 reverse! It's a TRIP!

^^ It’s a crazy thing, but many machines like this aren’t horsepower monsters like you’d think.
They keep them lowered powered and let hydraulics and reduction do the ...

You can use the individual foot brakes to steer that 580 when doing
a wheelie! Extend that hoe a bit and try it!

If you look close enough, you’ll see a complete aluminum block 427
in the BASEMENT.

This was a good call purchase! I struggle to see how you can lose money
if you want to sell, and it’s cool that you could actually buy your dream
car. I LOVE the fuel door on these cars!

Welcome to the crew, Jonathan! ( I’ve known this man since the 90’s. ) Best of luck
with your new truck! Good choice over a new one!

41,000 …. With the threat of a snow storm on Monday, I figured it was just about time to
call it a season. After doing a bit of internet research, the recommended way to store your
C6 ( same for C4 & C5 ) is at 1/4 tank. ( This is done in an attempt to keep the contacts on
the fuel sending unit dry ...

I’m not certain what the configuration of the pads is, but I’ve always used a grinder
to open the slot on the pads to add a bit of slop to the action. I’ve done this ever since
I had a squeaky set and the grinding cured the issue. Just a thought.

GM Johnny says that I need to update my time and ET to 11.844 @ 113.2......so he can beat it.

Which he will!!!


With no performance upgrades on the horizon, my only hope for catching you
is better weather ( tough to beat the other night! ) and floor mat removal!
That’s not necessarily a very ...

Admin: can my Vette get added?

GM Johnny - 2008 Vette 11.991 @ 118.13 - 1.83 60 ft. - Street (1/8 mile 7.82 @ 92.51)

Thanks!

I had no plans for taking the Vette to the track until BP egged me on by telling me his Vette would be faster than me. The weather was right yesterday, so I decided to get my helmet out of storage and head to the track. I haven’t really played around with this car (burnouts/high speed), so I was in ...

After reading this, I’m amazed at the engineering that went into the IRS on
your Jag. It seems a bit over complicated to me, but the majority of the cars
that I’ve worked on are very basic- almost tractor-like so anything different
seems complex. The struts don’t look too horrible to remove from ...

The bolts are strictly box wrench access with maybe a quarter turn at a time.

Do yourself a favor in life and buy some GearWrench wrenches. I bought a metric
and a standard set ( like 12 of each ) and I use them more than i use my ratchets
and sockets. Well worth the $$$.

38,628 … So, the C6 Corvettes have many issues that are well known. Let’s face it, this car is already 17 years old! One of the well known issues is the harmonic damper failure. My car still had the factory damper on it (still in good shape and not wobbling) but, I opted to get it replaced as a ...

I’m a non-factor. My Vette will be in the shop next week.

38,516 …I’ve only managed to put a little over 1,000 miles on this car. With as horrible as the weather has been since I’ve owned it, it’s not hard to believe. I did do a small project a few weeks back that I didn’t post about - the rear hatch button didn’t work when I got it. It took about an hour ...
