    Any one out there paint their own car

    Flat-black Corvette Z06 on Flickr - Photo Sharing! I always thought this was a cool idea - but maybe the green would work too!

    Chevrolet will offer the 2010 in 6 models:

    I'd like to see the return of the FRC Z06!

    ...and the C5 comes to life...

    Ha Ha! :rofl: I gues it's just one of those things that a Canuck would notice unlike folks from warmer climates... just like one time I was schlepping around in the minivan doing some errands on a sunny early spring day. Musing about how the mini van wasn't so bad - it's comfortable...

    How to Program a FOB for a C6

    C5 Fob learning: 1. Turn the ignition key to ON. 2. Clear any warning messages on the Driver Information Center (DIC) by pressing the RESET button. 3. Press the OPTIONS button on the DIC several times until the blank page is displayed, then press and hold the RESET button for two seconds...

    ...and the C5 comes to life...

    The winter months have passed, you walk out to your car and press the unlock button on your fob. a decisive clunk as the locks thunk open. Nestle into the cool leather. You remember but don't know why - to put the key half way into the ignition. Pull on the seat belt. Stick the key all the way...

    B&B route 66 exhaust

    I don't know about C6s - but on a C5 I have heard that with an AT you have to cut the old exhaust off - on the 6 speeds they just unbolt... I thought that C6 owners could just get that key fob to open up the flappers on the stock exhaust... Route 66's sound awesome!

    lowered c5's?

    :agree: I have to go over about a half dozen speed bumps every day in the parking lot @ work - and even after a couple of years of this the air dam hasn't worn down enough for this to stop...There's no way I would lower mine because I like to be able to drive the thing!

    It started with a knock in the engine...

    Here it is - I can't take credit for it as it comes from a US forum: The IPC display, the 20-character, vacuum florescent screen above the steering column that says "Corvette by Chevrolet" every time you turn on the key is a powerful device. DIY Service Techs are going to be most...

    C5 Headlights!

    I bought some of those Nighthawks a couple of years ago, and the night vision went from really crappy to just plain crappy. HIDs are probably the way to go, but I'm waiting it out for a deal on some kind of projectors that don't look awful - in the meantime at night I drive with my fogs on all...

    It started with a knock in the engine...

    Out here we call them "stealerships". I would have a look at your codes and see what you've got, I'd pretty much bet my morning donut that something was overlooked during reassembly - if you need a list of what the codes mean, I can get those posted here...

    2009 zr1

    :agree: They look like someone took a C5, backed it into a brick wall at speed (sorry c6 guys!), stuck a bunch of scoops and stuff on it, then gave it a paint job... I guess that brute HP trumps everything, but I'm waiting to see what a C7 will be like before I go making any changes... it will...
