    Testimonial Thread

    Just wanted to give my public thanks to Scott for all of his help. When I was having issues with one well known dealer, and Scott became aware, he reached out me and put me personally in touch with Tracy Wilks and the guys at Brian Cullen. From there things took a dramatic turn for the better...

    Looking for the best z51 brake pads

    Any high quality ceramic pad will be lower dust, and should be perfectly adequate for spirited street use. I personally haven't used any of these, but they all seem to be well reviewed, and from reputable brands: Hawk PC G-Loc GS-1 Carbotech 1521 EBC Redstuff Powerstop also has pads for the...

    Daytime running light recall is holding up delivery of my corvette

    Seems there have been several recalls in Canada on GM vehicles in the past couple of years for similar issues with daytime running lights. Hopefully it's a well understood issue at GM, and just a question of implementing a known fix...

    PPF or naked?

    It's not the discolouring of the PPF that is the problem. That can be fixed by replacing the PPF, and I think newer PPF largely resists yellowing. The UV fades the uncovered paint slightly over time, and you get body panels that are no longer the same colour. Body shops have multiple paint chips...

    Mag Ride vs. No Mag Ride

    Mr.Corvette and I have been conversing privately about this, and I might be able to give a few insights. I am a mechanical engineer with motorsport, suspension design and setup experience. If anyone wants my background feel free to PM me. I do not have experience working on semi-active MR...

    Z06 OFFICIAL LIST of who is on the list? who is staying? who is dropping?

    Staying on the list!! It will be interesting to see how the lists shrink moving forward. Many are on multiple lists, and I was talking to one dealer who pared their lists down significantly by asking for a $5k deposit to stay on.
