I'm just driving a coupe so what I've heard is hearsay. There was an oiling issue in 2001 but I think it was ok by '02. Other than that they seem fairly bullet proof from the ones I see on track, and that has been many. The other issues are just the standard ones that apply to all Corvettes: the column lock issue, several solutions but Chevy did a recall on that one; the rocking seat, also under a bulletin that replaced the motors under the seat if there was a complaint, not a recall; and not much else I'm aware of. On a Z06 I'd look closely at the panel below the doors. I tape the back of my wheel wells which limits the abuse from rocks on the track but nobody I've seen tapes all along under the door and it's clear my car has been tracked from the nicks and gouges in that area. Other than that, running on track with a bra the car looks perfectly clean. Most of these cars never see the track, btw. Randy |

Thanks for the inputs. I decided to order an '06 just the way I want it. It will cost me only about $3k more but I make most of that back in depreciation, so I think it's just about a wash. I ordered the custom plate today: 06 C6. It might look funny on my 330CiC, but hopefully it won't be on there long. Now I just need to find a dealer who will do $2500 off MSRP on an '06 order... |

According to sources, the new Blue for 2006 is Asiatic Blue, don't have info on what shade it will be. Some guy online, says he got an advanced order by paying extra. LeMans Blue is too dark in my book, will be interesting to see. Randy

| I need help to value a 75' vette. It doesn't have the original motor. It has a 350 with a full race cam. It get about 350 hp. It has a munsy tranny, high performance spark plug wires, and edlebrock head covers. It has side pipes and aluminum wheels. White with black interior and a black bra, T-tops. It is a runner. Needs paint and of course interior work. What do you all think? | |
| I have a 2000 vette that the drivers side window when rolling down squeals, does anyone know the cause of this or a cure for it?? | |

Hello, I am in the process of changing a headlight switch on a 1979 corvette. The switch is a push/pull knob located in the dash and if the knob is turned it also dims or brightens the gauge lights. The switch is held in place in the dash by a threaded collar which is easy to remove. How does one go about removing the knob and the shaft which inserts into the switch? On the new switch it looks like the knob & shaft threads into the switch but I can't seem to unscrew the knob from the old switch. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |
