Replying to: topspin628 (Jan 04, 2006 9:09 am) What I have made out from your post is that you basically need a trusty 2-door cabrio which should be fun to drive and comfy as a daily driver. Which means that you don't actually need an adrenalin injected hot-rod of a sports car. I think that you should stop looking at the vette although it is a GREAT car in every respect, you won't find it up to your requirements. Here are some cars which I highly recommend for you:   *)6 series cabrio *)Cadillac XLR (American, but believe me - it's exotic!!) *)Lexus SC430 *)Mercedes SL or CLK cabrio *)Porsche 911 cabrio   Hope you like 'em

Replying to: habitat1 (Jan 04, 2006 5:55 pm) I can't really provide analysis of why the S2000 is good but I would point you to http://www.speedventures.net/event_results.asp and suggest you scroll down to the 7 class results for 10/1/05 at Buttonwillow. Big event and well attended. The stock Corvette coupe on streets, the S2000 with race tires (no aero) and the Elise are in that grouping. Well driven S2000s are always at the front of the pack and as noted a good set up on a M3 with good driver will get there too. My setup is mostly for street in the Vette and I'm running Kumho MX tires which give up a lot of grip for a heavy car no matter how much I regain on straights. If I went to D0T-Rs I would go up a class. The supercharged and/or aero modified S2000s are amazing in class 6.      As to the mag reviews of the Boxster and skid pad or cone courses, they don't come close to what it's like on a full road course. In 3 years on track I have yet to find a Boxster that I couldn't pass and the best I've seen had mods to the suspension and exhaust that he would talk about and DOT-Rs and he was still 1/2 sec slower at Sears Point which is a technical track, not a HP track.

#675 of 914 Front License Plate by glhendr1 Jan 10, 2006 (8:50 am)
Can someone tell me where I can find (order) a front license bracket for my 05 C6? I have the dealer bracket but didn't want to install it because I don't want to drill hole in my bumper. I'm looking for one that doesn't require drilled holes.

Replying to: glhendr1 (Jan 10, 2006 8:50 am) Do a google search on "C6 license plate bracket". There are several different types of brackets out there.   I just put some black plastic door edge guard on the bottom of my front plate and tie wrapped it to the grill. Is sits tilted back // in the center of the grill opening. 6 Tie wraps got the job done for me.   Replies to this message: starrow68 (Jan 13, 2006 10:19 am) glhendr1 (Jan 17, 2006 8:36 am) glhendr1 (Jan 17, 2006 8:34 am)

Replying to: jmess (Jan 12, 2006 8:28 pm) Some aftermarket outfit is going to come up with a good looking front fascia that has better air flow around a plate that is recessed and includes a splitter for better down force and it will probably sell well.

#678 of 914 Price by motorhead1 Jan 15, 2006 (4:38 am)
Does anyone know how the new price cut that GM has is going to effect the price of a new Corvette? Replies to this message: starrow68 (Jan 16, 2006 8:26 am)
#679 of 914 Re: Price [motorhead1] by starrow68 Jan 16, 2006 (8:26 am)
Replying to: motorhead1 (Jan 15, 2006 4:38 am) To split the question into two pieces, yes there are some who know but they are the dealers and it remains to be seen what they do. The most likely is that with a slightly lower MSRP the discounts on coupe and vert will remain about the same and it will pass to the buyer, but for sure some will try to reduce discounts and keep the final price unchanged. On the Z06 it won't make much difference since those that ordered at MSRP will see a tiny reduction and all the other units are at markups over MSRP and it isn't going to amount to much there. The best deals are on the internet, local dealers in most cases have low allocations are are going to charge top dollar. Randy

Replying to: jmess (Jan 12, 2006 8:28 pm) Thanks, I did a search and found a couple of sites but I guess I'm cheat...not willing to pay $70 or $80 for a front plate. Gotta do something tough to keep the heat off my bumper.
