Replying to: exzur2071 (Mar 27, 2007 5:05 am) For a 2005 Manual transmission Corvette - Get the reflash done or you will continue to have battery problems.
#879 of 914 Question the dealer by starrow68 Mar 28, 2007 (7:35 pm)
When I knew a very good tech at the local Chevy dealer he would talk to me in addition to the service writer. He would let me know when tech updates to any system were available. He always noted on the service sheet when a software update was up loaded to the car so I had a record when traveling of what my current syetem status was. If the service writer doesn't know what you are asking, get to the service manager and ask also if they have techs that are Corvette C6 certified, completed the training. Good luck. Randy
#880 of 914 Base Model C6 at $40k; what's the downside? by john_f May 12, 2007 (5:05 am)
I'm dreaming of buying a base corvette sometime in the not too distant future. Seems like the base car, discounted to ~$40k is a reasonable deal. Do folks like the manual transmission? is the top hard or easy to take off? I think I can live without HUD or tilt wheel (hopefully),so the base car may meet my needs. Thanks in advance for any feedback. Replies to this message: rayainsw (May 12, 2007 6:11 am) buddejr8 (May 28, 2007 3:33 pm)

Replying to: john_f (May 12, 2007 5:05 am) I drive a 2007 3LT, w/HUD and A6. I’d agree that a ‘base’ 1LT can be a bargain. One thing that you will not have is the Sport Seats. The Z51 might be worth your $$s, depending . . .   The clear top is quite easy to take off.   All C6s have tilt – 3LT adds the power telescope for the steering wheel.   I’ve had the HUD before – and it is something I did not want to be without . . .

#882 of 914 Extras by motorhead1 May 12, 2007 (10:26 am)
My first Vette was a 91 with little extras but now I have a 02 with Hud, telescoping wheel, and memory seats and I would hate to have to go back to a base car, but any Vette is better that no Vette. You will love which ever one you get. I hope to be able to get a new 08 later this year with 430 Hp.

Replying to: john_f (May 12, 2007 5:05 am) Why would you need a base corvette for $40K? Call Ernie von Schledorn Chevrolet in Random Lake, WI and get a deal on the vette you want. Have your Vette shipped with Passport (a division of FedEx) if you aren't local
#884 of 914 Battery Charger by exzur2071 May 29, 2007 (4:07 am)
I womder why the Scunacher battrey charger works fine with the 2001 Pontiac Aztek and would not charge the battery of the 2005 C6 Corvette. Maybe, someone knows.   The my knowledge the C6 corvette battery is the regular 12V lead acid type and not the gel or deep cycle kind of. Replies to this message: bolivar (May 30, 2007 11:10 pm)

Replying to: exzur2071 (May 29, 2007 4:07 am) Bad battery?   If a battery takes 'no charge' or takes a high charge and never tapers down to a lower amperage charge - both these mean the battery is a goner and will never recharge and perform adequately.
#886 of 914 Battery Charger by exzur2071 Jun 01, 2007 (8:58 am)
Thanks bolivar. Problem is the dealer check the battery and they say it is okay. The Scumacher 1500A also work on my third car, a 2006 Cobalt SS Supercharged. It also works fine on my lawn tractor battery.   On the Corvette, the charger switches to desulfating mode, i.e. the charger green light blinking instead of steady. The % charged light don't get past 15.The desulfation rans up to five to six hours.   I am driving the vette and the battery is fine.

Anybody knows how to maintain the C6 Corvette battery fully charged while in storage for more than three weeks? Replies to this message: dbr3nnan (Jun 17, 2007 8:22 am)
