#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 . . .

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)

Replying to: exzur2071 (Jun 13, 2007 5:44 am) You can try a Battery Tender ($30 - 40). Keeps the battery fully charged through a trickle charge.

Replying to: pony_pirate (Feb 16, 2007 9:17 pm) I agree on the "Bose Blows" bit...until now. The Bose units in my '01 and '03 Z06's were horrible! Recently, I picked up my '08 coupe and have been very impressed with the Bose unit in this car. Night and day between the older units and this one. Have no idea what they did, nor have I made any attempt to verify changes but it is dramatic. Who knows, maybe GM listened to all the complaints about the old units and acted on the issue.
