My corvette idol is Harley Earl.

Your Idle should be half that.

Ok Ok, he learned his lesson! Remember to check spelling, especially when you start a new thread! Communication is essential!

The idle for my 96 LT1 at startup is around 900ish and when you put it in drive about 700... After she is all warmed up, I get 550 to 650 in drive and 600-700 in neutral...

Maybe they put the keys back on in the wrong order!

Anyway, welcome. We all come in for our fair share of abuse! Want to build a C-4 from the ground up? Collectively this forum can do that. Want to have your language skills critiqued or see humorous pix? This forum can do THAT too!

(By the way, you spelled "Vette Club" wrong in your screen name! )

I thought CDUB stood for something a little more creative like
CEE DEES U BEEOCH
At least that's what should be said after catching grammatical grief here.

Let's see some pics of your car

He's "paid in advance" for a whole month's ribbing! Hope that in all the flak, he didn't miss dogfish's straight-up answer to his question.

My Corvette Idol is the 86 Corvette, Yellow

My Corvette idle is 800~900 RPMS

My CF idols are the trolls with multiple user names that enter asking stupid questions, claiming to be broke but always installing new modifications. Thats what happens when you retire and have no-one in your life but your hand. You become...."The Internet Tough Guy" or Mr. Thailand
