The past few months I have noticed alot of the same repeat/rehashed posts over and over. This is just part of the cycle. The C5Z has been out for 8 model years, how many new topics are left to discuss? New Z owners are gonna ask the same questions you once had.

There are way to many jerks rolling around in vettes, I would hate to see this forum get that stigma. I personally don't mind seeing the newb questions. They bought a car that I love and obviously care or they wouldn't be taking the time to read about it on the internet.

These type of questions never really help the person asking b/c they get as many answers as there are products and seem to confuse the OP in many instances. But as long as there are enough of these cars still out there to buy, newbies will always be asking the same questions over and over and over...

Everyone was a n00b at some point.

The search function is VERY useful though.

Carry on...

Well said guys. As long as there are new Z owners there will be questions that have already been answered. I am not new to corvette forum or corvettes for that matter but I am newer to the Z section. The questions are mostly all new to me and I still enjoy reading them.

There is no such thing as a stupid question. However, some of them on this forum come pretty close.

I've always heard history repeats it's self, forums are quicker on the rounds. Fact is most of us will be in pine boxes and the n00bs will still be drivin vettes.. kaput.

When you run out of things to say that have any substance, you rattle out some @#*$^% just to stay in the game, or to try and get your score up.

You are all forgetting the " how does my car stack up against the new accord that just moved in?" Look at the numbers yourself...If the car has the same horsepower, or less, but weighs a lot more, you can probable handle them, unless you are a horrible driver.
