Race Ramps, for 10 times the price of Rhino ramps.

And my all time biggest peeve is when some one just plain says ANYTHING about ANY corvette subject and -

Never had a Corvette
Cant produce a time slip or any real data to back their comment
Never turned a wrench themselves

And the ever present asshat that says somthing along the lines of "I spent $20,000 in performance mods and have yet to gun it"

"help me decide, xyz" DO WHAT YOU WANT!
Lot of stuff just gets regurgitaded (sic?), always the same answers, always the same answers. Did I just do that?

Discussed a lot, rarely a topic of controversy.

Other than the fact it uses only two hoses, yet people can manage to find 15 different ways of hooking them up.

#1 would be all the issues of comparing the bastardized 2001 Z06 to the '02-'04 Z06es

#2 has to be PVC oil catch cans i.e.the need for them on any LSx engine.


#3 surely must be the hardtop body style (1999-2000 FRC/ 2001-2004 Z06) lov'em or hate'em


#4 anyway to compare the C5 (or any other vehicle ) to the C5 Z06


#5 "what is this car worth?" This drives me crazy

#6 "how much hp can I expect if........?" What , like I have a dyno in my pocket?

#7 emissions issues in states or counties that have annual testing. The two sides , how to get around it or the other side , opinions on what the laws state.


#8 being stopped by a police officer for whatever reason , This one hits home with me as my father was a California Highway patrolman for 25 years. Inevitably the two sides are taken.

But with only a few exceptions , this forum conducts its self with civility and respect , which is hard to find anymore.
So thanks to all on this forum.

They clutter up the smooth flowing lines of the C-5.

What color should I paint my Vette? Bonehead question. Whatever color you like.

Add in "what color is best"???

Over the 8 years on the CF, I find myself reading less and less postings and replying to less and less also. Maybe the fact that there are probably 10 times the number of users now has caused a lot of repetitous thread subjects and silly opinion arguments.
