Default Smoked another C5 this morning!

I was on my way to work around 5:30 this morning, and seen the familar rear facia of another C5 coupe. He was going at least 35mph, so I had to get into mine to catch him. When I passed him I looked down at the speedometer - 45mph! As you would imagine, he didn't want none of me.

This should be a good test to see if mods actually read the threads before locking them. (not making any accusations).

He probably did not know what hit him.

You could just had waved and it would had been a better story if he waved back.

No, but he probably had a Corvette Forum decal... I think that dynoed out at a little over 3.5 HP. Best mod for the money.

Sounds like you got the dreaded DSB (Decal Speed Block). That's what you usually get when you place the sticker directly in your line of vision on the windshield.

I believe some of the forum sponsors sell the mandatory DBC (decal block cleaner), but I think I've seen some other members find their own solution at Home Depot (razor blade and windex ).

Good luck getting your fixed!

Some members swear by using 1 bottle of Zaino 29B!
