For questions like this, you will get a better response if you post your question in the C6 Tech/Performance section.

I get a forum error message that I am not allowed to view the link below which is part of this FAQ:

"C6 Corvette - SRQ, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:"

Exhaust

NPP - Non-Factory Installation: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-c...r-ecs-cow.html

Is there a reason for this?

Thanks...

For future reference, I added some NCM Bash threads to the C6 FAQ. I will update as more threads are posted.

- NCM Bash picture threads were added under "Picture Gallery" and the

- NCM Bash "2011 Features" thread by talon90 (Paul) were added under "Spec Sheets"

Default Tire Noise

I just bought my 1st Vette a 2007 with 10k miles on it - is it typical for the tires to make a lot of road noise? Especially on the highway

Yes, I believe that is typical as tires age and wear. There is a lot of rubber on the road considering the tire width on Vettes. I suspect that the rubber gets a bit harder with age and transfers a bit more road noise to the cockpit.

Ahhh, welcome to the world of run-flat technology!

I would say you'll have to live with it for another 10,000 miles or so until you get a new set of tires. There are other "quieter" run-flats (although not significantly once they get some miles and years on them). Some people actually switch to non run-flats and carry an inflator on board just in case.

RRVETTE,
I didnt see a door pad fix in the FAQ's(which is outstanding BTW). I searched the forum and found this one, http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-c...-pads-too.html. Could you add this to the sticky. Not that it is expensive to buy new switches but this was way faster and as a lot on here are DIYers it would definately help them out.

Done. I named it "Exterior Door Switch Cleaning." Thanks for the heads up.

Default Fuel Door

On my C5 the was a spot for holding the fuel cap while filling. At first I didn't think the C6 had one but lo and behold there is a hook allowing one to drape the cap over the hook and away from the body of the car. Not as elegant as what the C5 had but just fine.

RRVettes,

I am the creator of the first C6 FAQ page "way back when" in 2004... I've been away with the military to parts of the world I can't talk about...but lets just say there aren't many vettes here! LOL!

A big "THANK YOU" for re-doing my C6 FAQ and keeping it timely and up-to-date as a service to the many thousands of C6 owners out there.

You've done a great FAQ/WIKI page, and I'm proud of the hard work you've done to update my original page... I just wish I had the time and resources to have kept it up-to-date, but you've done a fine job taking the reins.

Three cheers to you!

Doc Rings

PS: Can't wait to get home and drive the Vette again...it's been tooooooo long!

It's one jackstands and a Battery Tender...awaiting my return next Summer....
