Corvette Forum Test
I'm a retired educator so I am experienced in writing hard questions. Seems every test I gave over the years someone would always stand out above the rest and was very knowledgeable about the subject area. So forum brothers and sisters I have several questions, will someone or several CF members stand out??
1. RPI has colored caliper covers that snap on and tighten with a couple of screws. Has anyone bought caliper covers? If so what are your comments about how they work, lookl? Any pics available.
2. Several folks on here have mentioned that they have used a clear bra to cover the area around the rear air ducts, where do you place the material, how high, how far back etc?? I hope someone would have pics of how theres look so I can copy the placement.
3. Whats the wheel size of a GS convertible, looking to replace my rims.
4.If a boat is sitting in the ocean and tosses a rope over the side with 5 knots in it 2 feet apart. The tide rises at the rate of 24 inches every hour and a half, how long does it take for the water to reach the top knot??
Thanks for the help folks.

Very good except the gentleman above your post says 18/19. This is my issue with the wheels, seems there is a difference of opinion in the wheel size thus my confusion

The Cup wheels and ZR-1 Wheels (available on GS) are 19/20
That may be where the confusion comes from.
Here is a vendor that has the sizes and off sets listed.

Rope floats, unless you tie a weight to it.
