Hey, omike...if that's an '05 it's a 1SB. If the sticker in the glove box says 3LT it either ain't an '05 or it's the wrong glove box.

Omike - Ruxxy is right (well of COURSE he's right, he IS a GSer!) `05's equipment group RPO's were 1SA & 1SB. Someone probably swapped glove box doors from a later C6 as the latches are notorious for breaking. When we meet for a beer sometime I will try to decipher your VIN. Or you could go to any GM dealer and ask for a GMVIS report for your Vin number. That will tell you every option your car has, when it was built and all service work done by GM dealers.

It is the 1sb that Zeuss in this thread showed as 3lt:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...tion-code.html

I've seen 1/2/3LT mentioned before but never the 1sb so figured I'd use that instead lol

Still learning the terminology

Rockyman......looove your fat car..........I always wondered what it would be like to have a show car......pampered and buffed daily never seeing the outside until the temp is right.......or that nasty old rain cloud in the other State over is sure to not come your way....... I must try to mentally prepare you for driving out west......were the grasshoppers are as big as hummingbirds and at least half the roads will be newly chip sealed with those little razor edged rocks....... not to mention the hail storms, dust devils and tornadoes........ we won't say anything if you chose to haul it out......... in a trailer........


Holy moly there must be a migration of basers headed out on vacay

I don't want to have bad weather while we are in the hills but sorta hoping it rains a couple of times so I wont be so embarrassed when my car is parked next to Rocketmans. That thing is definitely show car quality.

so now both the Husker boys are comedians.............

true my base 427 is clean, but also sleek and fast like the rest of my baser brothers cars are..............

checked out some driving directions and mileages.................

seems I could go from the Motor City to the Milwaukee area in about the same time the Husker crew makes Sioux City...............

the Milwaukee area would put me about 1/3 of the way to Sioux Falls.........

grasshoppers and such should not stick to the paint......... or so I hope........ we will see how well this ceramic coating works......

trying to figure out a way to mount the Novistretch bra on now that I added the air dam............ may have to make some "extensions" for the clips that go under the front bumper........

if not, I guess it will just show up in Sioux Falls in a style or condition already approved by Ruxxy himself..............

topless and braless...................

H1 I found that Google will let you store and share photos for FREE

just need a Google account, which is email..............

came recommended as one of the best free storage sites too...........

otherwise, I keep pictures on my computer or backed up on an external hard drive..............

speaking of photos, and some liking the ability to look at them.........

here is a link to my Google account which has about 600 pictures from our club's show on June 17th...................

https://photos.google.com/album/AF1Q...F4FVzhcNcHZ3nz

originally they were sorted, but after adding them to the album, they seem to be mixed up quite a bit now............. if you click on the picture, it does get larger too.....................

The majority of my posts are made from my phone. All the pictures I post are directly from my phone. I don't use photo bucket or any other photo sharing service. If the photo wasn't taken with my phone I just save it or download it to my phone. I have not figured out how to post videos directly from my phone though.

I use the Garage Talk app. It works pretty good for most stuff. Occasionally I'll use my iPad because it's easier for some things. To post a pic from my phone.



Click on the far left icon. (That mountain scene)



Click on the +



Click gallery to go to your pictures and add a photo and insert it.
Hopefully that makes sense and helps out a little.

I'm an official geezer, since I still have a non-electronic analog watch and I take photos with a camera. I do use my phone for pics sometimes and they download to the cloud plus I save them on my PC. I download the camera card to the computer regularly and when the car is full, I buy another. The cards are inexpensive storage devices. I never put anything on Photobucket that I don't have stored in two other places.
Yes, I do use credit cards and paypal, but I still use cash too. A little bit of gold doesn't hurt, but you can't spend it so easy anymore.

Hoxxy those silver dollars are getting hard to come by these days aren't they......just kidding you old baser......cash is nice......I have used photobucket for years and had it all set up to send the pics I liked to them off my phone. I guess the whole ransomeware thing is creating a bit hubub on the internet.......lots of folks pissed off....... I am going to grab a pitchfork and join the large riotous group of peasants as we march on Photobucket.....

Good numbers. It's a blast to get to really see what these cars can do. At that MPH it won't take you anytime to get to South Dakota.

I am a bit confused....... 153.4 in a half mile...... with a stock 427....... or did you add a blower? The huffer cars out here were running 150 to 155 in the half...... and that would be in the 600 to 650 hp range.... what am I missing here....... not crying BS.... I am just wondering....... I ran 138.3 with 400 hp to the rear wheels......or around 470 hp to the crank. The base C7 I ran is 460 crank hp and I beat him every run........but it was close.

H600 ran 180's in the mile so half mile would have been around 155 I'm guessing....... out here they used 8 telephone poles to measure the half mile.... 4 telephone poles has always been the standard for the 1/4 mile in Nebraska drag racing.....

I'm wondering if they were using 9 poles out where you live......
