I have owned this Vette for 2.5 years. I bought it from a dealer with 46,000 miles on it, and have added approx. 16,000 miles since then. The prior owners added most of the mods, including the Corsa cat-back exhaust, SLP cold air intake, short throw shifter and the C5 Z06 brake and wheel conversion. They also added splash guards and replaced the original radio with a single-din unit and the necessary amplifier upgrade as well as brighter halogen headlight bulbs. This was somebody's baby and hangar queen and I think I have maintained and improved upon it's condition.
Since I purchased it I have added the Sony double-din hi-fi system which is awesome. I put Continental Extreme Contact tires on it two years ago. If you know the LT1 engine you will know that the weak link is the Optispark distributor that sits under the water pump. I replaced mine in Sep 2011 with a Petris Vented unit which is arguably the best available. I also replaced the water pump and thermostat as well as the spark plugs and leads. It has run beautifully since then.
I put in new gas tailgate supports, as well as new weather stripping for the doors and rear hatch. I also added the black carpets to accent the door panels. Overall it is in excellent condition and defies it's age. One gentleman even confused it with a brand new model recently at a Home Depot parking lot. The paint is fantastic for an almost 20 year old car, although it does have some very, very minor paint chips and scratches commensurate with its age. The worst is virtually invisible unless you know where to look (see photo). If you think the photos are good, it's even better in the flesh!

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th
Tue, 15 Apr 2014It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
