    C8 Z06 Insurance Cost

    The lack of repair experience MAY drive the insurance quote. That together with your driving record and location. The quote for my 2019 ZO6 is lower than the quote for the 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT Sport ! [ comparing apples to apples ]. Which does not make sense. So, you maybe pleasantly...

    Question Corvette Battery Tender discontinued ?

    It is my understanding that CTEC made both units. If you check the model with the CTEC brand and compare it to the model with Corvette brand, they look exactly the same, and have the same features. Tony

    Windshield Replacement in Calgary?

    Bob, welcome to reality ! Replaced my windshield last fall on my C7, Z06; $1800. If the Lexus has HUD, you need the expensive glass in order for it to work. The lower cost glass is around half the cost, but HUD is lost. And Lexus classes itself as an upper calibre manufacturer ! My...

    trickle charger

    A note of caution re use. C7 must be connected via the connection in the back. [ trunk area ]. The connection in the front, [ cig. lighter ] shuts off after 10 mins when car is turned off !! Thus using that connection you get 10 mins of 'charging'. The rear connection operates even when...

    Zo6 wheels

    No, you will have a problem ! As you note, C7, Z06 has 19ins fronts and 20ins rear. tires : 285/30ZR19 and 335/25ZR20. C7,Sringray has 18in fronts and 19ins rears. UNLESS you have the 1Z7 option, then you have 19ins/20ins rims. The Stingray 19/20 option sports 245/35ZR19 fronts and 285/30ZR20...

    Z06 comparison

    there is plenty to unpack in this request. Some points to consider include : how are you going to use the car ? The main focus for the Z06 is track work. If you are planning to use the car as primarily a touring vehicle, then a regular C5 or C6 will suit just fine ! Not that you can't use the...

    Suggestion CCF Social Groups aka not Facebook groups

    I answered NO to the suggestion re offering social groups; my reason being that I see it as the breaking down of a fairly cohesive corvette owners group. We can already enjoy like minded folks in each of the C1,C2,C3, etc model groups, and I feel that a further division would lead us to lose...

    First time washing my C8 with NO water in engine bay HTC version

    In the past use of dish washing soap was discouraged. It affected the paint finish. Are the newer paints and clearcoats resistant to these detergents ?? Being cautious, Tony
