Same with me. This is a great site. I've done most of my "hangin' out" at Corvette sites, and looking in at LS1.com. Glad I found it. <img src="graemlins/z06.gif" border="0" alt="[Z06 Corvette]" />

You don't give them the credit they deserve...I'm sure alot of these stroker/n20/turbo vettes can lift the front wheels...but you don't even give them a chance!

Re: What can we do to increase Corvette traffic here? It's a matter of getting the word out.
Most 'vette guys will mod if it isn't snake oil.
When 'vette folks here get together with other ;vette guys at events or get togethers talk up this site!
Business card with the site address are great handouts a big events, t-shirts, window stickers... the stuff that works.
That's how it came to my attention.
I each of us tell some other Corvette owner about this place it will grow quite quickly.

Re: What can we do to increase Corvette traffic here? Considering the fact that I have had 4 f-bodies and am now a first time buyer of a new Vette, it's very overwhelming to have stepped up into this kind of car. I loved my SS because it had SLP Bilstein suspension and SLP stuff like the Auburn, ZR1 Chrome Rims, gorgeous color, Dual-Dual. etc. That car was set up nice! Too bad after 6 repairs to the rear-difff they couldn't fix it right, but I couldn't resist the temptation of not putting the money I got back into a Vette. I'm in love all over again, with butterflys in my stomach for the last 3 days still! <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0"> <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0"> <img src="graemlins/corvette.gif" border="0" alt="[Corvette]" />

Re: What can we do to increase Corvette traffic here? I've got a question. More like a dilemma. I'll start a new thread. Involves both an 02 SS 1LE A4 and an 02 Z06. Which to mod. The GMMG ZL1 complicates things even more...here's where it gets crazy, the ZL1, especially modded, could replace both cars.

Re: What can we do to increase Corvette traffic here? This is my first post on here since I spend most of my login time at vette forums. My 2K2 is first vette (had an '86 TA years back) so before I bought it, I needed to know as much about it as possible since I had no intention of keeping it stock. The vette forums help a lot in that respect since there is a lot which is unique to the car - body construction, suspension, drivetrain configuration, etc. The vette forums gave me a crash course in these things along with modifiability of the C5 and problems specific to it.
I'm muchmore comfortable with my C5 now than I was 3 months ago. I've done one type of mod or another almost every weekend since I picked her up. Not major, mind you, but that's to come soon enough. I've done exhaust, intake, body protection, interior enhancements, lighting upgrades and more. I've come here to gather more info on more substantial mods for the LS1.
At first, I didn't realize how closely related (inbred? <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> ) f-bodies and C5's are. I've come to appreciate this and really have to agree with the general consensus that the average f-body owner seems to be more hands-on and techie than the average C5 owner. It makes sense if you look at target markets for the vehicles - especially the C5. Personally, I have a lot of respect for a guy with the cojones and skill to tear down and rebuild his ride, regardless of what it is. But there are still quite a few vette owners with grease under their fingernails. Their wallets, by necessity, have to be a little fatter, though.
This site is definitely hardcore in the technical knowledge department. As an LS1 owner looking to improve his powerplant and learn as much as possible in the process, that's great. For others who feel that stock is good enough, it may be overkill.
I was at a Chevy dealer this morning for a PCM update and alignment (after lowering) and met this really cool guy with a '99 Z28. We talked for some time about f-bodies, C5's, the LS1 and the new Hugger Orange SS he ordered. <img src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" /> I realized we had a lot in common early in our conversation. But he seemed a little amazed at how much it costs to mod a C5 compared to f-bodies.
So, I'm sure others will check this site out. Keep up the good work!

Re: What can we do to increase Corvette traffic here? Just found out about this site from a post on one of the VETTE forums. Waiting on a SuperChips program for my 2001 Coupe. Hopefully it will work out.

Re: What can we do to increase Corvette traffic here? The reason you don't have many Vette owners in here is because we don't know about the site.
I'm an old school corvetteforum member and I JUST learned about this site from a link off of http://www.thewrongmotor.com ............
For every "add an air filter and call it modified" vette owner that you can show me, I can show you a "bore it, stroke it, put Nitrous on it and THEN it's modified" vette owner! <img src="graemlins/gr_chug.gif" border="0" alt="[chug]" />

Hey you need to edit the link to your web site. You have a comma after the link and it macks it not work. Look close you'll see it.

Re: What can we do to increase Corvette traffic here? Well I was on ls1.com pretty often. Then I took a break and came back and every one was gone. Well I found you all now here.
I leared a lot about my '00 Camaro SS. Well its gone now. In its place, as of today, is a '02 Z06 Black. No mods yet.
