    C6 Replace factory NPP with more aggressive muffler

    I have a 2013 GS with the NPP factory installed muffler. I have added a "mild to wild" remote so that I may cruise in either quiet or loud mode at will. However, I am still not happy with the sound. My previous 2007 Vette did not have the NPP, and I installed a set of Magnaflows which were...

    Dyno testing

    Are there any places in the Tampa, Sarasota, Orlando area where I could dyno test my 2013 GS? I do not want it tuned as at this moment it would void my warranty, I just want to know whats HP it is putting out. Also, what would be the cost of such a test. Thank you.

    C6 Convertible top problem

    I have a 2007 C6 convertible with the electric top actuator. Lately, when I lower (or raise) the convertible top, there is an instance where the latch on the closeout panel strikes the glass of the convertible top.

    After some 12,900 miles, the Goodyear Eagles in the front of my vette are just about gone. I have been looking at replacement tires for the front (the back still have a few thousand miles left on them), and was quoted some $700 for two Bridgestone High Performance tires. These are the correct...

    I have a 2007 C-6 with the automatic/paddle shift transmission. I was always told that the car will start from 2nd gear whether in drive or in the "Sport" mode. In order to accelerate from 1st gear, you need to have the trans in "Sport" and down shift via the paddle into 1st gear. I have been...
