I dunno if this will intrest anyone here, but i got my 2002 Corvette press kit yesterday from GM. It has about all the info you would want. I figured if anyone had any questions i could look in the kit and tell you what it was. So if anyone has anything they'd like to know, post it here.

BTW: I'm getting the 2002 truck/suv kits in the next few weeks. Their embargoed so far.

Paying for the C5 isn't really the problem, it's paying for the comparable my wife will demand if I buy one for myself...

She's been driving her Nissan for 8 years, meanwhile I've had a new Saturn, two new GMC full-size X-cabs, my Corvette, and now my Suburban, which is the cheapest vehicle I've had since high-school.

She's already made it clear that she gets the next new one...she wants an Audi TT...or a Maxima...or a BMW 5 series...

oh well...

They still have the two. The LS1 for the Coupe and Convertable, that's rated at 350hp.

Then the LS6 for the Hardtop(Z06), rated at 405hp! :o

Unfortunately, Chevrolet usually doesn't publish performance info like that...they loan the cars out to mags like Car & Driver and let them go out on their professional tracks with their professional drivers and publish the results...It seems to be more effective if a third party determines that stuff, GM could be bit more optimistic on the numbers, not that they would do that, right?

BUT, Zane is the one with the info, maybe it does have those specs....

Au Contrare! Gm does have its own published track times for the Z06.

0-60=3.9sec

1/4=12.4@116

405hp@6,000rpm

400ft-lbs@4,800rpm

When i look at the hp and tourqe curves, the increase in power is all abover 4000rpm. Up till that, the lines are matching.

Yep Mervz, Jim agrees. And now I'm gonna have the best of both worlds. A C5 and an Avalanche. Matching Pewter beasties all nestled in the garage.

Will it be able to keep up with, or pass, the Viper?

Does it (will it) still have that sweet ass exhaust note?

WILL IT STILL PICK-UP CHICKS ON THE CORNER? :biggrin:

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      Thanks, so being a different beast altogether, anyone know what the "optimal" temp is for the 10L80/90 for proper shifting?

      Some Assembly is Required

      How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Out and about yesterday on a long Saturday drive I passed a lot of Shell stations. My preferred, so I pay attention. Lot's of small town Illinois so not six stations in three blocks like the city.    Everyone of them over a radius of say 100 miles had regular at $4.19 but one which was the one closest to home at $4.15. However Premium pricing varied greatly between 85 cents over regular to $1.50 over. I'm not counting the price of the station with the lowest regular so the reference is the same for the remainder and all within the same brand. However the spread discrepancy holds across all brands.     @txab, any thoughts on that?

      Future GMC Jimmy

      What are your thoughts? The Chevy Blazer relaunch was an epic case of 'lunchbag letdown'. Jeep Wranglers and Ford Broncos stick out like a sore thumb.    The AI photos do not look like a 'retro version', but shrunken Tahoes. Get away from the 'futuristic look'. I've seen two concepts. One had rectangular headlight like a Rivian and the other way to big should include dual round headlights like the early version.   If not this would look OK   At least it has GM styling (albeit the K2XX) A lot of the images floating around look like Bronco IIs or the current Bronco. Looking at the Broncos in my area (central Ontario, it seems to be a mix of 2 doors and 4 doors, 'mall rated' to ones that could go offroad.    I'm sure a AT4 and AT4X RPOs could be outfitted similar to a Rubicon if the braintrust understood the whole offroad scene. Crosing my fingers that if it does see the light that the front air dam/bumper doesn't extend below the center line of the tire...

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well
