    Too Many Dealers?

    I guess I just don't get it. . Chrysler and GM keep complaining that they have too many dealers. I just don't understand the argument. Maybe some-one can explain. More dealers=more places people can shop for the manufacturers products. How is this a problem for the manufacturers? If these...

    I currently own a GTS and am thinking about upgrading to a new Coupe. I think the viper is a blast to drive, but I have to say the exhaust note is the least favorite attribute of the car. Can any of the new coupe owners compare the cabin sound of a GTS and the new coupe? Better, worse...

    2005 Corvette sales are down

    I just thought you might find this interesting: According to Forbes Magazine, General Motors put out an overhauled Chevrolet Corvette in the later part of 2004, but in 2005 Corvette sales have actually decreased. My own opinion is the lack luster styling is hurting the car's sales, but on...

    Just Drove a 2004 Z06. It's no Viper!

    Just Drove a 2004 Z06. It\'s no Viper! As a vette enthusiast for many years I test drove a 2004 Z06 for a buddy of mine. It's been a year since I traded in my 1999 C5 for my 2001 GTS. Although the Vette is a nice car, very powerful and refined. I have to say it just is not as exciting as...

    Sub Woofer Upgrade and Sound Deadening for 2001 GTS - PICS

    I know this is a poser mod by adding precious weight to a viper, but I like to cruise and with close to 500 horsepower on tap I'm not worried about adding a little poundage. If you like to hear your stereo and cruise in your GTS I recommend this mod. I just upgraded my 2001 GTS with JL Audio...

    Speedo is 10 Miles per hour off

    I have a 2001 GTS which I recently bought. The seller stated the car has 3.55 rear end gears in it. I have had the car for about a month and when I drive it on the hiway I normally go 10MPH over the limit and noticed I was going appreciably faster than the rest of the traffic. Plus my 0-60 times...
