I have not seen the Arrow Report but the service manager states the conclusion was "oil starvation" as the cause. Not to beat a dead horse, but the oil change at 500 miles was done properly, with the correct volume of synthetic oil - -I witnessed the entire oil change and it all is documented...
I pay 800 per year with USAA with one ticket in 10 years. I live in Southern Wisconsin equadistant between Chicago and Milwaukee. No one can touch USAA but, obviously, you have to be active or former military.
It's been about 6 weeks since my engine was pulled after it seized at 3,000 miles. Details in my previous posts. Little or no feedback from dealer. Service rep called and said it would he available to pick up this week. After the problems I have had with the brakes completely failing and now...
My radio/ CD died in the first month but I rarely listened to it anyway... It also quit at 3K miles but that was because the engine seized. I'm sure when they put the engine back in it will sound great!
my seized engine has been pulled, crated and is on the way to Arrow. Their website has little info. Can anyone provide me with a contact number and contact person?
Thanks, Jon
I seized my engine today.
Changed oil at 500 miles.
2000 dipstick reads full
Don't drive too hard.
Guages all normal. No blue smoke. No overheating.
Today, 3400 miles, funky tinny sound for 20 seconds at 2500 rpm then engine SEIZES. Towed to Dealer..
Less than 4 quarts in pan. Unbelievable...
The Corsa is sharp, loud and raspy. Sounds much better if the car is passing by you then if you are driving. The sound seems to mellow after a couple weeks, but most likely what really happens is you begin to go deaf in your left ear. I actually drove the first few weeks with an earplug in my...
The way I look at it, the top of the line Vette squeaks by the "base" Viper coupe. If DC made an ACR version of the GTS Coupe (say 250 fewer pounds and 50 plus more horsepower) then we would be comparing the top with the top. Does anyone know if there is a lighter, higher performance ACR...
Re: Hey vette, stop waving, this isn\'t a C6!
After reading the replies I had to check twice to make sure I hadn't accidentally posted on Oprah's forum. My point -- and it is merely an observation --was that amongst earlier model Vette owners they appear to mistakenly wave to the passing Viper...
Hey vette, stop waving, this isn\'t a C6!
A less serious post. Maybe I'm wrong here, but:
Vette owners wave and acknowledge other vette drivers on the road, regardless of year etc. As a previous ZO6 owner this was a common thing as we saw other vettes on a daily basis.
As Viper drivers we...
I drilled out my K&N s today and agree that, seat of the pants, the sluggishness was gone, pulled harder (though stumbled a bit on first few full throttles(recalibration?)) and throttle response much quicker. The stock holes on the K & Ns are very small. You will be amazed at the amount...
Corsa track and random tech cats. This will cure the heat problem. Side sills will not burn. Unfortunately, you will lose all the hearing in your left ear because this system is LOUD. Burbles and pops are like a fistfull of lady fingers going off. Constantly on any deceleration.
Just make...
I paid a little more than that with EC about 78,400
I also responded to your other post. I had my Corsa Track exhaust and Random Tech cats installed on my copperhead. VERY loud inside but sounds great outside. Heat problem cured.
Get the copperhead.
No, it's not resolved. It is hot as hell inside if it above 80 outside.
The exclusivity is the draw. Rarely did anyone notice my ZO6 vs a regular vette except for the diehard vette fans.
EVERYONE notices the viper (that's good or bad depending on what you want). If I drive a little...
Bill,
I bought my parts from JonB at partsrack. Exhaust 1295, RT cats 600 for 1895 plus shipping for parts alone. Install takes 6 to 8 hours with adjustments. $75 per hour. Are we talking the same equipment? Can you really get your parts that much cheaper than partsrack? Is your install...
See my previous posts as I was a former Z06 owner who was waiting for a DSOM 2006 Z06. I bought the copperhead Viper instead. I think the Viper is much less refined than the corvette and it is both a beast and a blast to drive. If you want attention the Viper crushes the vette.With the Vette...
