Service Traction Control message showed up one time. But went away. Dealer can't find problems.
Seats rocks a little.
Stock GoodYear tires are junk. Throw them away ASAP!
This car is seriously quick stock.
The base suspension is too comfortable and needs to be firmer.
The most comfortable seats I have ever being in. My bad back love the seats.
Upgraded the suspension, brakes, and engine to 450HP and still dead reliable and drivable.
Now the car is quicker, but I want 500HP and 650HP on Nitrous. Got beat by a700HP Vette.
Very low Maintenance car, coolant at 100k, oil every 6k, never on transmission and differential, 100k on plugs. You really don't have to do much at all.
You don't own a corvette. And if you do its not the corvette that you just "reviewed." First of all you change the oil every 3k or you have problems, second you don't have 450 bhp on a c5 without a blower. Nice try buddy.
450 on a non-supercharged, air-breathing LS1 is not only possible, it's relatively cheap to obtain. What you'll have to do is a stroke-out to 378 cubic inches and replacement of the exhaust system behind the catalyzers.
6000 miles between oil-changes is not harmful; I think the manual recommends either 5000 or 7500. On mine (not the original poster), I change the AMSOIL synthetic oil every 15,000 and when the engine was torn down at 150,000 miles, there didn't seem to be any unreasonable wear. Keep in mind that the car was not babied by any means. The LS1 is a good, tough, efficient engine that has a lot of good engineering in it.
Why did you rebuild the engine at only 150,000 miles?
Was it burning oil?
I have 50k on mine. New Magnaflow and Kumho run flats. O2 sensor.
Beautiful Sebring Silver Convertible. I keep the top down always. I will never sell mine and hope to give to my son someday.
If you buy one, a garage is a must with any convertible. Mine never goes out in the rain and is show quality, but driven as well
Corvettes are good as long they don't come near a Porsche 996, and they hide once the 911 Turbo shows up.
18:09 untrue. The Porsche 996 Turbo. 189 mph 0-60 4.6 seconds. Corvette Z06, 205 mph 0-60 3.6 seconds.
You typically see the 600 hp class models compared with Murcielago, Mercedes SL65AMG, Viper and the Vette, not the low hp Porsche models. Still, it's a fast car that we can enjoy in the rear view mirror. In the new 376 cu in 638 hp Vettes.
