Hey guys , I'm looking for some info about my car. This is my first Corvette so I'm learning as I go. While I'm in traffic the coolent temp rises to 220-230 is this normal.  On the open road coolent temp stays at 190 it's just in stoped traffic it climbs. With the LS1 engine the last thing I want to do is overheat. Can anyone help with some info. Thanks Truckguy.

Turned out to be a small peice of roadkill on the left front corner of the oil pan. Not enough for a sandwich but very stinky.

Skunky smell (not an exhaust smell) - no leaks, all temps ok, no lights, no smoke, nothing dragging, nothing hot to the feel that shouldn't be, everything works, car runs and performs perfectly - new belts, water pump, brakes. Garage and car smells like it is smoldering while running and in the garage after it is shut off.

Does anyone know if the LS3 can go where the LS1 was original. Do computers have to be changed?. Can you buy an LS3 that is complete top to bottom?  Thanks

Does or has anybody experienced a  clicking sound, when taking off at any speed then relaesing the throttle either by depressing the clutch in or just backing of the gas. I have a noticeable luod click sound, and have had the car on the hoist and checkd every bolt, checked, tailshaft, and diff, cant find what is causing it, also very noticebale when depressing clutch, any advice would help, this noise very annoying.

on another note, front lower fog lights, seem to be leaning back into the body on an angle and have come away from the little click fittings at the top, does any one know how to access them to simply push them back into position, is it simple or does it require parts of the car?

Hi all. I've recently written a couple of articles about C5s.

The first is about the 2003 50th Anniversary edition: http://www.examiner.com/x-31734-Fairfax-Corvette-Examiner~y2010m3d18-2003-Corvette-special-anniversary-edition--still-going-strong-at-50

The second is about the 1998 Pace Car: http://www.examiner.com/x-31734-Fairfax-Corvette-Examiner~y2009m12d9-1998-Corvette-pace-car--you-just-cant-ignore-it

Hope you enjoy them!

Hi all. I recently wrote an article about the Callaway C16. Since there is no specific Callaway section, I don't know where else to put this link.
