I like it! I’m excited for this thing. 

The Corvette V8s never get credit for how good they are due to a lack of technology. The block itself is bigger but the engines are lighter and smaller in overall size compared to the competition because of their simplicity. This car doesn’t need to cost another 100k just so it’s complex for the sake of being…

Huh. I thought you were never supposed to let your car coast to a stop, and always keep it in gear, even if the clutch is disengaged the whole time. My dad told me it was so I could use the throttle at all times to get out of a sticky situation, if I needed to. This guy probably knows more on the subject than my dad…

Oooooh, Weathertechs is a good one that I haven’t seen mentioned yet. Put them in all my cars.

That’s no moon...

fwiw i also own half a pretty decent E39 M5, so one step ahead of you there

I found a notary who was willing to meet at 9 p.m. on a Sunday night to notarize a Pennsylvania car title, and myself, my girlfriend, and her little dog Fred hopped in the M5 and took a two-hour drive through intense rain from Manhattan to eastern Pennsylvania.

Like Callaway, a Lingenfelter mod is not typically frowned on even by collectors in the Vette community. It’s not like an ebay turbo kit on an Integra. 

Yeah, a lot of the people commenting on this article clearly have no sense of the C5 market. A visit to corvetteforum or autotempest would likely dispel this ignorance.

NP.

You can find a Ligenfelter C5 for 15k? Where?

“I would say depends if you if it’s a daily driver, of if it’s a project car.”

you are woefully underestimating the number of people who use navigation and GPS while driving.

This this is not the first time something Justin has written has given me the impression that he has no idea what he’s actually talking about.

And when you take into account dyno variations, weather, etc its probably actually pretty close to factory flywheel power. Not too bad.

The results of the test indicate the engine’s average power from three runs was almost exactly 100 HP, with an average max power of 126.64 HP. That’s quite a bit of power to lose, but then again, this is a pretty old car.
