The late Corvette C4 uses the following tire sizes (Non ZR-1 of course). 255/45/ZR17 285/40/ZR17 Given the fact these tires are directional, AND they are different sizes for front and back it's been hard trying to find n...

Was recently in some new towns last week on a little road tour in my Corvette from Detroit to Nashville - to Hilton Head Island S.C. and back to Detroit.

Well, recently I had a customer coming in with what can only be described as a "lazy eyeball" when it came to his right passengers side headlamp. As I am sure you already known about the flip up headlights on the Corvette, they rotate around to open and close. After awhile they will start running on for aw...

When I slide into my 1996 Corvette C4 convertible, I feel like I am 16 again! And that folks, is the truth! However, I have had serious dreams of getting into the new mid-engined C8! I think it's the next sexiest Corvette since the C4! I dream of getting one!

Wow, although it's supposedly a Lotus design, I never knew that MerCruiser was the one to machine and assemble it! Amazing video and I especially like how they have a ZR1 pulling the "Wet-Vette" boat that MerCruiser installed an LT5 into!
