Robert Downey Jr. describes himself as “a gearhead” and “a grease monkey.”
Some of you die-hard car guys out there might be questioning that assessment after seeing the trailer for Downey’s new show called “Downey’s Dream Cars” on Max (the network formerly known as HBO Max, by the way).
If you’re looking for a C5 coupe that’s out of the ordinary, you might want to consider this Fairway Green ’98 being offered by a Missouri dealer.
Chevrolet’s decision to offer a carrot/stick policy for Z06 sales has been on the books now for nearly a year since it was first announced. The program gives owners of the 2023 Corvette Z06 a reward of 500,000 My Chevy Rewards points valued at $5,000 for those who keep their Corvettes longer than six months. Those that sell their Corvettes before that time is up are supposedly barred from future “in-demand” sales while the person buying the flipped Z06 doesn’t receive the factory warranty.
Wax on, wax off! Repeat! There’s always something on your Corvette that needs to be cleaned…

Last month was when we first started hearing reports from owners that their 2023 Corvette Z06 had a strange ticking sound coming from the 5.5L LT6 V8 engine. Owners that reported the sound say that there doesn’t appear to be any power loss associated with it, and no Check Engine Lights are thrown either.
Most Corvette owners we know have a love/hate relationship with their wheels. We love them when they are clean and looking good as they provide the perfect focal point and stance, but keeping them in that condition can be a real chore as we are constantly fighting against brake dust, road grime, and other contaminants.

Believe it or not, there was a time when some C1 owners wanted to update their “old” Corvettes to make them more like the outrageous C2 Sting Ray.
An amateur sports car racer named Warren “Bud” Goodwin decided to try and cash in on that line of thinking when he founded Fiberfab in 1964 and offered a Centurion kit car based on the 1959 XP-87 Stingray prototype that had been designed by Pete Brock and went on to capture its first class win in 1959 and an SCCA championship in 1960.
