So how are your 1996s holding up???
Mine just has 18k original miles. My only
issue is that the air conditioning only blows
through the bottom vents.

I put a battery in mine over the weekend.

Went for a sunshine drive and got use of the MagnaFlows.      Thumbs Up

Mine had some issues when I first got it-----but all is "good" now. This week I'm driving it to work for the first time in a while---which is a very relaxing/pleasant  experience. With all the recent snow I'd almost forgotten how true that is..........Big smile

I got brake work to do....not because it needs it, but because its upgrades I have been having stashed.

Just hard to do it when the weather is nice part of the week, but a majority of the week is rainy and cold...so...I just drive.

I asked myself:
"Who needs brakes when the other pedal is on the floor?"



Cool

Vette(s): I have a 1996 Collector Edition coupe with the 6 speed/LT4 engine. Looks and runs like new. 203 coupes were exported to Canada for 1996 and of those, only 83 of them had the Z15 option.
Mmmmm, holding up great!! I thoroughly enjoyed sitting in it and hearing the engine just rumbling. Sounds like a cat ready to get out and stretch its legs and that can't be soon enough, maybe tomorrow!!!

Have a sneaky feeling I'm in the market for a battery because after being on charge for 2 days it only shows 11.7 volts when I'm ready to start up. It starts well enough but the voltage should be around 12.5-13.5 volts for a good battery. Of course, I haven't any idea how old the battery is but it isn't a big deal and I can do that myself easy enough.

I'm considering a Comp Yellow or a Collector's Edition for my next Vette. I drove a Polo Green LT1 coupe back in the day.
