NGCA Boys at The Glen by Mike Ennis
Scott Ressler, Joe Horn, and I participated once again in the annual Watkins Glen Zippo Vintage Grand Prix Race Festival Weekend on September 8-10, 2000. Here is a description of some of the activities and events...

2006 C6 First Impressions by Al Engel
Walk up to the locked C-6 with the key fob in you pocket, reach for the door handle, squeeze the electronic handle trigger and instantly, the Vette sends a ‘question’ into the air asking...

Backyard Mechanic Basics for the C5 by Al Engel
I know I’m a little different then a lot of folks… just ask my wife! Most people, when they take delivery of a shiny new craft, go for a drive! I just took delivery of my ’99 C5, ragtop, 6 speed, drove the 5 miles from my friendly, local Chevrolet dealer...

C-5 Oil Change Requires "Special Procedure" by Al Engel
The owner’s manual cautions the C-5 owner that an oil change requires a "special procedure, consult the Shop Manual ($120 US Dollars), or see Mr. Goodwrench for his services" (not an exact quote, please permit me to paraphrase)...

Installing Y-2K Wheels on a '99 C-5 by Al Engel
It is now one year, and 7000 miles after taking delivery of my '99, Six Speed Roadster, and no, none, nada, zip problems, just high horsepower fun. To enhance the driving experience, I have done a few "improvements" that Mr. Hill and his fine team...

Throw Me a Curve by Al Engel
The all-time, best car I ever have owned (or driven on the street) as measured by cornering, was my ’86 C-4 coupe. I have had the opportunity to own, or have spent significant time driving: Z cars (78, 82 & 84)...

Bugs and Zaino by Al Engel
Many an hour I have spent de-bugging the nose and side mirrors of my white cars. As many of you may have noticed, all my cars are white. The Vettes (’86, ’92 and ’99); the Q45s (’90 and ’92); the Auroras (’95, ‘98 and ’01); and the Transports (’90, ’93, and ‘95)...

C5 Modifications To Avoid by Al Engel
Corvette owners seem to be tinkerers. On the older Vettes we could play with timing advance, timing curves, carburetor jetting, etc. without dissembling the engine and getting into the engine internals...

The Window Up and Down Thingy by Al Engel
The C-5 Ragtop is a wonderful car. I have had my ’99 Roadster since February of ‘99, and have not had any problems. Now, I have made a few modifications as described in some prior writings...

Tank Sticker Forensics by Dave Dunn
The tank sticker for my 1970 C3 was discovered when I had the car taken apart during a frame-off restoration. When I first heard the news of the discovery I was thrilled at the possibility of tracking down the origins of my car...

Why NGCA? by Dave Dunn
Back in 1997 I bought my first Vette. By 1999 I had a car I barely used and was on the verge of selling because my wife and I were talking about having kids. In January of 2000 I thought I would reach out to a local Corvette Club and try to find out...
