I have never had wheel hop, but then my car almost never spins the tires from dead stop. T/C off, performance mode, normal mode doesn't matter, just doesn't spin. It is more apt to spin from 20-30 mph, and then its not lighting them up unless on slick black top. Gizmo has more hp to the wheels...

Back from playtime. I stated from the first time we decided to get together I didn't want to race the cobra with slicks and he said ok, so whats he got on when I get there? exactly! Oh well I drove 40 miles for this so I'm not going back without some fun. Of course he outruns me. I guess he...

Tomorrow I am going to take my xlr-v out to play. So far I know of a roadrunner, 07 shelby mustang (claimed 650 rwhp), and a new shelby mustang. I fully expect to be leading all of them for 1/8 of a mile, and then am curious how long for them to run me down. I am curious if anyone else feels...

Black because thats what all my cars are :) and 09 because unlike a lot of people I like the vent things on the front fender

Ozzie I just looked at the tag on the back of your xlr. That is where I got mine. Maureen was great to deal with. I hope you like yours as much as I do mine. I actually had 2 trucking companies bid to bring my car to Kansas but after 2 weeks of no movement, I flew there and drove it home. NICE DRIVE

Definitely a lock smith. They may not even have to remove the cylinder. Any chance the cylinder just needs lubricated? They are in the weather and need attention occasionally.

1-premium fuel 2-i put my pics to photobucket and then paste the link to the forum 3-simple as any car to change oil, with the exception of jacking in the correct manner (like the vette) 4-??? 5-it uses dvd's to run the nav., the newest being the 09 model and not updatable beyond that...

That other post seemed like a sad post. I bet the new vette takes the sad away though. :)

Ozzie, where did you buy your car? Glad to hear you finally found one. Be sure to put pics on here.

My personal experience with carfax. I had a car totaled, turned into insurance, collected insurance check and then bought it back from insurance co. I later checked the carfax and NO accident showed. I am sure if you find a history, then it is there, but just because you don't find one doesn't...

That is a good report on the title. Now you know you have a little wiggle room on cost vs value. As Stella said, make sure you take it to a xlr "certified" tech. In case you didn't already know, Caddy made the dealers get a mechanic certified before they would allow them to sell one if these...

My forum name is a nick name from the pool hall. I used to be one of the best that I know of at jumping a cue ball, so one of the guys started air-mike for all the time the cue ball spent in the air. I used to teach em how, back when I was getting divorced and "lived" at the pool hall. Now I am...

I just had an additional thought. If you were talking about the body not having any rust, You definitely need to do car specific research, because they are fiberglass and wont rust body panels. They are far from cheap if you need to repair them also. Do some serious tire research too, because...

first thing is to check for a salvage title! Nothing matters until then, because the value of a salvage title is roughly half. I owned a stolen recovered, trans am, never wrecked and perfect car, wonderful car to drive, BUT, not to resell or trade. If you ONLY want it to drive, then its not a...

there are 14 xlr-v cars for sale on carsforsale.com and 120 more if you search xlr.....I sure wouldn't give that dealer another look.

I should add that I have been a go fast aholic for all my life and there are plenty of people that have NO desire to drive like I do. Ozzie, I can't speak for you, knowing nothing about you. I had a 2000 trans am that had 335 hp so it must have been very comparable to the base xlr in...

I would just roughly figure $10,000 more for a v whatever the year and condition. I bought a v and like you considered both, and finally decided I didn't want to ever look at my car and think what if. I don't and have never regretted it.

Take you car to a convenience store sometime when you see a vette in there and see which car the people stare, point at, and ask about!! I can answer that rhetorical question :cool:

registration---------$ 35.00 property tax--------$956.65 dmv modernization--$ 4.00 _______ 995.65 Labette co Kansas-2006 xlr-v March 2012 :banghead: nobody said I had to...
