Vette(s): 1971, LT-1, T-top, 4-speed (M21), Mulsanne Blue, 3.70 rear, mostly original (sidepipes). 2006, Daytona Sunset Orange Coupe.
I just recently joined the "Official" C5/C6 Vette Registry, seeing as how I now own a C5, and I'm a bit disappointed, so far.
 
Either I'm doing something wrong, or I don't know where to look, but those folks over there aren't that responsive. At C3VR, when someone asks a technical question - BOOM - you get 12 answers right now! At the C5/C6 Registry - not so much, if any.
 
Also, the site in general is harder to navigate and search. Here I can find specific technical info in a jiffy. Anyone else (those of you with C5/C6's) experience the same thing?

So far, I like C3VR better than the other Forums.  Some of the folks on the other Forum's are darn right MEAN. Evil%20Smile
 
I have a C5 too. Big%20smile  Sometimes I get on the C5 Forum, but this Forum beats it all to H E L L. Wink

Perhaps they are not as technically savvy as the C3 crowd. We kinda have to be able to work on ours to keep driving them.

I belong to Corvette Forum as well. I specifically spend a great deal of time in the C5 section. I have bought a ton of stuff from the members. I have also gotten good tech advice when asked and in research from them.It is a very active section of the Forum.

I attended Corvette Forum's Cruise In at Bowling Green this year and had a good time. They had quite a few items planned on their agenda and we all had fun. It was great to meet some of the members there and there were some other C3 Vette Registry members there as well.

I do go to the C3 section of Corvette Forum from time to time but I don't get the same feel there as I do here at our C3Vette Registry.

I consider the C3Vette Registry to be my Vette home.... Sorry Folks your stuck with me....

I belong to the C5 Forum and Digital Corvettes too. Digital Corvettes would be my 2nd choice for the C5 crowd. Mostly becase they do some local events in Indianapolis. They also have a pretty active For Sale section and a Babes section that is an added bonus.

No.1 C3VR. I post here as if you're all friends.
 
No.2 Corvette Forum. I only post in response to questions.
 
No. 3 Corvette Action Center. Same as no. 2 but never much going on over there.
 
No. 4 Digital Corvettes. I have one post over there in 4 years.

I'm a member on Corvette Forum, Digital Corvettes, PNW Corvettes, Corvette Action Center, and nothing compares to this place, the C3VR is by far the best out there for a C3 owner Thumbs%20Up
 
I did just recently also join the Corvette Pace Car Registry, but its a little lonely over there, not very many members and no one but me posting it seems like Ermm

Vette(s): '68 Black Conv. Matching 327/300 4 Spd. P/S, P/B, P/W, Tele, A/C

Here's some typical C-6 Owner questions

"What's your favorite type of wiper fliuid?"
 
"Does your dealer give you a loaner car?"
 
There couldn't be much else to talk about.........................
 
As for the other sites, you may get an answer in about a week or so.  I like it here, our cars have enough issues to keep the board active.
