Had an interesting discussion with people from the auto industry. The discussion was about the corvette's manual. Just wanted to see if I could win some beers.

If you ain't on the edge, your taking up too much space.

Search engines or videos just won't lay out on the bench, and won't move to the car easily.
Damn monitor keeps falling off the fender.

Need to get that 52'' plasma screen for the garage to display it then. That way you can tell your loved ones " its to keep your cars and you safe. You don't want to endanger anyone, do you?"

How about a projetion unit, so I can cover the whole wall?

I do prefer the Chevrolet shop manual, and the Corvette assembly manual, to any others.
(and a plethera of cataloges)

I think a well written manual is a great non-tool to have. There is quite a bit of good information in the Corvette manual.

I wouldn't be without a factory manual simply because there's info there that you can't find anywhere else. That being said though, they're generally laid out very poorly. I've used factory manuals for a multitude of vehicles over the years and most waste a lot of time finding pertinent and related info when troubleshooting. A few have impressed me but very few.
I have several C4 manuals for various years including for my '95. Among these I have a '96 manual. It underwent major revisions and was substantially improved over the '95 version. Still room for improvement but definitely better.

Because this is the first Vette that I've ever owned, I use the manual all the time to learn what all the buttons and settings are!
