Not only did it not seem any faster than the GT350R from a couple years ago, it also didn't seem AS fast as the GT350R. Then again, Vaun Gitten is a drifter, not a driver. Neither car was driven "properly" at their respective events. Ford gives us the best Mustangs they've ever produce, and...
Came away utterly underwhelmed. We're looking for a nice, fun, capable and "luxurious" tow vehicle. Based on what we'll be wanting to two, I narrowed our choices down to the Mercedes AMG GLE63 S Coupe (don't need or want 3 rows), Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, and the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk. We...
Does anybody know of any engine differences between the standard GT350 and the GT350R? I happened upon a video from some guy who believes there are some differences between the two. His only evidence (that I'm aware of) is an assembly line sticker on the valve covers. He has a standard GT350...
I need some assistance in tracking down some FR500S springs. They're made by Eibach, and the Ford Performance part numbers are M-5310-A (front) and M-5560-A (rear). I've already come across that single front spring on ebay and a set of the rear ones also on ebay. If somebody can help me find...
I've noticed that there's a noticeable gap in acceleration force between 3rd and 4th gear on these cars. I never really noticed it before, but many mods later, I'm seeing that the stock 3.55 is taking some fun out of high speed blasts. Don't get me wrong, even with the 3.55, my car still pulls...
Interesting about the HP. Pay attention at 0:58 to 1:11 marks. Matt Farra says Chevy says, 755HP is the "worst case" output. I think that's a load of bunk.
I noticed that Chevy still hasn't completely programmed out that long delay with the paddle shifts on the 8-speed.
He actually made a strong point. When expensive cars are leased more often than purchased, there's really no need for them to be super reliable beyond a typical lease period. Even with outright purchases, the owners of higher end cars don't keep them much beyond 3 or 4 years before trading up...
In my never ending quest to cut weight here and there off my GT500, I'm considering removing the seatbelts and installing a harness bar and harnesses. Has anybody here done that? Are harnesses a pain in the butt to live with? What can I do about the seatbelt light and chime?
Now that I think...
Article says it's a Cadillac exclusive, yet it's being built at the Corvette factory in Bowling Green, KY. Base power to be 500HP. Slightly uprated power to be 550HP/627TRQ. That version might see duty in the C8 Z06 and/or a new Z/28 or a lightened Gen 7 ZL1. All speculation on my part. The...
If so, how expensive are they to own? I was looking up prices for a different car over the weekend, and stumbled across a 991.2 GT3 RS that I wouldn't mind buying. Looking at the mileage on it, the previous owner bailed on it before the first oil change was due.
What are the maintenance costs...
For the past few months, I've been wanting some lightweight aluminum or magnesium suspension parts. Do you guys know where/if I could get some aluminum/magnesium tubed dampeners, steering knuckles, or spindles that fit on the S197? I'd also like to find a strut tower brace that clears the...
