Just checked GasBuddy and it's $4.54 around here, but our Governor suspended the state gas tax for now.

I can't tell you the price around here now. I'll use GasBuddy to find the best deal, but I'm not driving out of my way to get it. At this point in my life the price of gas doesn't really matter.

Don't know what to tell you. The Michelin Pilot Sport 4S has a TWR of 300, so they're kinda hard to begin with. They had a year of driving on them, so they were full tread and sat out in the UV cross linking the whole time. I don't have any experience with a tire on track that wasn't shaved...

If I ever get tired and bored with my S550, only then I will get a C8.

No. The CLUTCH master cylinder. For clarity's sake are you having problems with your brakes, or your clutch? Although with this model the brake master reservoir supplies fluid to both the brake and clutch master cylinders, beyond that they are two separate circuits.

$4.19 at Sam's, pretty much $4.25 to $4.35 anywhere else. These days I drive the mustang so infrequently I don't bother to check prices.

Swapped in a Steeda Tri-Ax short shifter that did not want to shift into after an hour or so of enthusiastic driving in the North GA mountains. Put the OEM unit back in and left it at that.

Buy one of these for life. https://www.schumacherelectric.com/products/battery-load-tester/ A good friend of mine has one for years, and with five cars/trucks I borrow it at least once a year

Around here it seems that even with the shipping cost they still end up cheaper. I also love the choice of manufacturers and pricing for any given part.

RockAuto!

What's "winter hibernation"? ;)

No. I would look for something different, like a C8 or AMG SL Roadster

I have Borla S-types and an FRPP X-pipe. It is loud when cold, no doubt about it, but it not too loud once hot, unless you get on it. It's a great set-up. Aren't there basically three types of muffler: touring, sport, and extreme? And the volume is more or less inversely based on size?

I tried the Steeda, but eventually went back to OEM. It just felt right.

Flywheel, disc, or pressure plate warped? Throw out bearing surface(s) worn uneven? My '66 did the same thing and the one of the clutch fork ears was worn much more that the other.
