Snapped a pic at 8888.8 miles. I then realized I should have done it in 8th gear and set the cruise control for 88 MPH⦠oh well. Maybe when itās all 9ās Iāll try again. :like:
Agreed, I think a lot of that comes from someone coming out of a 3-5 year old car and jumping into a new one with no squeaks or rattles, plus fresh shocks & bushings. This happened to me recently. In 2024 I traded in my 2021 Expedition Limited for the exact same thing only a 2024 instead...
Gotta say, the 650 definitely looks better in person. I was out on the interstate last night and saw a black 650 GT and I was surprised at how wide it looked in person. Maybe the car was lowered not sure but it looked good. Guys license plate said āIāLL RUNā lmao. I had my Expedition so I...
Maybe try connecting with the service manager and explain what just happened, and ask him the best way to get your desired service done since the service writer who scheduled you obviously didnāt get it done. If that doesnāt work maybe a fellow member on this board will have a suggestion based...
Respectfully, thatās why I said the lack of a pro driver is a factor. It was absolutely no disrespect to the engineer who drove the ZR1ā¦Iām sure heād mop the floor with me and he did a great job. But he also didnāt want to put his company car into a wall since they pay his salary lol. So...
5 to 10 seconds is a big deal if true⦠Misha certainly knows the track and is more experienced than any of us to comment on it (not that that would or should stop us from doing so lol).
Willing to bet a very healthy amount of money that isnāt happening (at least on this generation GTD). That would be a massive redoing of too many systems for a mid model update. That supercharger is capable of more power anyway, so I suspect theyāll turn that up a bit.
Respectfully disagree. If someone is CONSISTENTLY FAST, they race for a living and make big money doing it. No one is going to say: āWell I could make $5M a year racing for Mercedes F1, but I like being a cubicle for $250K a year, so Iāll just do that.ā Those that can, do. Itās that...
Well, ask yourself: did they need a pro driver to beat the GTD? Nope. So if the GTD manages to get a slightly faster time down the road, GM can now say: āOK, now weāll use a pro driver tooā. No reason for GM to empty the magazine up front.
And you never answered my question from the last...
If you think there is no decent time difference between an actual pro driver (like the GTD driver) and the engineer that drove the ZR1 (hint: he doesnāt race cars professionally), then there is nothing I can say to you at this point. Please remember teams pay big bucks to actual race car...
ZR1 has a good bit more potential left than the GTD IMO. Lighter, more powerful, and driver mod still on the table. I think there are several seconds easyā¦not sure about a 6:30 though. Iāll leave that to the interwebs to decide. :)
Z06 versions of all trim levels (1LZ, 2LZ, 3LZ) can be had $12K under sticker without trying too hard. My boss is trying to buy a ZR1 and even at $40K over sticker he canāt get one, so probably going to do a 3LZ Z06 as a āconsolation prizeā for this year until ZR1 production catches up.
Nothing more expensive than a cheap set of headers, unfortunately. I know thatās not a lot of help right now but will hopefully warn someone who reads this thread down the road.
Agree with @NGOT8R on process to āclearanceā the headers you have.
Who has 1000 kW capacity to run the necessary charger?!? Thatās no small detail lol. Thatās 2000 amps at 480 volts. Your home has 200 amps at 240 volts. That 5 minute charge just became 100 minutes and thatās if you donāt run any other power in your home for anything else. And even at a...
