Update for you,
Although the SC3"s I have on the 350 are not stock size they performed great on track saturday. I was reluctant to change out the fronts even though they showed some wear before track day and I got a solid 3 sessions out of them before the fronts got greasy. Mind you I think I...
(Car and Driver) Lightning lap is a super fun reference for sure. I always enjoy it. However, you know that's not same driver same day right? For instance to come to that conclusion you are comparing a 1LE driven in 2017 by ? with a Mach 1 driven in 2022 by ? Like I said its fun to see those...
Track day was today. All I can say is what a car. Its going to be quite a while before I can consistently drive it at its limits. It feels so nimble for its weight and that high end powerband is super fun.
Zero complaints about the GY SC3's although I have nothing to compare them to but the...
Ok I know I'm gonna get bashed for this. I'm not a brand fan boy. Love fast Cars. Here we go:
For the price you are going to pay for a M1, an SS 1LE is going to spank it at any track any day. Assuming same driver skill. Its also a GM parts bin car. No bespoke parts to worry about should you...
Interesting issues you had. I bought mine used. The carfax showed like 15 trips to the dealer for "electrical" in the first year. My wife said thats a red flag. I said nope....looks like he got it all worked out for me LOL.
I have 325 on the rear and 295 on the front. Stock wheels. They feel great on the street. I'll tell you how they perform on the track Saturday when I get home.
Actually pulling over people that clearly have some money and writing citations is their primary job. Just sayin....
I mean as long as you're not famous or a politician, judge or fellow LE. Then you can do whatever you want.
That would be awesome! But won't happen. I'll bet dollars to donuts that ZO6 is the swan song for the HP American NA V8. Also Camaro is sadly being discontinued (again) next year. As any capitalist knows, when you don't have competition the consumer loses. :(
The next generation of track cars...
Far enough. Do you find you have to change your approach to the track based on the characteristics of the car? If so on a shorter track is the 500 umm...ungainly?
Geeze, last time I saw this much Voodoo bashing was on Camaro 5 lol. Is it the most reliable engine out there? Who cares? Who buys a track car for "longevity"? I dunno. I think Ford made this car for 1 thing, track performance. Win goes to Ford. and I am NOT a brand fanboy. caveat: the only...
So you tracked them both and prefer the 500? I'm asking because I passed on a 500 just because of the weight, HP and torque curve and went with the 350. Now I based this on nothing related to these cars mind you. My previous track car was a gen 5 SS 1LE and I drove a ZL1 and it just felt...
