This blacked-out front grill garbage needs to stop... It looks good if done right, but you can’t just stick that on everything because “it’s the cool thing the 20-somethings are into”. The auto industry needs to stop puking stuff out and thoroughly look at the design of a car in its entirety -...

I d I do the same. Matt Bell, who used to drive for Stevenson in the Camaros for GS, was an avid Camaro forum guy and would do a similar thing. Definitely garners more fans and fandom for a team. I hope Epiphany gets another opportunity like this next season.

The other part is the TI-VCT system. I cannot comment on the design book-ends, but I will say, I am sure there is a maximum viscosity at which something like the VCT solenoids do not work that well. Just a thought point...

Yup. This. And those anti-wear additives you speak of have been reduced API/ILSAC rating to API/ILSAC rating since the "articles in question" came out. Yes, there have been other additives put in as compensation of what these additives used to do, but they are not as effective. If you haven't...

And as the years have gone by, the anti-wear protection in oils has gone lower and lower due to emissions contributions and affecting emissions components. Also, many of your typical, off the shelf examples have scewed a bit to the thinner end of viscosity ratings range (partly due to synthetics...

I am pleased to see soo much positive things happening for KOHR and Dean. So much kinder, racing spirit and sportsmanship there! I hope to see the same or better for them next season.

The 82 has been an aggressive bunch this season. It’s beyond me how their actions are acceptable. I watched the first half and for sure thought they’d 1. get penalized or 2. wreck-out... ...Then I see they WON. WTF IMSA.

Watching IMSA CTSCC and PWC GTS, I can say the Camaro is not bad in the straights, but is at a disadvantage. In respect to CTSCC, at VIR, the Camaro had a hard time with the AMG, 570S and M4. Laguna's broadcast, for whatever reason, only really focused on (showed) the top 3 or 4 positions in...

Uh, not sure what race you're watching in regards to the Camaro and it's straight power on track compared to other cars... Agreed on the restrictions on the Mustang; however, the car has proved to be pretty damn fast, when not overly BoPed... again, not sure what races you were watching...

Pretty fair article CD wrote post LL: https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2018-ford-mustang-gt-performance-package-level-2

"I know that stick-shifts aren't for everyone, but 1. the Mustang GT's automatic transmission ($1,595) is an absolute buzzkill. No matter what driving mode you're in, and no matter if the gear lever is in Drive or Sport, the automatic is poorly matched to just about every driving style. 2...

Right. Like the 2017-18 vs 2019 Camaro ZL1 front not changing, a lot of work went into making the front end as efficient and to the functional performance goals that a re-work just wouldn't make sense. In addition, particular to Ford, I believe that there was no intention to have the GT350...

The Tremec used to use a gear-driven speedo off the outputshaft in the T56 days. When things went electronic, and into the TR6060 days, the worm gear on the outputshaft was replaced with a tone wheel. You can see it above the bearing this picture is pointing to: The MT82 references off of the...

Yeah, IDK. Maybe. Rebel Rock is committed to a second car next season. In PWC there are two Blackdog Speedshop cars and two Robinson Racing cars. I would expect both to be back next season. In Europe there are two V8 Racing cars in Euro GT4 (Mustang just joined in that series with 1 car). GM...

Norm, the 2011+ S197 and S550 use a sensor for speed, not a gear-driven cable.

I think what the guy is trying to say is that he replaced the MT82 with the Magnum XL, all else the same... So, he had 3.55's and still has 3.55's. That's how I read it. If the guy bought everything as a kit, there should be a "converter" box for the speedometer. The problem isn't necessarily...

No excuse for not grabbing a trophy spot. But, yeah, the added fuel capacity and flow is quite a bit, alone, to put together kick-ass pit stops to gain positions. The significant weight reduction is going to help fuel economy, tire wear and braking significantly. The power is much needed for the...

I think the BoP adjustment that IMSA made was 2-steps forward instead of a needed 1-step: I can agree with the increased power with the 2mm increase in restrictor size - the car was down on pace down straights. I can also agree with a little more fuel - but 4.0L more? Maybe 1.0L or 2.0L... The...

I used to work with dealers. I will say this, and it is a statement towards all OE's: The quality of the service industry gets worse and worse all the time; the competency of techs is receding and definitely not following the advancements of technology.

They can do that, sure. Why many people blur-out their license plate in photos or remove their license plate all together. The dealership can also make a call based on an examination of the car or if someone tells the dealer that they brought the car to a track (trust me, people do that)...
