It the 2 years I have had mine, I have seen only one. I saw the same one twice in a one week period in the Spring , but haven't seen it since. I've seen two C8 Corvette's. There are very few of the earlier ones either, as it's very rare to see them either.
Actually Yes. I got pulled over last year for not displaying a front plate (bad luck on my part as he had just finished writing another ticket as I came along) Anyway I looked it up and the fine for improperly displaying the plate is greater than not displaying it at all. So all depends on...
My mistake, I took that statement to mean it would not make redline.
Definitely in 1st and 2nd if you have time to think "this is taking too long, I should upshift", then there is something wrong with the car
It's possible something became overheated and the ECU reduced power until whatever...
You are not providing much info to go on. So you are saying the car will not reach redline? What gear are is this in? The car will not redline in 5th or 6th. If you are in any gear lower than 4th, redline should arrive arrive quite quickly. Also, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but in...
Agree. My Bullitt pulls all the way to redline.......
It's was it's birthday on Saturday (2 years), so too it for a little spin. I was on a freeway on ramp in second and held 4,500 rpm until in straitened out, then floored it. It is like being shot out of a cannon!! Blink more than twice...
Well the OP has been M.I.A. for over 12 months, otherwise we would be probably be closing in on 400 pages, probably 20-30 in the last couple of days....
I am not sure you are too far off with this. It is really loose and rattles. I secured mine with some sticky backed heavy foam pads, and I do not have the 2K rattle. I have struts and did consider removing it. But for now it is still installed.
Well sure, higher RPM = more friction = more wear and tear. But, don't baby it thinking it will last longer, just drive normally....and don't be afraid to give it the beans once it a while. The engine has a 7,400 (7,500) rpm redline for a reason.... You would be doing your yourself and the...
This engine is Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.... Above 4k, it's a different animal...... Just make sure you are away from traffic on a warm dry road and put your foot into it in 2nd at 4-5K... Maybe for your first time, just ease into it...if your not sure what to expect..... You wont be able to...
Well, if you are breaking in the engine, then RPM is what you want. I can't recall what the manual says, but I believe it is <5,000 rpm for the first 1,000 miles
I do not know the max speed (red-line) in first is, but I believe 2nd = 73 mph, 3rd = 113 mph, 4th = 163 mph
I can somewhat understand people who DD their car putting in the cheaper gas to save money, but why buy a performance car and then not want all of the performance. I put 91 in my 2.0 Escape because I want all the HP, so for my Bullitt, it's 94 here in Canada.
