So you think a 4.2L V8 is going to get equivalent gas mileage to the 2.3L I4 Ecoboost in the Mustang?

Well, that clearly doesn't qualify because it wasn't a new engine getting a power bump in its second year of production. If there has been a bump between 2011 and 2012 it would meet the specified criterion. No one is saying cars never increase in power. Also, I would say that he definitely...

The LS6 first used in the 2001 Z06 for a 20 hp bump in 2002. Of course, this isn't GM we're talking about, but it isn't entirely unprecedented, though I don't think it is going to happen.

Tastes the same, though.

I'm probably going to crap at some point, regardless.

Are you sure you looked at a Magnetic and not a Guard? Magnetic has no green in it at all. Maybe it's a crapshoot, but mine also has no orange peel, and I think it actually looks better on cloudy days than sunny.

Just because someone can't afford something doesn't mean they won't buy it.

I don't know about the Camaros, but they definitely did ship Z07s during the winter, which resulted in a bunch of them cracking and consequently being replaced under warranty.

They had to replace a bunch of Cup 2s because they crack when it gets below 30 or so. So it's not a really matter of someone goosing the throttle during transport, but the tires can't even sit out in the temperature or they get ruined. I hope people either live in a warm climate or have heated...

Personally, I'd rather have to do a $5 CAGS mod to get rid of the 1-4 shift than pay the $1300 GG tax.

Yeah, I have one, too. They definitely stay in quiet mode when they are in quiet mode. http://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c7-z06-discussion/3652105-stealth-mode-exhaust-sound-in-sport-track-mode.html

They are on the Z06/Z07 as well.

I bet the Sport Cup 2 aren't appreciably more expensive than the PSSs on the regular GT350. The Z07's SC2s are actually slightly less expensive than the PSSs on the non-Z07 Z06.

The Z06 does stay in quiet mode at WOT, even to the extend that people have damaged the system (at LS, I believe) by keeping it closed for too long at WOT, so I would be careful with this on the GT350 as well.

Yes, it certainly is! *Looks nervously at wife's Ecoboost and begins to sweat*

Yeah, they work very well.

TARP was brought up because that is the name of the program that is referred to as the "government bailout." Ford received a $5.6 billion government loan around the same time Tesla received theirs. Both of these loans were separate from TARP and were distinct from the financial bailout. It is...

This link has some good procedures that work very well: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/acxkaf44ctxbsgb/AACIMr-qZl7vdwVcVlC5djtQa?dl=0

Did you read that link? It says right in it that Tesla's loans were unrelated to TARP (i.e., the government bailout). Also, it is impossible for Tesla to charge an ADM since they don't have dealers.

And Ford got a $5.9 billion dollar loan at the same time, which they have also paid back with interest (as had Tesla). It is incorrect the say that the government got no return on its investment, as not only was interest paid, an enormous amount of income and social security tax was not lost...
