“Is it worth it?” Seems you answered your question before you asked it since you already own it, no? Monetarily, if/when you go to sell/trade it, no, probably not. $90K for a Whipple GT with extras is roughly $20-25K high. For frame of reference, I was recently shopping for GT350s and came...

I’d say they’re all PS4S and if you want to know for certain call Tire Rack and speak with a tech rep., they’re helpful and generally knowledgeable. They will have data sheets on the specific FP spec differences vs the off the shelf PS4S. That said, in a recent Tire Rack UHP/Max summer tire...

I currently have ‘22 date coded EC Sport02s on my SS sedan and still get 1.9 0-30s and crest 1G lateral on the HUD when acting a fool on some Local hwy u-arounds I attack regularly. But, they’re garage kept and not subjected to harsh winters either.

I’ve had both on my SS sedan that I regularly “exercise” on some good roads. They are very comparable except in 2 specific areas: Wet: The EC Sport and Sport 02s are slightly more resistant to hydroplaning, and, have better longitudinal and lateral grip as well. Cold: obviously max perf...

This is the way. Same thing happened on my SS Sedan after I replaced the water pump. I had the battery disconnected at same time I did the replacement. Then, within 30 or so miles of driving I went for inspection and got the “not ready” sensor error. Took it out to do the specific GM drive...

Yep, it’s beyond ridiculous the level of fear-mongering around the Gen 1 Voodoo. I just got my ‘18 with 21k miles recently and guess what? Full coverage 6 yr extended warranty through my Credit Union, no exclusions. Cost thousands less than even a Ziegler or similar online Ford ESP, no...

Yeah, I know, couldn’t resist.

Underside was totally fine unless you’re trying for concourse show status. And the 6-7 yr old Sport Cups could be totally fine if garage kept and not showing any sign of tread cracking/dry rotting.

Spot on. We’re hitting peak travel season just as gas/oil prices are close to/hitting record highs. Anything transported gets more expensive, so, everything. It won’t affect my consumption any, but I’m lucky. Plus, our other Mustang is a Mach E 4X, so no worries there. I feel bad for people...

This is the same thing that causes runs on gas stations and the toilet paper, bottled water, and milk aisles at grocery stores, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Well, we’ve also had a Mach E 4X since October ‘21. It replaced a ‘17 Pilot Touring that averaged 23mpg over the 55k miles we drove it at approx 18k/yr. The Pilot cost approx. $225-275/month in gas at $2.75-3.00/gal gas prices. The Mach E costs about $70-95/month with our rate of approx...

Yes. I had a set recently in 265/35 and 285/35 on my SS Sedan because they were $625 for all 4 on a Tire Rack close out sale. My opinion is they have great steering response and communication of grip/breakaway and they’re very good in warm temps, dry or wet. However, they’re bad below 55F...

Yes. Those two are one and the same. Built at Elizabeth, South Australia plant on same line as all Commodore SSV Redlines. But yes, it had the Chevy badges and LH drive to be sold here as an SS Sedan lol. So, it’s a real Holden and has also been rebadged.

Not familiar with Ultra Contacts. You mean Sport Contact 6s or 7s? Those are good but wear fast and have no treadwear warranty that I’m aware of. I believe you all down under get the EC Sport 02s labeled as MaxContact MC7s. Go check those out because the tread pattern seems nigh identical to...

Too many better options than the Model Y out there now, and I’m not even talking about the Elon issue. GM SuperCruise is demonstrably better than “FSD”, heck even BlueCruise has tested better than FSD and Autopilot. Plus, the Model Y in all trims rides like an oxcart compared to a comparable...

Opinions vary. That’s for sure. I didn’t see any criticism anywhere, just stated my opinion after having driven them all, along with various foxes, SN95s and S197s mild to wild since 1995. Perhaps the Voodoo does that much to transform the entire experience, idk. As for being a GT350 with a...

Having driven them all, I’d have to say the Mach 1 is like a fully realized GT PP2 rather than a Coyote engined 350. I don’t know why, but that’s the impression I came away with. Not a bad thing to be sure.

You’ll be happy. The first thing Continental did that I really appreciate is they tuned the just off center response to have a very slight lag before the bite happens. This is very nice for S550s and my SS Sedan, which both have very direct and quick steering response (SS more so even). I can’t...

Looks better than my Rockford PW300-12 install. But, I bought it for $179 in 2017 and it still works great so I’ll wait until my bday to pick up the Skar loaded enclosure and a Soundstream or RF mono amp.

Smart decision. Enjoy the Mach 1 HP and the 3160 Yes, this is actually the way.
