I canāt say enough good things about the Michelin AS4. Itās honestly funny to me how good it is at all times, and how close it is in dry conditions to my summer tires. I run it in 255/40/19 as my winter tire. AS4 is the OEM non performance package Corvette tire for a reason now, itās very very...
I gave it zero thought and have ran the tune in rain without issue for 2 years. The vent hole isnāt that big and it would take quite the inches/hour to really flood it. However, your question isnāt without some validity, might be worth it to post in the thread for that tune specifically to see...
Weight concerns aside since thatās really up to you: The firewall brace was noticeable to me when I first added it (and this was without the strut tower brace). It makes turn in a little more immediate and is noticeable in something like a slalom. More noticeable in DD scenarios, it got rid of...
I run 285/35 19 square on 19x10 +35
Yes, I get some occasional tugging up front especially if there are ruts in the road. But itās not as violent as some descriptions I read prior to having wide front tires. Worth the trade off to me for handling and the ability to rotate tires front and rear...
For rock guards, there are a few threads on them. Iām very happy with these.

Any wheel and tire more aggressive than factory offset is going to eventually throw something on the...
I use it quite a lot, even more after an X pipe. Itās pretty boomy in the rear seat otherwise and I have toddler back there who deserves a chance to ruin his hearing later haha. You also get to hear a nice intake tone when there is less exhaust volume. I do find myself driving faster in quiet if...
For some perspective on price: I bought my 2018 GT 401a with multiple options (not PP) for $32.5K used @ 12k miles in January 2019. Even in this wild market, itās possible prices fall in winter when people arenāt after sports coupes.
Youāre right about the torque management in low gears being a thing. I notice it separately from TC. Iām not positive itās actually better with the FRPP tune. 1st still feels like itās holding something back, because sometimes Iāll short shift into 2nd while being aggressive on throttle and I...
There are other sites, but I found this when my SCCA region moved registration here. I get an email each month with every event within 300 miles of me. https://www.motorsportreg.com/
Itās really obvious why there is more low end torque: itās a 91+ tune. Therefore FRPP can always use more aggressive timing at low rpm, which gives you more torque. It says +40 lb-ft at 2,000 RPM right in the marketing material. Itās less that they held back the car from the factory, and more...
Another member here got SVE to approve an R357 19x10 square set over the phone. I wanted those for a long time but ended up with X500 because square and rotation was more important; now I love the look and Iām glad I chose them.
For your existing cover, could you hook some suction cups onto the sides that are falling down and put them on the rear quarter windows? Probably wonāt solve your whole problem but itās something.
Shedding and cleaning the carpet is gonna be what it is either way. Some anti static or maybe a...
Turns out itās easy enough to find something related online. Hereās a blog post copying an interview from Autoweek. I got about 5 search hits all with the same wording š It covers VW emissions with manuals and how rev hang can avoid lean air/fuel conditions and reduce NOx...
That could also be a result of engine and wheel speed not being matched at the moment you get back on throttle. I do that plenty when Iām winding it out and shifting aggressively at redline, still a skill I donāt have mastered.
Yes Iāve noticed this as well. Makes me wonder if the strategy is to prefer rpm to be a little high vs a little low on upshift in the case the car is being wound out through gears. I will ignorantly speculate as to why: I think it makes more sense to slow the engine a little at mesh vs...
Itās really surprising how much smoother the MT-82 cars are to drive with this kit. Just Putting around DD or driving hard, itās just better. The factory tunes rev hang is so obviously bad once itās gone.
