Well I just got sick and tired of my C8 as a street driver. That low red line OHV 6500 rpm engine just shouldn’t be in a so called exotic sports car. You hold a gear and even with the Z51 exhaust the engine in track mode is just quite. No engine noise at all. Only in WOT does the sound enter the cabin. No manual either. Traded last year for a manual mach 1. Much more visceral experience from the sound and manual trans. In order to get a higher red line and a good amount of sound you need the Z06. But that will cost you over $125K and the wait is forever. Ive been on a wait list at Ciocca since November 2021. #385 and probably going to pass because I’m sure another price increase is coming. Sorry Chevy but all the hype on the C8 Z51 hasn’t lived up to a satisfying sports car. I got over $12K back over what I paid for the C8 so it didn’t break my bank account. But today that would not have happened and with over 100,000 on the road and they are everywhere. Mach 1. VS C8 Z51. Hands down the mach 1 is much more fun on the street. $25K less money also.

I just did the full Steeda setup on my 23’ Mach and I have to say that is much better than I expected. I expected greatness, of course, but my expectations were so far exceeded!

Absolutely awesome drive. 10:36min mark starts the Lap and shows his talent. Notice the left foot braking, the super smooth shifting, extra calm demeanor, passes where only experienced drivers would attempt. I'm just glad they used a M1 to show case his talents. Very enjoyable.

DadzMach, can you confirm what the full Steeda suspension set up included?

I just did the stop the hop handling kit plus the magnaride dual rate springs, g trac brace and subframe connectors. The whole car feels tied together, no twisting under hard accelleration, just straight line forward power, no body roll in the corners at all, very solid planted feel,

Exactly! It’s truly amazing how it handles now. I love taking 90 degree right hand turns now, I haven’t found the point of it getting sketchy yet, which is crazy.
I have to say that I am very impressed with Steeda products, have been using them for 20+ years. Everything that I put on my car, for the most part same as you with a couple extras has far exceeded my expectations of how it would be to drive.
Enjoy it and drive it safely!
