Auto's/DCT's are easier to drive and are quite nice on the ol' daily commute- and I'll admit they can be fun on a road course because I can pretend I'm driving an LMP1 car. But if I'm buying a fun...

I wonder how many other auto-manufactures are guilty of cheating EPA's "super difficult" emissions tests?

I just generally miss the track days. I never once ran secret street though. It really sucks not having some place to drive your car around.

Traditionally yes; Z06's came in hard-tops only and were targeted towards the weekend track junkie. But I guess the chassis is a lot stiffer this generation so they made a vert/auto to appeal to the...

At least driver-less cars will clear some of the bad drivers off of the road. Kinda like what Jeremy Clarkson said about people who have no interest in cars shouldn't be driving anyways....

I'm so happy with GM. Good for them. Challenging all those BS naysayers.

It kind of is a special edition car over 'just a track car'. A while back GM had a Z06x and camaro x - matte white, no interior, red roll bar etc. Track prep cars. People went nuts over them and I...

Was a ZR1 too... damn. Not a fan of the C4. But kinda have a soft spot for them... especially the ZR1.

Wasn't the C4 vette one of the first cars to pull 0.8 or 1g on the skid pad?

Texas speed 228R: 228R 228/228 .588"/.588" (112 or 114 LSA)

Both are the go to cam for the C5 road racers/ Vette forum. Nice low lift...

agree with Hallowed_point. Audi 4.2L V8 should have been on that list. 8000+ RPM Rev's.:drool:

Space and heat/soak?

There is not a lot of room under the hood of these cars. You start plumbing turbos all over the place and things get hot quick. Not good.

I used a Diablosport Predator to tune mine out (I had the 6L). had zero issues with the tuner or the canned tunes. Was easy to use apart from it being an older part number so I couldn't update it.

Partly yes. The car is light and has a powerful engine and is shaped like a fish. I think my average fuel economy dropped by maybe 2 mpg with the skip-shift removed. Actually I think it dropped...

You are comparing cars that cost much more than a cadillac. Yup. Sure is disappointing considering the 200K price difference.

Get a Z06. I don't know anyone that has ever been disappointed with one. Ever.

Kind of reminds me of the Camaro SSX and C6Z06X:

The C6GS coupe is one of my favourites. Especially in black. I would ask how you like the MGW shifter over the stock one... but I guess you haven't been driving it around much.

NEVER EVER EVER touch your car with a car wash brush. You'll be sorry. They are dirt magnets. I laugh at people who use them to wash their prized possessions.

You'll never get your car perfect...

true.
But you don't use all 600hp 24/7. Or maybe you're a lead footed hooligan and you do :burnout:

I was only kidding. A few years back some dude showed up to revelstoke with a mountain sled in the back of his baja. Many lols were had.
