Yes, for sure! I am in a little bit of a challenging period of life regarding free time (2 year old, 6 year old, wife and I both work relatively demanding jobs) so track time will hopefully increase.... some day lol.

Bumping this thread back up. I've been running run -2.0 front and -1.5 rear camber with .1 total toe in per axle. I have 11K miles on this set up with only 1 relatively light track day - so it's essentially a street car. I do love the performance and handling of this set up on the street and...

Correct. The fluid in question is just the gear which is totally separate as you mention.

Correct. Just the GM part is discontinued, the AC Delco part 10-4131 remains (its not new , its been the AC Delco part number for a while)

You have a company car blackwing? Where do you work and are you hiring?

Not saying its oil for aure but if it was me, step 1 would be a new (on spec) oil and filter change and then reassess

Thanks!!

Looks perfect. Looks like the track width both front and rear has been widened a bit vs stock - front and rear look fairly close to flush - definitely a wider track than stock. can you confirm that's the case and no rubbing or handling issues? This is exactly the set up I am looking at and it...

Yea for sure. You referenced the same point ive made. The 4 is actually essentially mid engined with that stubby little 6 smashed into the firewall. I have to think think that is the main ingredient in the secret sauce.

My beef is the lack of revs (which the LT4 and LT1 both suffer from equally). Give me the S62 8400rpm redline from the e90 m3 or perhaps the s85 v10 screaming to 8200 or whatever it is and i would be in heaven. Forced induction of any type is great for performance but kills the soul a bit

I generally agree with that carmudgeon episode and if given the chance i would for sure take an LT1. However, that would make the car more emotive but i dont think it would drive better. Honestly lag is non existent in the 4 and a V8 would add quite a bit of weight in front of the front axle...

I guess i would generally say that if you are running slicks without a roll cage you should think about things. Either youre too slow for slicks (ref: driver mod). Or if youre fast enough (based on your comments you seems to be in this category). to be a the limit on a very capable mps4s you...

If youre pushing that hard and adding slicks you going to be VERY fast and limit handling is going to be scary. I wouldn’t do this in a car without a roll cage. If youre putting slicks on a 3800lb sedan i think that means you bought the wrong car!

Wow. Thats about as awesome of a snow sport car as you can have. But also kind of sad to drive such a special car through the salt and crud!

Its the eagerness. The time and precision from when you deliver the steering input to when the car executes your command. Note i didnt not drive the 5 with precision package. I suspect this is perhaps the only upside of TTV6. That damn LF4 is essentially midengined (the motor sits behind the...
