    Replacement tire recommendations

    Cup 2s would be even worse in cold weather. Summer tires are designed to have the most traction when things are warm and have worse traction than all seasons when things are colder. At least in the GT500 the Cup 2s are SLOWER in straight line speed and provide less traction as one provides more...

    288 Miles and an engine failure

    My car is different from original poster’s problems. My car had roughly 3,600 miles on it when this all happened including several track days. I’m the only one that has filled the tank since it was new (the car arrived near empty on gas when it was shipped to me) and have never overfilled it. I...

    288 Miles and an engine failure

    if it's a flaw its one in the fuel and/or emissions systems and not the engine itself.

    288 Miles and an engine failure

    GM engineering I know wanted everything that came off my car sent to them and wanted a LOT of data collected on the car. That delayed by several weeks me getting it back.

    288 Miles and an engine failure

    just in time to sit in the garage for the 3 inches of snow that's about to hit! but seriously i am glad it isn't sitting around the dealers anymore. it's definitely much safer sitting in my garage vs there

    288 Miles and an engine failure

    Car is FINALLY back after nearly 3 months with not only a new long block, but a new gas tank and much, much more. It sounds like what happened was the evap canister or something else with gas tank emissions filled up with fuel & that was causing the ecu to think everything was running rich &...

    CT5-V 2023 CT5V Blackwing - Green Filter Installed/Part #

    I’d never use an oiled cotton filter on a car like this. They may flow more but that’s bc they don’t do a good job of doing what an air filter is suppose to do which is filter air. You’re not gonna notice any power difference (assuming there is any) either on car that has such a high baseline if...

    1500 miles for rear diff. Just don’t do hard launches or track use until then. You can hammer the engine after 500.

    288 Miles and an engine failure

    If I do that it could be well over a year if I got back in line now to get another. Plus msrp is way more for 23s vs 22s. I also spent a bunch having PPF put on the entire car

    Dealer sent me a pic of my new long block November 4th & has communicated exactly zero since then. Closing in on the 2 month mark since I first brought it in…

    Girodisc Rotors - any takers?

    Bad idea. The magride is specifically tuned for the CCB. Changing the rotors to much heavier steel will throw that off
