You sure about that? It's unlike GM to change the programming of the magnaride given the changes in rotational unsprung weight. They do it for things like traction (rubber grip or aero), and what the car is tuned to do (track vs road). Look to the new C8 Z06 and note that when you option to...

I know folks appreciate the track learning you can get from SM, but I do now, and have for quite some time, believed that they're a source of a lot of misinformation when it comes to technicalities of the cars they teach in. I've called them several times (on forums) regarding horseshit they've...

Thanks Rob. Interesting my sales guy is telling me 4000 vs 3800. Hm.

Status 4000. Getting closer still.

Maybe. All I know is: I'll know when it starts moving. And someone might be helping that along. Maybe.

We shall see. Were I a betting man, I'd bet closer to a week or two. Maybe less. ;-)

Looks like my 5BW went to 3800 yesterday. Closerrrrrr...

Thanks @Rob. This is going to be a torturous week. ;-)

Woo! Thanks Rob!

Hey, can we get back to the real important topic here? When's @Rob going to update that order status chart again? ;-)

Hrm. I think you're going to win the race then. My 5BW hasn't even been built. Maybe I'll move the goalposts of the bet. Yeah, that's it! The front splitter! No way you'll have that ready before my car's here. :)

Hey @Rob I assume you'll catch this on your next order scan, but it looks like my TPW has been kicked a week to 04/03. At least that's what my dealer sees on autopartners.

Current TPW: 04/03/2023. But that's already slid by one week. And lord only knows how long it'll be, once built, before I get it. You've got some time. ;-)

I'm still wondering which is going to get here first: my 5BW or your spoiler? ;-)

I've done the LT4 engine build experience back when it was still a thing; this for my '17 Z06. The engine builder is a very active participant in the building process. The things done by computer: Torquing various bolts down Checking and recording said torques Applying gaskets One other thing...

To be clear, that's only in first and second gears, and it's by 25-30% reduction in torque output. The reason GM did that was because of the enhanced traction the mid-engine design of the car gives the rear end of the car. That extra traction puts an increased load on the transaxle, which is...

Do we have to order one online if we've already given you an EBay deposit? I assume not?

Miiiiiiine! :)

All generalizations are false, but generally the folks piloting the autobahns are of a significantly higher caliber of driver than those of us here in the states. That includes the folks going slower. They get the whole lane discipline thing much better as well as reading road conditions...

Ah, good. Dazzling oncoming drivers because you don't want to get the OTA. Well done, sir. (Don't be a dick).
