Your neighbor needs to work on their parking skills, that curb rub on the rear wheel is ghastly

Sold a '17 SS 6MT for not much less than I paid for it after putting 40k miles on it. 95% of my driving is mile high elevation or higher and the turbo 6 just spanks a na V-8. The V-8 certainly wins in the sound dept but the 4BW is better in every way except for maybe comfort.

Sport mode PTM, floor it, dump the clutch, keep the throttle pinned for no lift shift. Its pretty violent compared to normal shifting and first gear vanishes very quickly and there is not much over run before the rev limiter hits like a brick wall so shift by 6k.

The brake ducts are for track use only unless you want to blast your rotors with every piece of junk on the road. Those plastic pucks should be for inserting into the coilovers to raise up the front to clear the ramp on a flat bed tow truck. All is explained in the owners manual.

Damn, guess I need to start shopping around. USAA used to be a great deal but I guess all the PFC's financing their Dodge Hellcat's at 25% and then wrapping them around a tree have really hosed the rates for the rest of us.

Been with USAA for almost 20 years and their claims service is top shelf but Ive never really shopped around since it was always the easy option. My 6 mos premium is $1275 with a $500 deductible and I was wondering where that falls relative to other providers. I know it varies by state, driving...

The brake dust that collects on low-pressure surfaces after an extensive spirited drive is pretty remarkable. This was after basically back-to-back tanks of gas hammer down on very remote twisty roads. The dust on the edge of the tail lights was a first for sure.

I just noticed this yesterday, not a gripe really but just seems sorta silly. On the sport cluster display (mine is always in this display regardless of driving mode), the tachometer needle is displayed UNDER the rev numbers but above the hash marks. And whoever did the program animation also...

Thats...strange. That part number only shows up on 2 wholesale parts suppliers and both list it as a special order item. AC Delco and gmparts.com dont even acknowledge that part exists, neither does Rock Auto

The current PF63 is the one you want, part# 12707246 The PF63E is actually not newer, its been discontinued, it was implemented as a fix for the older, original PF63 (part# 89017525). AC Delco revamped their filter line, discontinued the PF63E, issued a new part # for the PF63, and that is the...

No lift shift on the 5 makes less sense than the 4 and Id be surprised if it really made much difference. On the 4, you get to keep the turbos spooled up and the no lift shift is substantially faster than a regular shift which dumps all your boost. The 5 is s/c'd so its already spooled up. As...

So yes, the car will tell you when the oil change is due via the oil life monitor. Good rule of thumb depending on how hard you use it is to swap the oil around 25-30% life remaining for normal use and bump that up with track/autocross/hard driving. That being said, I chose to do my own oil...

I notice in my 4 that if you dont hold the clutch and the brake until the engine is fully and completely started then it will abort and stop the start. Caught me off guard a few times early on. Stands to reason that someone who owns a vehicle business and is moving them around all day would...

I began exploring north of the soft redline once 500mi went away but only a few times passing vehicles on 2 lane roads at 2 lane road speeds. I didnt do any launches or no lift shifting until after 1500mi and didnt hammer it on twisty roads until after I swapped the diff fluid which I got...

So the 4BW went on a ripper of a drive today, ~370mi of which 240mi were a twisty eden of bliss. Basically 8-9 25mi sections of rural obscurity with intervening higher speed 2 lane highway in the middle of nowhere. That was the intention. Somehow, someway, someone thought to do a full blown...

My take on the wing is that I cant see it at all in my rear view so I dont even think about it. On my SS, it had a smaller wing and I could see 100% of it all the time. So by that metric, this wing is tanglibly smaller. If your issue is with external aesthetics, I get it, but honestly I think...

So there is a bit of a hidden mode called "Competion Mode" which doesnt limit wheel spin. Set PTM to Sport. Then press the traction control button 2x, give it about a second or two between presses and you should see a message on the right side of your instrument display. You should be able to...

Yeah, it was a wet winter and it makes sense that section of 180 that twists through the small canyon would have let some rocks loose. Hasnt rained in over a month though so Im hoping its clear sailing.

Well, depends on how frisky Im feeling, theres a 170mi loop near the Greer/Alpine/Springerville area. Or, really commit to a day of jubilation and do a 360mi loop down to Three Way and back up thru Morenci on 191, which is a Varsity commit and what I would offer as the longest, best, most absurd...

2300mi on the clock and swapped the rear diff fluid out today in anticipation of taking a rip on my favorite motorcycle route thru a remote area of eastern AZ later this week. At 6-7k'+ in elevation I dont expect to get anywhere near 100% out of the car but Im sure that will still be more than...
