It's asphalt, and we know how delicate carbon fiber is. Right? Oh wait... it's actually tough as fuck. Never mind. ;-)

Look what I just got from @Terrance Sig :-) The sun is low in the sky so the lighting kinda sucks. But it's here and it's gorgeous. I'm not going to try and install it until the 3D printed fender wickers are here. So it'll sit in my garage waiting. Looking forward to seeing it on the car...

It's part of the same Infrastructure bill that OP is referencing. And again, it's entirely up to NHTSA on whether and how that gets implemented.

You've said nothing that can be interpreted as disappointing. I was merely answering the OP's post, which has a pile of questions in it that NO ONE CAN ANSWER right now. Theorize all you like, tin-foil all you want, it's not going to amount to a hill of beans in this discussion because the...

This topic will immediately devolve into government bashing, tin-foil-hat folks complaining about over-reach, etc. I promise it will. We need to be very clear on this: nothing's been decided by NHTSA yet. They will determine how the bits of that awful Infrastructure Act will be implemented...

Any photos of the pieces together?

Hey @Terrance Sig have you seen this thread about some sort of clips needed for the CF splitter? You've been under both kinds of cars I assume? Do the CF splitters need another part to attach properly to the front end, or is it just the same bolt holes that the non-CF splitter uses?

You honestly think I'll be caught dead in public parking next to your car if you get that color? ;-)

It wouldn't surprise me. GM re-uses most of their colors in one way or another, and adding green was exactly what they did for the C8's "baby diarrhea" yellow. So your impression is probably spot on. Sean, you have better taste than that, I know you do. Of course... you DID buy two bright...

Funny: one of mine (the fox red one) is Zeus as well. Sunday morning: loaded up in the BigRedTruck, and off on a 2.5 hour drive to see my lady friend in PA: Later that night, Hercules decided to sit on Zeus' back, which wasn't what I'd intended: (My hairy legs, too. Ignore those).

Great idea Terrance. Thanks for thinking that one up!

It's been a busy week or so. Last weekend, off to Poor-sha's "garage" (haha) for a custom 4-wheel alignment. Results: a good compromise between street and track. This past week: to the dealer for a brake and differential fluid flush now that I've finally passed the 1500 mile mark. Then...

That's not .. exactly... what happens. The are dyno-driven, but not anywhere NEAR redline. It's done for a quick emissions test. And they aren't "beating the crap" out of them, either. As I said at the beginning of this thread: the engine doesn't need a break-in. The differential does...

I'd imagine with a large enough pair of balls and hitting T10 perfectly at SPR Main, 140 down the main straight wouldn't be out of the question either.

Sounds like the constraints are loosening up. Good news!

They weren't on constraint when you ordered your car. They are, now. No one gets them now unless they order the hyper-expensive Anniversary package (which isn't available any longer). Until they come off constraint, it doesn't matter how special you think you are, you're not getting them. ;-)...

Sure folks, "only way to fly" and "worth it to you" assuming you can get them. :-)

You can look up "Semi-aniline leather" online to get a better description of it. The reason the cost is so high is that it includes the carbon fiber seat backs. Those are worth substantially more than the leather itself. And they're probably also on constraint until GM's carbon fiber supply...

I feel like I lost valuable IQ points reading the OP. Sorry for the click. What a crock of shit.

Can someone check my work here? I want to get another set of OEM wheels and pressure sensors. I believe these are the satin black 5BW wheels: Front: 84319218 (need 2) Rear: 84319222 (need 2) Sensors: 13538760 (need 4) Sensor nuts: 13581557 (need 4) Look right?
