It's a tax. The customer "owns" this one.

This is the first GM performance car I've owned since my '96 Corvette that did not come with run-flats. I'm displeased about that, but I understand the financial challenges involved for such a limited production car. Getting Michelin to spin up a specific ZP in the appropriate size along with...

Nothing's changed at all. He's using VLC just like you are, but he's altering the file instead of just playing. The PDR vids have always "just played" with VLC without altering them at all. But if you want them to play in QT, you need to alter the file.

The leading lip of the front fenders.

For those ordering Terrance's splitter, these deflectors won't work with it. They'll only work with the OEM splitter.

In Terrance's specific case, I suspect it's less a monetary value concern, and more of a time value thing.

Had UPS told me that, I'd have someone hanging by their nut hairs. Jus' saying. Those look great and I can't wait to see one of them in my own hands. ;-) The torturous part will be NOT mounting it to the car before the deflectors are also done and shipped.

Update: prior to this afternoon at lunch, the last time I drove the car was Sunday evening. Since Sunday, I've left the key on my nightstand (which I HATE DOING!). Today, the car barked right to life, no problems at all, and the camera mirror was working perfectly. So it might have been the...

This is basically a non-statement. Of course you're "adding wear" to your car. You're adding it every single time you drive it. Aggressively or not. How much wear and tear is the question. And with "flogging" it'll depend on what you're doing. Aggressive launches? The clutch is going to...

I understand and appreciate the suggestions regarding the tender. But this is a brand new battery and shouldn't require tending at this point in its life. Not unless there's a slow drain on it, of course.

Hey gang - This may end up being a, "take it to the dealer, that's why you have the warranty, you dope!" question, but here goes: new car as of Memorial Day weekend, just turned 800 miles on the odo. Over the past week or so I've noticed two problems when starting the car: It fights with me...

I've said it before, and I'll continue to say it whenever needed: the folks at SM know how to instruct driving. They're not engineers, know nothing about the engineering or robustness of the cars and components, and shouldn't be trusted with imparting that knowledge. Basically, a long winded...

I've been driving high HP GM cars since I graduated college a... while ago. One benefit of that is that I've had time to adjust to each generation's increasing torque outputs along the way instead of going directly from a "pedestrian" level car to a 670HP monster. That build-up time helped. A...

What's the 5BW's clutch rated at? This might be a somewhat smelly upgrade.

Not if you buy them from a dealer, and at the time I purchased them, that's the only way I could get them. All of the online sites were saying "back-ordered forrrreverrrrr!"

Well they were $2000 total, so, yeah, that's a pretty big waste of money.

Oh crap. So I basically did waste my money on the OEM deflectors then?

Safe to assume that your splitter will mate up properly with the OEM deflectors? Or are you going to alter the deflectors a bit from the OG scans?

@Rob it may be time to lock this thread?

Ah, I see the ignorance and misunderstanding of GM's tech has followed over here from the Corvette Forums. Cool. Carry on.
