The Mach 1s are definitely "better" but they are a lot more money and, from people I know who have owned them both, not as rowdy and fun as the Bosses. And you can swap the TR3160 into the Boss pretty easily (which is what I would do if I ever bought 3rd Boss).
Anyway, sorry for the thread hijack!
Have you considered a Boss 302? I've owned 2 and they are about the most engaging and rowdy cars you could ever imagine. Shockingly good handling if you put better tires and even better with some minor (cheap) suspension work. And that engine is incredible! Power everywhere, revs hard to...
Awesome. It looks like you were able to tuck the mufflers up higher than others I've seen. Can you please take more pictures from low behind the car? Like from maybe a 6 inches off the ground?
Have you considered 275/35/19 front and 285/35/19 rear? Would open up a lot of options, including the DWS06+ and AS4. 285 is acceptable on an 11" wheel per the specs.
Am I the only one being taunted by AWE? Whenever I get an email from them like right now, I think it's an announcement for the 5BW exhaust that they are supposedly developing. Unfortunately, today's email was just a general one. But everyone keep signing up for updates for our cars and maybe...
Awesome car congratulations! Those things are on my radar, too, and that engine is very robust actually. Keep blogging about your experiences with it please.
Something doesn't seem right. I own a 5BW 6sp and have driven a 4BW 6sp and the 4BW blew me away with how precise and sharp it was and had plenty of power. Yes, I enjoy spinning the tires on my 5BW at 90 in 3rd but the 4BW felt superb and like a pointier, sharper version of the 5. For...
Haha to both of you guys!
When this data sharing was revealed, I went ahead and physically disconnected the plug in the trunk as other people had figured out. I wouldn't mind plugging it back in but only if I know 100% they aren't sharing/selling my data again.
I don't have the app and even though I turned off Smart Driver when I took delivery, the car turned it back on approximately a month later without letting me know.
Now that the dust has settled on how GM and others were sharing our data with Lexis/Nexis and other groups, has anyone tried to confirm whether the data sharing has actually stopped? Just curious.
That's a great deal! I'm going to wait and see how things go for you and others before deciding. I'm also waiting on another brand to get theirs ready for sale before deciding.
That sounds FANTASTIC!! Jeez I wish my car sounded like that!
But . . . those hanging down mufflers have bothered me from the day the system was announced and your issue with them today backing up highlights that. Ugh come on, Corsa - redesign that aspect please!
Interesting about the other GM cars having these issues.
My 5BW has the standard iron rotors with Ferodo 2500 pads up front but I did Spring Mountain in a car with the carbon rotors. I was fastest in my class and would be hard pressed to say the carbons were much better in terms of ultimate...
Very few cars that I have bought new have been aligned correctly from the factory. I seem to always need to get them tweaked within the first few weeks (I am a bit of a perfectionist plus I generally like slightly aggressive camber and toe).
In saying this, wearing down the inside edge of a...
