I've heard the manual take rate has surprised GM, as they were only expecting around 35%. I'd guess much of that 15% C-7 Corvette manual market ended up in Blackwings. Manual cars are a funny thing. The CTS-V Wagon was in production for several years with something like only 500 being made...

This is a legal issue that has already worked it's way through the courts, precedents set and now the line in the sand is known by both consumers and manufacturers. They must be able to prove that the modified part caused the failure to deny a warranty claim. The throttle body is an OEM part...

I'm looking for a set of used rotors for the 4BW. Either take offs from someone upgrading to GiroDisc, or rotors with an issue that would need turning. I will even take rotors with spider cracking. Thanks

OEM car mats for Watkins Glen edition car and probably the Road Atlanta edition. Or for anyone that likes the red trim opposed to the standard black trim. Brand new in unopened packaging $250. Thanks

The Snowbikes are primarily ridden in 2 and 3rd gears. 1st tops out at about 5mph. You can never use 5th, they simply doesn't make enough power to turn a track that fast. 4th can be used on trails where you had time to fully max out 3rd and then cruise in fourth. It's not accelerating or...

After my first day of riding a Hawk, I knew I'd never ride snowmobiles again. The snowbikes are fun for off-trail in tight conditions, but they just don't have any power.

Being in my 60's I'm mostly done sliding cars around in the snow, especially a $100K car. After many years of skiing, I tried mono-skiing, then snowboarding, followed by snowmobiling. Then there was the day I learned of the existence of these things. If I'm going outside to play in winter...

Correct, narrower tires are better for snow. Notice the rusty rotors? It doesn't leave the driveway around snow and salt. I've got an old pickup for those days. I'm already focused on next year's track days.

Correct, 285/30's front and 295/30's rear. I'm looking forward to faster corners next season.

Here's the result of Friday nights storm here in CT. Let's see who first notices the unusual thing in the close up picture.

I always loved that car. 556hp with a 6sp in a wagon. I think only about 500 made with a standard.

Interesting! It looks to me like 85528936 is the original part and 85115921 is perhaps a longer wearing alternative. The only difference between the two pads appears to be that 85528939 has 9.15mm of friction material and weigh 7.14 lbs, while 85115921 have 13.65mm of friction material and...

I suppose a front wheel could be used on the back with a larger spacer. However, the studs that work for your rear wheels would be waaay to short to be used with the front wheel and a spacer. Lugs long enough to use with the front wheel with spacer would be waaay to long to work with the rear...

While you can run a square setup with the same size tires and wheels, the wheels are not interchangeable front to rear. The offsets on the wheels are drastically different.

Similar story here in that I wanted the 5BW, but settled for the 4BW. I do still long for that big power, but am really happy with the 4BW. With a JB4 your at 550hp and still getting 25mpg. The 5BW has greatly outsold the 4BW, with the 5BW continuing on while the 4BW has been discontinued...

I recommend Efren Panjon with Pepe Cadillac in White Plains NY. He delivered the car to my house in CT, did the paperwork in the driveway and took an Uber back to NY. They gave me MSRP on a Watkins Glen edition when nobody else would.

Those statements are not conflicting, they in agreement. Let's say max camber with the "OEM" arms is -1.6 degrees and least possible camber is -.09 degrees. -1.6 is your moderate track alignment and -0.9 is your street alignment. Install the V8V arm and that range shifts by -0.4 degrees, so...

Yes, of course. I stated the specs I was told to use for my 4BW. I've never said what specs you should be using for your 5BW. I have only addressed the concept of toe in versus toe out, which doesn't change based on the model or make of a car. I enjoy the learning, so bring more info to the...

Correct, it's not black and white. It seems to come back to what is your goal, improved tire life or improved handling characteristics? According to your video if the goal is tire life, one would use toe in, but if improved handling is the goal, one would use toe out. Could you please be more...
