The key word here is always. The word used in the original post I quoted. I run rpms above 3,500 frequently when sporty shifting and to red line occasionally. There is no reason to ALWAYS keep rpms above 3,500 for v8 or v6 for everyday street driving.

This is a high torque American V8. There is NO reason to always keep rpms above 3,500. On the street that is.

Never heard of skip shift on 4 or 5. 99% sure you don’t have it. Some have complained about the 1-2 shift being stiff when trans is cold.

FYI, I have the 5BW 6 speed and at 2000 miles I had my local dealer change engine oil, trans oil and rear diff oil. I do not track it BUT keep my cars a long time. The maintenance you do entirely depends on how you use the car and how long you plan to keep it.

Remember the old cop saying about speeding: 9 over you’re fine, 10 over you’re mine.

I’ll be there Jan 23-24. Looking soooo forward.

Thanks. It drove just fine before the alignment.

Thanks, and it is a good question. In my past experience with brand new cars the alignment is usually off from specification from the factory, even though you may not be able to feel it when driving. This can of course cause premature tire wear and I did not want to take the chance with this...

Had the 5 BW aligned today. 2023 with 5,100 miles. Did they do it correctly and was it bad to begin with? I do not want a track alignment. Car drove fine before and feels fine after. No noticeable difference. Thanks for any comments and advice.

It is the manual. I have probably changed manual trans fluid a couple dozen times in my life and it is kind of fun as long as you have drain plug. This Tremec 6060 does, however I had the dealer change it, and the rear diff and engine oil. They did use OEM trans fluid, which happens to be AT...

It really comes down to how long you plan to keep the car. I typically keep cars well over 100k miles so change oil (synthetic) at about 7,500 mile intervals. But honestly I think it is very rare for someone to sell a car because the engine is worn out now a days so I’m sure you could go...

Where in Florida is this dealer? I’m in Sarasota.

Well done.

I’ll be there then too.

I went to that Florida dealer this summer when I was first shopping for a 5BW. Non negotiable $20k dealer adjustment. I walked out and went to another local dealer and got a 5BW off the lot for MSRP, but paid for dealer-added window tinting (which I wanted anyway here in Florida). Keep...

Was it really necessary to run this wire over the back of the engine? It kind of ruins the look of this great engine.

Why not use the under hood battery connections for your battery tender? I connect my cteck charger there all the time and it works fine.

Ha ha. I live 10 min from that park. Love having that nearby.

Hard to do. Great job. What about clutch, trans, drive shaft, diff & axles. Can they handle the added power and torque? Extra power will always find the weakest link. I know there is some robust drivetrain components on these cars but this a lot of additional power.
