750 front, 850 rear.

I just got a few days in at High Plains Raceway and also have a few AutoX events in this year. I'm really happy with them, combined with a Hotchkis ft and ZLE rear bar both...

An experienced tech could do it in 4 no problem. Took me and a friend 4-5 hours never having done the job, including fabricating a press.

Installing these isn't that hard and the small increase in NVH could be considered subjectively preferrable for a sports car, it connects your butt to the road a little more directly. It's somewhat...

Yeah, all modern paint has peel and minor imperfections at best.

I did recently see a McLaren with an optional $115k paint job that was perfect.

LT4 is rated w/o SC losses so you get -100 whp vs -50 for the LT1. So LT4 is really only +150 hp, not +200.

Otherwise accessory losses aren't nearly that large on a modern engine.

You really can't use either one on the street regularly. If you look at low temp mu, 3.12 is still higher. 1.11 will switch over to adherence rather than abrasion mode at lower temps, but for the...

I'd just get 3.12s. Works fine with my SS 1LE and GY SC3s, less brake pedal pressure needed, lasts longer, same price. I got that advice from several track guys and shops, the 3.12s are so much...

Track throttle mapping from the factory is about as linear as it gets.

Race works as you describe but I think you'll find all nannies off to be faster with more experience.

I got a soft sided Yeti cooler for half off, had it for over 5 years now. It's good for track days and autox, holds just enough.

I think the 6th Gen SS 1LE makes for a good daily driver, the magride is super smooth and it's very comfortable. It's quirky though... the useability is compromised for styling too much. It's wide...
