I don't, but I just riveted the MCS mounting kit to the wheelwell and used the supplied zip ties. I like the trunk vent solution though, seems like a better idea. I didn't know there were trunk...

Yeah, sounds like your shocks are done. Magride is way overdamped in track mode so they're doing a lot of work. If your shocks are worn out you're left with a very softly sprung car without nearly...

Sounds like too much rear toe in. Mine felt like that after installing new rear toe links on the way to the alignment shop, after alignment back to normal.

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...

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 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...
