The T-56 in my '95 Camaro, which is a distant ancestor of the TR-6060 I think, specifies ATF as well. The Redline D4 was a big improvement over the GM or Mobil 1, so I'm sure the Amsoil will be as...

Technically the cars that were raced in Continental tire by guys like Stevenson were Z28.R and they have big Pratt and Miller badges on them. Maybe the car we keep seeing will be called "GT4" not...

Leave the back seat in. Other than that, hydrate, relax, learn, and have fun.

I didn't think I'd like this, but it looks great in pictures. I think it's a color that you have to see in person, though.

I believe that the anti-rollover effect more air has vs. reasonable air on most tires is negligible. It's the carcass and sidewall design that has the most influence on that, and adding a ton of air...

Our 2008 Tahoe used to do that sort of thing also, but once you put the key in it would go back to previous settings. Nice in the winter all the defrosters would turn on and the seat heaters would be...

I bet those LT1 heads outflow the capabilities of the stock camshaft so I'm not sure what you'll get out of them alone. If they get opened up too much it could kill your low end, too. All conjecture...

5.0L Coyote without the track pack takes 5w-20, track pack cars take 5w-50. Engine is identical, but the supposition is that the owners will run the track pack cars harder I guess. Sounds like GM is...

DCTs have hill assist, too. Our Jetta does, anyway. My focus (manual) has it and the implementation is flawless. Never had a problem.

I don't own a Gen 6 yet, but every one I've seen with cloth seats has had the same problem.

I'll be ordering mine with Recaros when they come available.

They do very little for a modern chassis like the Camaro so I'm guessing it won't hurt anything.

My opinion, if you don't agree that's OK. No way I'm bolting a bunch of weight to the heaviest end...

The Konis listed on TireRack are for the 2010-2015 cars. They do not fit the 2016+

The Bridgestone RE-71R is amazing in the wet. Very few street tires are better. I'd have no qualms about reasonably cool weather either.
