They can't hit the actual rack, they hit the steering shaft. You have to remove the bolt on the shaft, pull the top part out, and then zip-tie it to the side during the install.

Could be that your rear toe adjustment is out of whack. My cars makes 588rwhp, and it tracks really good out of corners. Obviously I can blow the tires off at will if I mash the gas, but it will...

5th Gen 1LE's are pretty good for autocross, Z/28's are better. Visibility sucks in both compared to Miata's and whatnot. My car is tastefully modded, and I've done very well with it. Other than the...

I do autocross, so my engine doesn't spend a whole lot of time at max rpm. A typical run only goes WOT for 2 or 3 short instances, and then you're right back on the brakes, hard. My engine is...

You can really go down a rabbit hole when talking about LS7 engine issues. I watched the Richard Holdener video and from the results of his test I went with Lingenfelter heads. The turn around time...

They shouldn't be welded. When I ordered mine, I ordered the non-catted h-pipe or whatever it was.

You can buy them right on the Kooks website. That's what I did. IMO it's a waste of time to do headers AND keep the cats. The cats are a bigger restriction. I run the 2" headers and no cats.

i bought mine at 6400 miles back in 2017. I got nagged into doing my first autocross, and was instantly hooked. Now it has 10,000 miles on it. Roughly 75-80 races under its belt with roughly 45-50...

I can't see giving up that much size. I'm 100% certain that an RE-71RS is faster than a 660, size for size, but hard to say when giving up 20mm.

Does anyone have any info if they will be making...

You should try an autocross with your ZL1. If you are a good bracket racer at the drag strip, you'll likely be a good autocrosser. I say this because a good bracket racer has 1 million things going...

I race autocross. I see results much different. The GT500 would be dead last at most any track I race at. A ZL1-1LE would be "ok".

I know lots of guys that purchase new cars to race, every few years. Right off of the showroom, slap some tires on, and head to the races. You won't be able to do that with a Chevy next year. I'm...

Guys that race....Are you thinking of getting a Mustang in the next few years?

It's not like we'll have a choice in the matter if we want a pony car. For me, I'll always keep my Z, but I love the new Mach 1's, and GT350's. Seems that the new Dark Horse is right on par with the...

I'm no tire expert, but can tell you what I've been told. Once a tire is scrubbed and went through a heat cycle or 3, then the clock is ticking. If it has never been mounted before, it "should" be...
