I've had this happen with my ZL1 after washing the car and then not using the brakes. You can see that the rotors get a layer of rust on them from the iron deposits on the surface. My theory is the...

A $65k loan with 0% interest would be $1,083/mo for 60 months. At 8% it's 1,318/mo. For comparison, at 3% it would be $1,168/mo.

I hope you’re wrong about the ICE Camaro. I feel like all those car companies that went all in on BEV just missed the target but are in too deep and can’t back out now. Most customers don’t want BEV,...

Tesla produced ~433,000 in Q1, but only delivered ~386,000. How is that a supply issue? The only thing it could be is that they couldn’t transport them. But Tesla hasn’t said that, not that I can...

It’s 650 ft-lbs, of course you can spin the tires. I can easily spin the tires in my A10 ZL1 in 2nd gear. And traction control reins it in out of a turn. Turn off TC and you’ll probably end up...

Based on your posts you sounds like you have your mind made up. But, why not spend a little more and get a 20+ ZL1 then? It’ll be a much better car than a 13/14 GT500 in every way and much newer.

Two choices better than a 13/14 GT500: buy a lightly used low mileage alpha ZL1, or put a Whipple on the 1LE with low boost, 600 whp, both will have supercar handling and good power.

Occasionally the supercharger coolant line isn't bled properly and has air in the line, causing power reduction and power issues. Bleed the s/c coolant line and check again.

Nice car. The front looks a little high and it looks like the dealer may have left the front spring spacers in. You might want to peak in there and take a look and remove them if so.

Only certain more expensive EV models are faster than a performance ICE car. I bet your SS would do better than you think against a Model 3 Perf. from a roll. C&D tested a 2019 3 perf. and it trapped...

I can't believe how cheap cars were back then, even adjusted for inflation they're extremely cheap compared to today, the Vettes included.

Congrats, but the front end looks a little high with that big wheel gap - make sure there are no spring spacers in there. Dealers frequently forget to take them out.

Ha, we can hope; but from the spy pics it looks more like an aesthetics package over an actual functional downforce package.
