Ile consipracy?? Lol Ive seen/heard the same BS motortrend GM bias point before. Its hilarious! The fact that the z28 is as fast as it is around a racetrack doesnt equate to biases. its the sums of its parts and the chassis tuning GM has excelled at since the original ptm in the c6's.

Yes really a conspiracy. Mostly because they have seen camaros lose to mustangs on a track and from what I've gathered (from them never did any research) don't do as well in certain events or race series etc. Driver or set up doesn't matter. The history of the race team and what's available doesn't matter. The car drives and sets itself up lol.

It's like seeing someone win motocross on a Honda 450 and then just assuming it was all the bike and the Honda 450 is the best. When in reality it is actually just as much if not more driver skill and set up than the vehicle itself. For example Jeff Emig won a supercross or motocross race ( think it was a heat race) on a showroom stock kx250 back in the day. Guess it was the baddest bike in history lmao...

Lol. Nice and subtile way of getting us all back on topic. My apologies. It looks like the depth of the rear fender(wheel arch to top of hip) is quite a bit less than the 5th. No?

Hard to say from that pic.
Plus, the 6th gen does not have a crease where the flare starts at the body like the 5th does. That makes it harder to judge that distance you're talking about.

blah blah restrictor size too big blah blah too much tire to make up for bad design big sedan chassis blah blah changed the size of the gas tank blah blah had a third party race team do all the work for race prep blah blah displacement advantage they should be winning by hours on the track with so much advantage not seconds.... blah blah they have too much influence on the race officials and class qualifications.... on and on.... oh, and i don't watch racing or care about the results anymore except for when i bitch about them on the forum all day, every day.

Did The Pill make a guest appearance on here? If so, were his post deleted? I don't remember seeing anyone post anything on here that was over the top. This or they were deleted or I missed them? Any who, get a life Mr. Pill. Now back to our regularly scheduled program. Only 3 days left people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had to look at my car again and the new hips seem to have more curve.

Thanks buddy. Ive done all I plan to on it. Upper/lower pullies, ported EATON, CAI, catback, and Dynotune. The thing is insane. I just REALLY want to be back in a GM car. Im hoping the Gen 6 turns out to be, sorta, an "economy C7". Lol. Most of the features for near half price! If it doesnt turn out as Im hoping, Ill get back in a used C7.

I bet it is insane, what color is your beast? We will soon see! I reckon since you are liking power, that you will only be interested in the higher HP versions! But you do have a great back up plan that is already out!
