Project car that is finally complete and priceless as far as sentimental value versus a new Camaro that is quite a bit more affordable if it gets balled up going off track? don't know man, just putting this out there. |

Heck I'll be doing that with the 1LE.. it'll be tracked, but probably only 20-25% of the track days I do. My reasoning isn't completely financial as I need to maintain seat time in the cars that are actually raced vs HPDE usage.

I did a couple laps in a new GT3 RS and didn't know physics worked like that.

Hey Nick did you get a feel for your suspension mods? Do you feel like they made a worthwhile improvement?

Update on the reason for my engine catastrophe took Parts, connecting rod bearings and such to well-known engine builder and he said without a doubt I had major detonation as the bearings on a connecting rod especially the top bearing was seriously damaged.

I wonder if a piston pounding on an intake valve head bouncing around the combustion chamber would show the same bearing damage as detonation.

I will say I’m glad Nicky has the PDK in the RS so he can’t overrev that one too. <—- just giving you a good natured ribbing.  . The RS motor is way over $40k to replace IIRC. That’s basically the cost of an entire SS 1LE.  Sorry for your misfortune. Live and learn and enjoy your even better replacement engine!
