I had a 2013 ZL1 M6 and now have a 2016 Z06 A8 that I have had for 3 years.

A new ZL1 is a more rare car to see on the streets but most people will not know what it is. I have been surprised how...

How many miles on the car? More I drove mine the louder it got.

First mod I would try is a "fuse pull". It is free and runs the exhaust 100% of the time with the valves open.

CCM brakes offer no braking performance advantage. If you look at the GM advertised braking distance for the Iron Z06 and the CCM Z06 the braking distance is exactly the same. The "advertised"...

100% drive them both.

I went from a Gen 5 ZL1 to a 2016 Z06. First the overheating crap is so overblown. Mine is one of the non-"fixed" cars and has never overheated. My Gen 5 was noticeably...

I was told it was still a requirement for Dry sump motors which the Z06 has. Unless something has changed the 500 mile service is free of charge.

I don't own a Camaro anymore but if I was to buy a gen 5 again it would be a 2012-2013 ZL1. By far the best looking Gen 5. A buddy has a Yellow 2012 ZL1 and it looks so good. The 2014+ rear end never...

Not for at least 30 years and that is not guaranteed a classic.

On your Z06 have you tried Tour for 1/4 mile runs? Lot of the fastest stock runs are in tour. The thought is the softer shock setting allows more weight transfer.

This was the point of the LT4 supercharger. It amazes me that the LT4 has a 10:1 AF ratio but that is important to the choices made included the smaller blower.

Little read about the motor.
