Don't tell that to the 6th gen owners. Most of them probably paid at least $30k for their V6's. In fact, I've seen some reach almost $40k on certain models.

I don't think it's the government per se. I just think it's GM not providing that feature because of the smaller dimensions of the interior in that area on the Alpha platform.

The side skirts on the 6th gens go almost half way up the body on the 1/4 panel. So, it's going to cost some bucks to fix those chipped areas because they will want to respray the whole panel. ...

So, even if we were able to achieve 100% throttle opening below 4k rpm, the gains would be minimal then?

Hmm, I wonder why HP tuners would say that? If there are no additional tables, then...

I think you need a spray booth to do it flawless though. Also, I've read that on certain colors the dip can stain the paint underneath if left on for a long time. Is that true?

If it's hard coded in the ECU, I wonder if there is a work around in the tuning? I'm sure this WOT restriction is costing us something in performance times.

The 1984 Z28 had either the standard LG4 rated at 145HP or the newly available L69 H.O. rated at 190 HP. However, many reported (at the time) that the L69 pumped out more like 205HP at the crank.

Longest GM wheel studs made for a Camaro?

I'd like to put 15 mm wheel spacers on my car to bring the wheels closer out to the edge of the body.

The GM wheel studs (part # 11588810) provide up to 7 mm more useable threaded section. If...

I think the front seats alone are around 45+ lbs each. Aftermarket 18's could save up to 10-15 lbs per wheel over the heavy OEM 20's which would equal even more in unsprung weight. Braille battery...

Why never above 8K? I've purchased many older GM "performance" vehicles with at least 69K miles on them and never had a problem. Are the 5th gens not as long lasting or something?

What's the typical rate for one of these? I haven't seen any at the local rental lots around here yet.

An SS would be nice to rent for a day, but it would probably be super expensive though.
