Thumbs down Get your black Camaro before California BANS them

California Air Resource Board is proposing a ban on all black and dark colored vehicles beginning in 2012. The reason? Because A/Cs have to work harder to cool them, causing more air pollution!:iono:...

How does the tire pressure sensor thingy work? If we go to an aftermarket rim, will it work the same?

Link no worky:thumbdown:

But not to worry - SEMA and other performance part manufacturers will aggressively fight this with their leagues of lawyers and lobbyists.

There are two types of "roots" superchargers: lobe-type and twin screw. Magnacharger and Eaton use the older, less efficient lobe type, where as Whipple and KB use a twin screw design. Twin screws do...

I remember you from my SVTP days. Looks like we both made the switch to "the dark side" :D

2.73 upper, standard lower, ported Eaton. I'm fairly conservative, and did not want to overspin more than that. I know you can throw a smaller lower on, but the air temps get crazy hot.

I'm hoping Whipple or KB come out with an application for this. Both are screw type superchargers, and lots more efficient and more powerful than a lobe type ("Heaton", Magnacharger, etc.)

it's basically a pulley/tune/intake/exhaust package. I did the exact same thing for my '04 Cobra for under $2 grand. But since Hennessey is associated with it, I would guess $25,000:thumbdown:

Hennessey is a well-documented crook and scam artist.

But even if he had a sterling reputation, how the heck do you justify a $109K price tag for a supercharger and a body kit (basically)? Good...

they are easily my favorite rim from GM so far, but are only 9.5" wide (according to the video). I'm hoping to be able to squeeze a 10.5" rim with 315's back there!

Ahh - I missed that you have an auto. Those pesky buggers do tend to suck up a bit more power!

The GT, yes, but not the Cobra. 315's on an IRS Cobra are easily done.

But you are exactly right about the GTO - those guys can barely run 275s without getting the infamous "Strut Rub." And that...
