Haha, true for summer tires. I use Conti high perf all seasons (DWS 06+) which are ok at freezing temps. Much better than summer tires in cold and even cool weather. Maybe not great at single digits...

I love driving my ZL1 in freezing temperatures. Loads more power than hot air (I'm at 2,700 ft elev. so I deal with pretty bad DA in late spring/summer/early fall). A good DA for me is <1000'. I...

25% ethylene glycol will only protect from freezing down to about 13 deg F. If you drive your car and park it in temperatures close to that, then you need more glycol. It gets slushy as it approaches...

That sounds like good advice. I used to have an electric water pump on a '95 Trans Am I had done cam and FBO to, and the relays regularly failed until I forked over more money for a decent relay.

It it's airlocked you can't purge it the same way Josh is explaining because there will be no water flow. With small air bubbles the pump can still flow, but with enough air trapped in the pump...

I think everyone puts way too much stock in dyno readings. Do we do mods to increase dyno results or increase acceleration? The latter, of course. So, all that should matter are the before and after...

I've driven a Tesla. 2024 Model Y Long Range. It had torque and drove pretty well. But at full tilt it basically accelerated similarly to my Supra from 40-70 mph or so (I think the Supra would take...

That’s why I said sports car. Diesel trucks have a purpose and EV can’t match them yet. I hate the black soot from diesels, would be nice if BEV could get to that duty level. I don’t care about soul...

Look at it this way: if torque won races then the ZL1 would pull away from a GT500. But it doesn’t. Above 60 mph or so the GT500 accelerates quicker.

ZL1 is 240 lbs lighter and has 650 ft lbs of...

Nice! More pictures, please! Including the rear! With the corners cut I hope there aren’t more hidden corners cut…I’d keep hunting things down to make sure it was done correctly.

I've had this happen with my ZL1 after washing the car and then not using the brakes. You can see that the rotors get a layer of rust on them from the iron deposits on the surface. My theory is the...

A $65k loan with 0% interest would be $1,083/mo for 60 months. At 8% it's 1,318/mo. For comparison, at 3% it would be $1,168/mo.

Based on your posts you sounds like you have your mind made up. But, why not spend a little more and get a 20+ ZL1 then? It’ll be a much better car than a 13/14 GT500 in every way and much newer.

Two choices better than a 13/14 GT500: buy a lightly used low mileage alpha ZL1, or put a Whipple on the 1LE with low boost, 600 whp, both will have supercar handling and good power.

Occasionally the supercharger coolant line isn't bled properly and has air in the line, causing power reduction and power issues. Bleed the s/c coolant line and check again.

Nice car. The front looks a little high and it looks like the dealer may have left the front spring spacers in. You might want to peak in there and take a look and remove them if so.
