I love my TC. It doesn't do anything to add power. What it does is quite simple. It reduces TB opening lag TIME. The TB, controlled by the ECU opens the butterfly at a rate it chooses based on...

I respect that opinion, but just staying in your own lane (the slow lane), should be safe from an unsafe lane change. If I had passed him any faster, I would have risked a speeding ticket. If a...

I understand the comments, but disagree with any of this being my fault. This driver didn't have situational awareness by presumably not seeing me on his right, allowing him to know I was there and...

Believe it or not, I was trying to get away from his blind spots. As a motorcycle rider, a mistake by a semi like this one would be lethal.

In this case, I just didn't get far enough ahead...

I believe he wasn't paying attention, and didn't see me in his right-hand corner front blind spot when he changed lanes. Then accelerated into me.

The impact force was pretty strong, and I...

Hi everyone,

My 2012 2SS LS3 only has 25,000 miles on it because it is my "play" car and usually gets driven hard. But, last Friday was beautiful here so I drove it to work (NOT driven hard). ...

Highest Rated UHP A/S tire

I'm a little mad at Michelin right now. Their Pilot Sport AS 3+ is a good match for what kind of tire I'm looking for (based on reviews).

Unfortunately, they don't offer a 275/40R20 for the rear....

I also stay out of blind spots. BUT, I once passed a semi (quickly) to avoid his blind spot, and got laser tagged and ticketed for doing 71 in a 60.

I find this description accurate. My SS LS3 throttle response was slower than my 2006 CRV. VTC on 5, and all is good. I personally believe it increases the rate at which the TB responds.
