Better trap speed than a Demon 170. And of course they have an auto. I've tried to drag a manual and it led me to insanity. Simply don't possess the skills to pull it off with anything remotely...

Yes, well, I have not seen much interest in these cars. Parts are already an issue. I bought an extra set of mag rides for the rear but of course you have to scavenge for the fronts. I'm just leaving...

Media Testing

Media testing when the 2012 was released shows a 0-60 time of 3.9 seconds. That's obviously the best time they recorded. Sounds like your in the ballpark considering no track prep, poor DA, and the...

Order Placed

Yes Sir BSN, that's a saving of $322 over the Summit price. I see them now. Got tired of worrying about no parts so I will have these in case I keep the car. Can make a pass at the strip without...

Are Rears Still Available?

Good info Rob. I just checked on Rock Auto and don't see those rears listed. Am I missing it or have they sold out at this point?
I think I need to just buy a new set of rears if there was anyone...

I guess the lack of a response is a no. I am chasing a random suspension noise that occurs infrequently. Took it to the best mechanic in town and he got it replicate 1 time in a couple hours of...

Luft Meister Magnetic Ride Shocks

Just Killed Mine

Replaced the OEM with another OEM after 6 years as a precaution. The replacement died on me this week after 5 years. My own fault though. It is stored in a very hot mini warehouse for up to a month...

Aftermarket Replacement

Sorry for your issues. I bought my 2012 ZL1 for the transmission and rear end. And here we are. So on the 9" conversion are you aware of a direct bolt in that mates to a 5th gen ZL1? Looks like...

Got It, Thanks

Got it. So your just a person that enjoys the shifting and the challenge it presents at the track. I prefer a manual on the street as well but for the novice you can really get your feelings hurt at...

Any Idea on HP

Congrats, that's really flying. I tried shifting an LS1 car with the T-56 and archaic clutch hydraulics. I threw a a lot of money at the car including the clutch, rear end, motor, and clutch...

Yeah, well that will work out good for you. Seems like half the guys on this board are mechanics. I have floor jacks and jack stands and enough skill to tackle a very basic bolt on. I'll use...

Installation and set up cost?

Sorry yours have gone out twice. No doubt you have to make a change, basically immediately. How much would you figure for a reputable shop to do the install and fine tuning of a set up like this? I...

Thanks

That makes sense - it's an option which might be better than no option depending on your situation. Thanks for the information. I'm starting to feel better about my 10 year old antique.

Ah, I must have missed your HP in your signature. Excellent theory on your part. Mine is bone stock with an A6 and what is that - a paltry 470 HP at the tire? Have never heard a link between HP and...

Thanks - to be Clear

Thanks for running that to ground. I was not alarmed by the price per unit for repair. Are you reading that the shipping costs are for a set of 4? Can't imagine that it would be for one but I have...

Yes, 100% correct. That 6th Gen C pillar killed the sales IMO as Mustang and Challenger sales soared. GM was too cheap to fix the problem so it just withered on the vine. I took delivery of a Hellcat...
