Shno's House of Z

[Number 3]

No Shno or news, I'm affraid.

Knock, knock

Who's there

It sure as Heck isn't Shnomac, I don't know where he is.

Thus we must continue to amuse ourselves.

A point of interest, my dealer will install the Stage II Turbo kit on the Sky. So we shall have a 290 HP little beast that should................and I say should with great trepidation...................run with an SS. Not beat, mind you, but I hear sub 5 second 0 - 60 times so might be sniffing some 6.2 L exhaust anyway.

I'm totally superficial on this one -- I hope the Z looks just like it, inside and out! (the only change I could stomach would be a TF2 Bumblebee hood)

You got the tune right.

335 cu in = 5.5 liters = D.I. C6r motor = good Z/28

Nice!

You know, though...6.2L exhaust will always smell nicer than 2.0L exhaust...don't get too fast now.

Is that all?

Hey, 3...you've driven the CTS-V sedan before...and I assume you've been in your fair share of Corvettes (). What can you comment about the MSRC?

Assume you mean the Magneto-Rheological Real Time Damping or MR Shocks???? Very noticeable and definitely worth serious consideration on the Corvette as optional equipment. We have a road close by that has sharp, consistent drops between pavement sections. In a base Corvette it is very abrupt. Turn the MR shocks to Touring Mode and it virtually turns it off. And although I haven't driven a ZR1, it has the ability to alter the damping on the rear shocks to help with the weight transfer on launch. It detects engine RPM, speed and clutch position to predict a launch. Even in the V, it makes the car as smooth, well almost as smooth as a base CTS on the highway. A very impressive technology.

That's them! What about handling...I always hear how comfy they can be when switched to tour, but is sport mode really...sporty?
