I've built quite the list. Someday I'll pull the trigger. I was going to try to do some stuff this winter but my work just got put up for sale so I'll be waiting yet again.

Ordered a set of TSW Nurburgrings in the machined face/gunmetal today. They should get here on Wednesday next week. I said screw the 18's and just went with 20x9 +20 for the front and 20x10 +35 for the rear. They are still a lot lighter than stock and I can just run them all the time. I'll be staying with my general gmax tires for now hopefully they'll look ok stretched an inch more than they are now. This will drop about 25 pounds of rotational mass so that should equate to a tenth maybe in the 1/4. And will have a way better stance!

For a second I thought you got the Vredesteins too. I have them and I can't keep them to the ground for the life of me. Very unimpressed.
But the nurburgrings are always nice.

It definitely wouldn't hurt but I don't think that is the root of your mpg issue.

I think its the lack of turbos that is causing my issue.
My wife doesnt see it that way though.

I bet I'm the only one with this combo on a V6 lol. Still loving the drone free cruising tho!
If you ever get a chance post a video of it with some revs, would love to here how it sounds.

Will do, I'm going to give it a little longer to break in. Its already changed some and gotten deeper at idle.

I ordered some LED lighting from Diode Dynamics for the Camaro. All in cool white 6000K. I ordered daytime running lights, dome light, licence plate light, and trunk light. I have always hated the yellow drl's it will be nice to get rid of them. Hopefully everything fits and works properly. I've always tried to stay away from aftermarket lighting in the past because it always seems to be a headache. These should be better quality though, definitely pricey for some bulbs.
