I know I'm an outlier here, but I let my BW eat at 500 miles. No track days, burnouts, high speed driving, etc, but moments of spirited 2-4 shifts. I think the oil consumption threads are folks that were too afraid to give it some pedal early on. Only recommendation I have is change the...

I agree that the larger family of LT4 have been a great engine. However, it's entirely plausible that the engineers for the BW version of the LT4 used different suppliers, manufacturing standards, or myriad other elements that could be the basis of BW failures. The trend at the end of an...

I think that was just a brief period of some good belly laughs a few years ago, but it's purely coincidental. It's not like these people are blueprinting the builds, its just one person taking all the components off of a parts cart needed to assemble an LT4 using calibrated tools. It was/is a...

I want to think that ^^^ but I'd say it's above average norms from a major legacy OEM. It's really the only mechanical weak spot in an otherwise robust package.

I guess I misread it! lol $6k seems like a lot...I get that it's someone else's car, but I feel like if I wanted to track mine, that money would be better served getting instruction at local tracks that I will actually be using.

I got a VM from Kim as well as an email. @nix6speed I think you misread; the unsubsidized class is $5,245. If you do level 1 in lieu of the base class, it's $1,745. It sounds like you need to meet "the requirements", whatever those are (probably proof of track experience).

It's not the loan, or the check that you write that is the problem, you still have to sit in the finance office for all the legal paperwork and that is where ALL the shenanigans happen.

It probably would have been during the worst part of the buying process; the finance guy. Probably would be slipped in with the 97 documents "you acknowledge this car his certain warranty limitations". Right when you think you're at the home stretch they drop that on you. I have no idea, but...

I mean, they came out with the most ridiculous EV in the Celestiq (MSRP, aesthetics, and power train inefficiency to name a few) so a proper F1 halo seems plausible. Assuming it's based on the C8 platform, are we then teetering on XLR 2.0? Then the whole nonsense corporate culture where team...

For how sensitive these cars are to the valves being calibrated, if you don't have a light, its hard to believe they are malfunctioning. Agree with @blkout the valves are always moving regardless of mode. @Dat Dude Trav could it be that in January you were driving differently due to...

I understand the frustration, but you're not lost. It's unfortunate that you have to spend time (and maybe some money, at least initially) on someone else's error, but move past that and focus on building a case that they F'ed up your car. If it's really running terribly, the MIL is going to...

Maybe a GoPro mounted under the car? I saw a guy do this on his Durango and it was clear as day where the noise came from. All the passive insulation, ANC, and normal interior acoustics make a phone recording almost useless.

Tesla phone key works pretty good, but not all OEM's have solved the engineering. My wife's Lucid phone key implementation is awful. It's cool to grab your phone and wallet and roll out, but no fob means no house key, so that is why I went back to fob-life when I drive her car. I'm sure the...

That is a lot of condensation...do you start and idle it frequently without driving it?

In my EV experience, the card is a last resort should your phone or fob have a flat battery. I'll take a physical key hidden in the fob, thank you.

^^^I agree 100% on the tangibles, but this is the epitome of a "collector" and with this type of thing its all about intangible rarity. I would assume they have to do some sort of validation on the emissions and power re-certifications, so that could be part of the MSRP bump.

I'd take the gamble all day long, but to your point, at well below market price. If it was a good color and a manual, then maybe $85k - $87k.

Looks like it's a larger SC and a pulley ratio change (presumably smaller upper one). 26 garage queens to be sure.

^^^Agree, and no sunroof but 10A...all for $110k...

I would expect the strut to match the condition of the spring and surrounding bits (road grime). I've had mag ride shocks on numerous GM cars and naturally spent time on the associated forums and mag ride seem more prone to leaks than standard units.
