This thread had me curious, plus my change oil indicator is bugging me. So its been around 7,000 miles since my post-break-in oil change. 100% full and still nearly clear !! I don't think I've ever seen oil that clean in a car engine. Some of my bikes leave it that clean between changes, but not...

Normal street driving should not wear out pads or rotors in under 30K miles. These track pads may be that much different from normal pads, but its easy enough to check. Good theory about the bad master cylinder applying unneeded pressure all the time. Unfortunately, it will likely be...

Unfortunately no safe radium. That 1600 year half life would sure be nice though :) Tritium is only 12, so we'll so how it goes..........

This thread kinda re-inspired me on the watch front. Tritium is safe now - its inside tiny tubes. :) Only a handful of companies use it though.

Latest addition - Luminox Pacific diver. Has Tritium radioactive lume. So I can tell what time it is when waking up before dawn. :)

I called them all 2 years ago as well. guess they were waiting for enough TAM - total available market - to matter. Same advice as before - your local shop can just remove stock exhaust for fractions of this cost and have better sound. Think about it - why would you pay $$$$$ for another...

At least the BW driver didn't do this. M5 lost it at at COTA for MotoGP last weekend. It had to be towed away !!

My '23 does not have it. Does this mean no '26 ?!?!?

My Cadillac Lyriq has a start/stop button. Its the silliest thing on earth. Shifting into reverse or drive requires you to press the brake pedal, so there's no danger of it running away as you climb in. The key fob is sensed and doors unlock, so why delay my journey by making me press a silly...

Wow - 60% and 70% stiffer springs ?!?!? That seems like a recipe for torture on regular streets. The whole point of the Caddy is a luxury sedan as its base. If you want to punish occupants on potholes and railroad crossings, there are much better and cheaper ways to do it. Memories of my 1LE...

T That's a lot more reasonable than I expected, but that looks horribly inconvenient. That top car is never going to be driven......

Congrats on your irrationality !! Keep us posted after delivery.

That is a beautiful C2. But that's the C7 ZR1 engine, which is still the same 6.2L LS engine we have in our cars, just a bigger blower. The DOHC flat-plane LT6 is a completely different animal. Sadly GM is the last OEM on the planet to put one in their sports car. Interestingly enough, GM...

That's our LT4. The Z06 has the LT6 with DOHC and the flat plane crank, along with an 8,600 redline. Just found this in eBay - $25K for a used one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/305979218384

Yeah, it is cool you can get that beautiful red on the 'Vette too. Me and a buddy in Leakey, Texas right after I got mine.
