Excellent post, Roadhawk! Agree 1000% with everything you stated. That video was interesting because he has stated in other places, including his Carmudgeon podcast, that the 4BW is the best driving sports sedan ever made.

I am really sorry to hear about the issues you've had with your car. The 4BW is one of the best driving high performance cars I've ever had the pleasure if driving and I may end up getting one to sit next to my 5BW. But . . . I also have a 2020 GT350R and you will LOVE the Voodoo experience...

I've had a 2017 Evora 400 since new. Wonderful cars to drive (even better with the KomoTec 435 reflash and Komotec shorter gears). I've driven it on multiple road trips, too, and it is incredibly comfortable even for me at 6'3". The handling and braking are sublime. Plus, it is NOT a...

Very interesting! That last picture shows what appears to be the most complicated exhaust routing I have ever seen!

Have not noticed this at all. And I did a 4500 mile roadtrip from Texas to Montana this summer at, ahem, 'elevated' speeds and didn't have any noise issues. Are your rear tires wearing strangely?

A showroom stock car that does 205mph is already pretty silly. Why not up the ante? This will be fun, OP!

Matches and kerosene. I would be very upset and I am not a hothead. They definitely owe you something - at least a couple of oil changes or something.

Can anyone please confirm that the collar at the base of the shift knob (i.e. where the boot clips in) is the same dimension as on a ZL1 knob? I've seen at least one post where someone used a Raceseng knob from a ZL1 and when I compare pictures, they look identical but I would like to confirm...

I hadn't looked at Tire Rack in a couple of months but there seem to be more sticky choices than before, including an updated version of the BFG Rival that might be interesting. I'm happy with my 2nd set of TPC-spec tires but will probably try something different next time.

That worked like a champ! So easy to do now that I have seen your video. Thank you so much!

I really appreciate your video - thank you! Will try it again when I get a chance.

So can you please walk us through how to do it without breaking it? I've got all the right pry tools but I cannot figure out how to put the pressure in the right locations to pop it out without what feels like imminent breakage.

I sold a 2021 FK8 Type R to get my 2024 5BW 6sp. They are such different animals but both exceptional driver's cars. The CTR is going to be better on most backroads than the 5BW in part because it is smaller, lighter, and has an incredibly locked down suspension with plenty of rebound damping...
