The graph above exposes the problem when someone just posts peak numbers..."it only added 15hp, pfff, lame!". But when you look the curves, they are train tracks; +40hp and +55tq all through the meat of the rev range. Excellent!

Getting a stolen car back is adding a layer that I wasn't including, but could not agree more. I guess I'm a lot more adverse than some to the hassle and out of pocket costs to get a replacement.

I just peak around at the indicator lamp on the side mirror for the light blink confirming that its locked. Faraday user here too. It's literally .73 of a second to remove or replace the keys in the pouch. Seems a lot less time and hassle than dealing with insurance, a shitty insurance payout...

100's of 1,000's of police interceptors say idle hours are fine. Back in the day, Ford determined 33 miles of oil life use per 1 hour of idle, but GM OLI absolutely takes idle time, outside temp, oil temp between key cycles, and myriad other data points into account. Its a VERY good system.

Coverking for me. Same custom fit but I prefer flexible for more compliant install and rolls up easy. https://coverking.com/products/custom-sunshield?variant=40386201518242

I'm new to the internets, but I think the asshole comment was supposed to be funny as it references that old thread about driver "scores". Some of you assholes are completely uninsurable based on those numbers! :cool:

I only do one tire if there is under a couple thousand miles, otherwise its a 2fer. Unless you plan to keep this pattern of replacement going or plan to sell the car soon, no matter how you look at it at some point you're going to be disposing of one tire that isn't worn out. Life experience...

Hi Rob, I don't think Nick's BW that I now have is in the registry, R0860360. Black Diamond Tricoat.

That alloy is called Chinesium

Cross posting my f/s ad since I put it in the general for sale. The "I never planned to sell" spirit runs deep so never noticed the for V series for sale section. https://www.cadillacvnet.com/forums/threads/f-s-23-5bw-6-speed.6071/

Cross posting since I put the original ad in a less ideal spot. https://www.cadillacvnet.com/forums/threads/f-s-23-5bw-6-speed.6071/

Here is the "street high performance" burnishing option. The way I read it, this only needs to be done before track days?

And more fun! :)
