    CT5-V Time To Part Ways

    It's sold. EBay was the trick. I had someone talking to me about it 2-3 hours after posting it. I already have the order number for my Z06 so now I just wait for some... "VIP" stuff to happen. ;-)

    CT5-V Time To Part Ways

    That one will be way out of my price range I'm quite sure.

    CT5-V Time To Part Ways

    There's no order number as of yet, so hold the congrats please. But thank you. I'm not going to lie: I prefer the low, grumbly, immediate torque of the small block over the LT6. I don't personally care that the LT4 doesn't rev past 6500RPMs; I've always enjoyed the previous Corvettes' power...

    CT5-V Time To Part Ways

    Last generation's Z06 had the LT4. This generation has the DOHC LT6.

    CT5-V Time To Part Ways

    I've been wresting with this for a couple of weeks and finally decided to make the move. There's an "interesting" opportunity for me to order a new 2024 Corvette Z06, which at the time of ordering the 5BW I just couldn't justify and/or afford properly. But life has changed in the significantly...

    CT5-V Must have for track alignments

    Hell I did 160 in a 4th gen Corvette in a public road and lived to tell about it. Of course that was during the Pony Express a whole bunch of years ago, but who's counting? ;-)

    More Aggressive CT5-V Blackwing Carbon Front Splitter

    Got mine today; they look fantastic per @Terrance Speed's usual. Pics after I get them and the splitter installed (perhaps this weekend).

    CT5-V Speed Sign reading

    This is exactly the case. On newer GM cars with the Google crap integrated, it's all handled via OnStar. But on the cars with an OEM nav and SD card for the maps, it's on the card.

    More Aggressive CT5-V Blackwing Carbon Front Splitter

    I got my replacement last week, thanks @Terrance Sig. I'll use the box to return my original if you have a shipping label for me. ETA on the wheel arch pieces? :)

    Aftermarket or Hacked Remote Start - Manual Transmissions

    Thanks for the useless snark that missed its target. GM's owners manual say to do it. In every manual transmission equipped car they've made for ... ever? They say to park it in reverse (or first) as well as using the parking brake. Sure there's a certain amount of CYA there on GM's part...

    Aftermarket or Hacked Remote Start - Manual Transmissions

    No one should take this as a personal attack; I knew a few people that do this, too, and it just blows my mind: one should never, ever park a manual in neutral. Always keep it in gear, and with GM manuals, preferably in reverse. Having that extra amount of engine compression to help prevent...

    CT5-V Floor mats with red piping?

    I was going to say those mats look fantastic and I'd love to get a set myself, but then I saw the red center rear seat belt and knew instantly that it was a fake. Those don't exist, didn't you know that? Why post something misleading like that, Sean? ;-)

    No cylinder deactivation on the 5Wing Manual transmission?

    It's almost like it was intended as a gift from GM: avoid the GG tax and defeat it fairly easily. Nah, they wouldn't want to help their customers are all, would they? (Hint: that's exactly what it was for).

    CT5-V Winter tire set up. Pilot Alpin PA4

    Thanks. The more I struggle to find something adequate, the less interested I am in driving the car during the colder temps. I'll probably just park it until it warms up enough; I do have a big pickup to drive as well.

    CT5-V Winter tire set up. Pilot Alpin PA4

    They'd list them if they (still) carried them, even if they were out of stock. I'm guessing they don't carry them any longer. Likely discontinued; Pirelli's been cleaning house on a lot of the older Sottos and discontinuing them, it seems.

    CT5-V Winter tire set up. Pilot Alpin PA4

    Tire Rack doesn't have those. At least I wasn't able to find them in that size there. Where did you get them?

    Which Pirellis and which sizes?

    Breaker bar or impact?

    Breaker bar to break. Impact (slow) to loosen/remove and then again to gently tighten. Torque wrench to do the final tighten. Don't use the impact to start or finish the job.

    CT5-V Winter tire set up. Pilot Alpin PA4

    Be forewarned: one of the negative feedback bits of these tires is that they're noisy as hell on dry roads. Some may care, others may not.
