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.

I somehow missed this thread when it started. Sounds exactly like my problem as well. So exactly what are the steps for the valve re-learn ?

Its possible to put down insane power, but takes a lot of chassis engineering too. I'm always blown away by what can be accomplished with the right expertise and trainloads of cash. :) The winner of this even runs 6s at over 200 mph...............and drives it 1,000 miles to all the tracks...

F1 is doubtlessly motorsports at the highest level. I just think an IMSA race at 1/10 the price would be just as much fun to watch. COTA totally sabotages their minor events. GT World Challenge is racing here next month, and they're shutting down all the good seating and limiting access to...

I just re-capped posts from the end of last year. Does your garage have HVAC ? Also curious if you drove a Lyriq. They're one of the most attractive crossovers available, and once you're up to 30 or 40 mph, its very quick. The V will only have 100 more HP, which is only 20% more. I bet the...

Unfortunately, that phenomenon has priced people like me out of the market for tickets. I'm lucky enough to live in Austin, so prior to the recent frenzy, I had gone every year. Now my $300 seats are $1,500. And its sold out, so the entire 10 square mile property is shoulder-to-shoulder...

Good luck on your whine venture. I love the pipes, but I that's the only part I enjoy. Whine just gets in its way......... I have custom mufflers, but can't wait to get the Kooks. It may be another year or two - letting that warranty elapse, but I'm getting them. A kid used to have a 5th gen...

Very cool. Congratulations !! Was it half the cost of the new car ? Post 1/4 mile times when you can. :)
