I've owned my 21 2LT Z51 HTC MSRC Front Lift for over 2 years. It's been a great car overall, although there have been a few...

Honestly this is great news! We've been stalwarted for years with no real options aside from the $25k+ FI kits with piggyback tuning.

Baby steps for sure - but I see this as a break through.

It's a new venue this year so it's hard to say, but I know the venue and there is more than plenty of space for staging. I don't think showing up early would be a bad thing.

Which Titanium exhaust is that?

Do you drive in manual mode and keep it out of V4? Or is the drone in V8 mode as well.

It is true that we will already be 5 model years into the C8 pretty soon (I have an old 21')

5 years into the C7 model was 2018 - only 1 year before the C8 was introduced.

I guess roll racing has become the one single measure of a supercar......No curves in the road?

If visible "carbon fiber" is less $ than carbon flash, it's probably not real 100% carbon fiber.

The other attempts at round taillights on the C7/C8 have been terrible.

Nope - not for 24

"IF" they replace the LT2 as rumored in the next couple of years, then you'll see a small HP bump. Otherwise, LT2 will stay at 495hp.
