Thanks so much. It looks like it operates very similarly to a F1 diff, without the cockpit adjustable gain control. F1 doesn’t allow for computer aided performance control so, I guess ours is...

I am on a list for a 2021. I come from my current ‘07 Z06 and as far as I am concerned, torque is where it’s at. I may get pushed back to a 2022 and the thought of a bored and stroked DOHC Z06...

E-LSD Info?

Maybe I have missed something along the way but is there anything out there that fully explains the operation and advantages gained with the C8 E-LSD?

Looks like the car has a little wedge in it. Do you think that was intentional or just normal production tolerances? My lightweight C6Z has serious traction problems and always yawed hard right on...

5.5 n/a?

Lots of “insiders” are touting a 5.5L DOHC Flat Plane Crank with 650 HP and a 8500 RPM redline. This combination would get really tiresome as a daily driver because it would have practically no low...

After seeing some dyno sheets it looks like the LS2 is running out of torque above 6000 rpm. You won’t get any more horsepower at 7000 without more or at least the same amount of torque. Of course...

My .02

I don't remember what it was called but it was the standard Halltech that came out before the Carbon series. I think I bought it in 2009 or so. Does "Superbee" sound familiar?
