Wolfgang Uber Rinseless Wash diluted to waterless wash strength; either the regular (pink) or the SiO2 version (blue). Both are excellent and have many uses. The blue is a little slicker.

It’s one thing charging a markup during times of high demand and low inventory; the customer simply decides whether they’ll buy now or hold off until supply meets demand. It’s another thing taking...

If it was one or the other and the car was staying stock, I would choose the exhaust. The base suspension already handles well and isn’t lacking during street use, so mag ride is merely better....

It’s 2021, paint should not be falling off of any new car. I had a similar issue with my ’21 ZL1, different area but the same type of pealing. It was fixed under warranty, but it was still annoying...

Even if using the car regularly, giving the battery a top-off charge can keep it and the car’s various systems happy. Multiple short trips and restarts during a day or week of driving can drain the...

Congrats on the car and the road trip. Personally, I’d stick with the factory ride height and wheels/tires for such a long trip. Everything works as designed and if there’s a mechanical issue on...

I thought the race would have been closer or in the C8’s favor, but at second thought the outcome makes sense. The C8 may have more peak power and torque, but the turbocharged 992 has a...

It truly baffles the mind that a manufacturer would put cast aluminum wheels of this size on a 3500+ lb. high performance sports/track car, then go a step further and fit ultra low profile run flat...

It is expensive, but reasonable considering a similar option from Ferrari, Lamborghini or McLaren would probably cost five times more. Still, for those that don’t care for carbon fiber, it’s not...

There are only so many performance (new) cars in the 50k-70k price range. Of those cars the C8 is king, IMO. I would think that anyone seriously considering the Supra has got to be reconsidering any...

I agree. For what the Comp seats are and how they differ compared to the GT seats, $1200 is more than enough. Likely, the most expensive difference is the carbon fiber trim pieces (they should have...

I wouldn't call the C7's rear spoiler/wing options aftermarket afterthoughts - they're modest, somewhat well integrated designs (though obviously added-on). However, the C7's rear spoiler really...
