Ok, so we are putting parts back on the car. Timing cover is on and balancer spindle is slowly getting there. So I thought I would take a few minutes to dry fit the oil pan and its gasket before...

Because reasons.

Also because wider tires provide more grip as demonstrated by the C7 GS on track against many arguably better cars. Of course there is the matter of diminishing returns and that's...

My biggest issue with the design is that if I hadn't known it was a corvette, I wouldn't have guessed that it was. Doesn't need to look like a FE corvette, because it isn't, but it would have been...

The main driver of that increase in customer median income last year is probably Covid-19. Those who are well off will still buy sportscars. Those somewhat less fortunate are more concerned about the...

seems like a normal thing with GM. Remember the C7 issues? LS7? Optispark? I'm not convinced this can be blamed on it being mid-engined vs front-engined, that in itself does not make a huge...

could the 9100 Nm/deg be with the top out? Or possibly the 12,566 is for a developmemt prototype with reinforcements that didn't make it to production for the standard model? or the FRC/Z06 even.

I googled a bit yesterday before deciding not to bother... But the C4 was around the 3,500 Nm/deg mark I think. The C5 somewhere in the 9,100-9,500 Nm/deg as you say and the C7 at 14,500 Nm/deg. I...

The GT2 RS is twin turbo though, not N/A. But yeah, quite a bit more capable. What was it, 6:40 vs 6:56 on the nurburgring?
