2016 Z06 OEM wheels, fronts have (old) tires, $1400

Might be just placebo effect, but Weather mode does seem smoothest overall, and it's what I run with if there's a new passenger in the car. Could have something to do with slower throttle response. I...

Left some bait blocks and a big glue trap and two big trap traps in the trunk overnight, and another glue trap in the cab. I think that's why my car alarm went off a few times in the middle of the...

MORE care and attention than a 2011 F430? (1) 2009 was the last model year, wasn't it? I guarantee any C7 will need way less care and attention than any Ferrari. There's definitely no F1 pump to...

My 2016's two improvements that make a big difference in daily driving are the power cinching hatch/trunklid and, on 2LZ and 3LZ, the front cameras. They make precise parking a snap and take a lot...

Money no object, I'd rather have the OEM run-flats. For daily driving without an unlimited budget, get a couple cans of fix-a-flat and a set of Contis. They seem to ride softer and definitely last...
