I agree. I love what they does with most of what they build, but rarely am I a fan of large x huge wheels they put on them. I think 19s front and 20s rear would be great.

Interior sound from Corsa Xtreme exhaust

We've ordered a 2018 LBR Stingray and plan to keep it original except for an aftermarket exhaust and think I have settled on Corsa. But can't decide between Sport and Xtreme. I'm thinking the latter...

My wife and I are considering either a 2018 2SS Camaro or a C7 Stingray coupe. The car will be her daily driver, but she is retired so "daily" is a relative term. IF the weather is crappy she...

Well we have a 2003 Monte Carlo SS, a 2008 Avalanche, and a 1979 Corvette with the stock wheel/tire combo, so even the 1.1G of the non-Z07 Grand Sport will be out of this world.:rock:

I am coming in waaaay late on this and have not read all 91 pages worth of messages. I've got one question right now- can the GS be had without the near slick Cup 2 tires?

Any word on whether GMPP or other manufacturer will be making the the 18" Rally replicas available? I assume they are 18x8?

Can the LT1 be backed by a 4L60?
