There is a little Mitsubishi here.

After having had to deal with OEM Porsche center locks trust me your don’t want them on anything less than a full 100% dedicated race car.

That rotor design is all flash, it’s not a real performance upgrade. It’s all marketing wank.. Performance brakes make noise and dust, people don’t understand that especially at light contact forces with pads they’ve never worn in properly.

EPA does test vehicles after they’ve been in service for several years. If you live in Ann Arbor they send you a letter asking to borrow your vehicle for a day. I think it’s (was) dyno runs only though.

They’re designed around NVH. They don’t design them to be machined, that would change the rotor harmonics and thus the whole system. I worked in rotor design for an Audi brake supplier, everything brakes is NVH first before anything else besides safety.

That’s even more ridiculous. Do you realize how much gas you would need? I’ve built controlled atmosphere work cells, it’s not something you can kludge together.

The KISS answer is the fudge the dyno via calibration then make up some wild ass story.

Diesel convertible SUV in the USA?

wat?

They’re iron rotors with aluminum hats. I see no reason they should cost that much. You could source alternate rotors from Brembo for 1/2 the cost minimum.

I worked in automotive brake R&D, you’re just getting hit with huge markup because GT-R.

Unless it was fractions of a horsepower down there s no way you could pressurize a dyno room to have meaningful increase in power.

This story is cute but bullshit.

I’d much rather sleep in my hammock or, because I’m obviously car camping (glamping), sleep in a 12 person tent on an elevated air mattress.

You need to beat the shit out of a RWD car on dirt. It’s a riot. This is an expensive riot.

The super oil wealthy arabs and red necks have quite a bit in common. I took a customer from Dubai wheeling in an old Jeep, he said he has not had that much fun in a decade.

I’d spend it on a tune, that way you can get your economy and performance back instead.

That’s some serious Ford crak pipe right there. Wow.

It’s so ugly it illuminates it’s own tears so you know it knows.

Enjoy your crippling rust in 3 years.

It’s a cool truck but I can’t deal with the corrosion issues.

Is the clutch on a cold Z06 particularity difficult to modulate?

I have a 79’ Camaro with the 350. Maybe it got better into the 80’s but it came stock with 190 hp and a dog of a 3.42 rear end.

You need to look at how the car came stock, not after you’ve thrown aftermarket parts, not matter how easy the swap is, at it.

If memory serves they have 8.2 compression, head ports designed with rocks and a chisel and a cam with just enough lift for a church mouse to squeak by.

150 hp 350 cubic inch V8? No thank you.

State inspection? That’s cute.
