The experience is heavily curated - The DCT is another layer of traction control on the car so your average driver doesn’t put the car into the wall the second they take out the clutch. Ford Performance advertises as much when they say flatter the novice and reward the expert.

Well at least for people that don’t go…

Anything above 160 mph. 0-160 I’ve plenty of experience but after that things start to get a little warpy. 

So basically a electric shopping cart taken to the next level... Can’t wait to see some fucker attempt to go shopping in Costco with one of these!

Naw, they know what to do with it. Its jist that dealers take a hit on the bread and butter stuff so they can move them. When something exciting comes along people are willing to pay MSRP let alone ADM for dealers price accordingly.

Ford and Tremec worked with the tuning on the DCT in the GT500. If you look up Billy Johnson Racing on twitter and facebook as well as an interview with Lethal Performance on YouTube Johnson talks about how he and Ford worked with Tremec to setup the DCT for the GT500.

The Focus was just shit work and I’ve been told…

The DCT is how the GT500 works, its torque management. The transmission is tightly integrated with the stability and traction control systems. If this car were as analog as the GT350 (which isn’t that “analog” to begin with) it would be a hot mess and probably not really any faster than the GT350 out on track.

The…

I see people say this but by the same token they seem to sell well every time.

From my understanding the Carbon Package option is fairly limited. Most of the cars will be the regular GT500 which again should sell well given its modest production.

Check out the Corvette C8 RPO list if you can find it. There are California cars as well as RPO codes for a few different states (some are clustered together). Now if this is merely different tuning to accomodate things like local gas blends (which I suspect) or if it includes additional or different components I’m…

1st gear: no surprise, what major industry would want a boutique set of rules to complicate the develop and manufacturing process. By the same token I’m sure all of these manufacturers would just as easily jump on board with a president and congress that said they were going with CARB full stop. It also helps if…

Depends on where your at. In my AO V8 cars can get away with it but japanese and cheap euro cars forget about it. Its like a clarion call. 

Hey meighbor! If its any consolation. I still have cats and the valves are in the mufflers...

#1 & 2# most likely. There are plenty of LT engines making 100 hp/l at the crank and they are way more radical than the factory C8 mill. Lingenfelter has a 600 horsepower package for the LT1 (which is what the LT2 is based on) and it involves way bigger valves, CNC porting and a more aggressive camshaft requiring…

An LT1 picking up 60 or 100 horsepower with a set of headers and CAI on a conservative pump gas tune???? That’s essentially what the LT2 is albeit with a little bit of cam lift and timing changes (or at least some cam timing changes).

I wouldn’t doubt GM made sure 495 crank horsepower was the lower value to keep pesky…

1st gear: Well as long as its not body problems I guess it’s okay.

Anybody with an S550 Mustang will tell you (they are built at Flat Rock) not a single damn panel lines up well and the panel gaps make shit from the 70's look Lexus good - its bad enough people will ask if the car has ever been in an accident.…

This is a car for Subaru nutswingers like the Shelby Mustangs are for Mustang nutswingers (I’d say like the ZL1 is for Camaro nutswingers but GM has made the ZL1 largely redundant with the Corvette so that's a tough call there).

These cars are for the real fans not the schmucks out there crunching numbers and buying…

Remember the shitty little translator in Saving Private Ryan? That rat fuck Corporal Upham who turned chicken shit and let his buddies down. Remember how you wanted to snatch that bastard off the screen and stretch his sack out and strangle him with it.

Yeah Trump just turned the US into the world’s Corporal Upham...

This so much this!

GM dialed in a shitload of understeer so C8 driver’s wouldn’t be the new C&C crash compilation kings. Juechter said as much when they introduced the car so that Corvette fans could switch as seamlessly as possible (or something along those lines). 

Screen cap my post and share with fuck nuts and hopefully he will choke start a 12 guage!

FUCK THAT USELESS SON OF A BITCH! SHOULD HAVE TOSSED SOME FUCKING GAS ON THE LOSER AND LET HIM BURN!

You let shit bags like that end up in a body bag and problem solved...
