Your first point is a bad take. It shouldn’t even be relevant, but for what it’s worth, I can afford a Cayman GT4 or even a 991 RS, but prefer not to blow money on subjective improvements in driving dynamics at the cost of ridiculous repair costs and replacement parts. My wife owned a Macan Turbo for a couple years…

No way. They’re exceptional track cars for the level of performance they provide. Compare cost of consumables to any other car that offers similar performance (i.e., Cayman GT4, 997 GT3/RS, M4 GTS, etc.). The Camaro is cheaper to run, and easier to maintain.

Are they offering the factory warranty with the modifications?

Most of my buddies have GT3. My track toy is a Camaro. I’m faster than they are, have more fun at events than they do, and have to spend a FRACTION of what they do on routine maintenance.

THANK YOU (re: C5 Z06)

Man. I don’t think I could disagree with your take on C5 any more.

why does his race matter in the context of the show. couldn’t he be black or white or whatever and it wouldn’t make any difference?

Are the two cars at the same scale?

Towing capacity does not increase when power increases. Towing capacity is more related to wheel base than anything else.

Are you saying you think the failure was caused by the rods being Ti, or that the Ti rods are too expensive to replace

I doubt the numbers are even close to 1%. Speak to any reputable shop that builds and repairs these things and they’ll tell you that valves seldom ever drop on stock engines, and most frequently occur on a modified engine running a big cam.

We can agree to disagree, but my point is that I drive my car hard on the track regularly for the last 5 years and have never had any issues. Have you actually had an issue with yours?

Re-read my post. I’m actually not saying it needs any modifications at all. A small percentage of LS7 dropped valves. I, and several friends of mine, have 6 seasons (20-30 events) of hard driving on track a stock LS7. I have had zero issues.

If you’re using objective criteria, the answer just has to be the LS series. There’s a reason they are ubiquitous. You can find those things in everything from full blown race cars, to kit cars, to engine swaps, to commercial trucks, and even briefly in factory SAAB cars. They’re relatively small and lightweight, have…

Strongly, strongly, disagree. In my experience, and the vast majority of LS7 owners experience, that isn’t even vaguely accurate. Some LS7 had issues with dropping valves under specific conditions, but that was addressed in the late LS7 found in the gen 5 Z/28. The rotating assembly in the LS7 is more that stout…

Who hurt you?

In the introduction you seem to imply that calling the GT3 a “race car for the street” is “bullshit,” and then you end the article saying the standard GT3 provides the same feeling of control that the race car provides. So what is it?

1st gen Liberty aren’t actually all that bad. They aren’t the best Jeep by any means, but they are reasonably capable off-road and were very reliable. My sister had one that easily racked up 200,000 miles before she sold it, and she wasn’t exactly the best about maintenance. It never had any issues though. Wouldn’t be…

I don’t have a horse in this race, but both rear window motors on my 07' X3 went out (about a year apart from each other), and the driver side window of my dad’s 2011 A6 recently went out as well. Not sure why you think it’s so uncommon.
