    Monterey Auto Week - The Quail

    Some really interesting cars at Monterey this year. After being accused of selling the same car in different forms for over a decade, McLaren comes out with a with different chassis, engine, and transmission. Seems like it could have been a Valkyrie competitor if street legal. The...

    Looking for exhaust

    Not sure there is much of a market for another exhaust system. Maybe if they are able to do something to differentiate such as using interchangeable tips so the same system can be used with or without the bumper.

    WTB/Looking for a complete set of Ahlman Coilovers Stage II

    Nice and low. That does look pretty similar in height to mine.

    WTB/Looking for a complete set of Ahlman Coilovers Stage II

    Could also be a difference in ride height which will determine the amount of suspension travel available.

    WTB/Looking for a complete set of Ahlman Coilovers Stage II

    I have not noticed any noise from mine. I believe the Penske harshness is due to limited travel particularly in the front where the car is nearly riding on the bump stops when lowered.

    WTB/Looking for a complete set of Ahlman Coilovers Stage II

    There is something about the exposed heim joints and mounting tabs of the Penske shocks that I really like the look of. That being said the ride is extremely harsh regardless of the settings.

    Purpose of the square hole in belly pan

    That sure was convenient to have when I was monitoring an oil pump leak and seal replacement.

    Atmosphere Change since 2017 model?

    Well you know what they say about opinions on design. The performance though is undeniable.

    Michelin tire question size matching the Bridgestone

    That seems to be the consensus. Reducing the pressure will accommodate for the additional center wear.

    Atmosphere Change since 2017 model?

    Twin turbos are amazing. Just do not expect them to make much of a difference when you are up against a Plaid.

    Michelin tire question size matching the Bridgestone

    The Bridgestones are known to wear more heavily at the center.

    Michelin tire question size matching the Bridgestone

    We are discussing measurements to the hundredth of an inch here, so most likely. This should just bring them even closer to OEM diameter than indicated.

    Michelin tire question size matching the Bridgestone

    You also have to consider how wheel width can change the tire diameter. Squeezing a wide tire on a narrow wheel as is the case with with the GT and Bridgestones will increase the diameter more than stretching the same tire on a wider wheel.

    Atmosphere Change since 2017 model?

    While the increase in values must play a role in more cars now staying stock, the shift to electrification has also removed some incentive to modify. It used to be that you could take a car that was already a few years old, as in the case of the GT previously, and throw on a pulley and tune to...

    Interesting article about the control arm recall

    Great stuff. I would actually prioritize having the billet arms over some of the factory options.

    Whipple 4.5L

    You noticed a difference in handling between the 3.4L and 4.0L Whipple on the same car?

    Tires!!

    There should be absolutely no issue running different brand tires front to rear as long as you are aware handling at the limit will change.

    Tires!!

    Since Bridgestone apparently had a recent production run which has already sold out, there must be at least some level of demand for these tires.
