    Quote of the Day

    Since my last quote was too complicated, today's is an simple one that I have to remind myself to use especially in these long winter months “Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.”

    Quote of the Day

    I'd rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star. I'd rather be a has-been than a might-have-been, by far; for a might have-been has never been, but a has-been was once an are.

    Texas Mile March 21-23

    Just heard from Secret Weapon (he's the Dr with the 199.2MPH CTS-V at the Texas Mile) that the mile is in jeopardy of not happening at all. I, too, received the email he quoted, but it didn't mention what he said about the current registrations (I highlighted the registration status). I'll...

    Z06 C6 wheels on XLR

    Thread Moved Done! In answer to your question 265/35/18s stand 25.2", whereas, the OEM tires are 27.2". Also remember these are on 18x9.5" rims. Using the HardBar bolts I can drop the ride height an additional 2-3", but I've learned the hard way that with good downforce up front, during...

    Get Out Of The Car!

    This is a true account recorded in the Police Log of Sarasota, Florida: An elderly Florida lady did her shopping and, upon returning to her car, found four males in the act of leaving with her vehicle. She dropped her shopping bags and drew her handgun, proceeding to scream at the top of her...

    GM Press Release Cadillac Crest Evolves to Reflect Brand Growth

    Let's see. Between the Z06 springs, HardBar lowering bolts and 265/35/18 tires lowers it 2 1/2 inches; the lip spoiler and the rear diffuser adds 6 inches longer; and bumping the boost back up to 24lbs of boost with sporadic 10.9 AFR is pretty lean. This year should be interesting.

    GM Press Release Cadillac Crest Evolves to Reflect Brand Growth

    Maybe my military background is subconsciously influencing my opinion, but I will truly miss the wreath. In the military, you can tell the expertise of an individual by the accessories on their occupation badge: no accessories: basic - most likely a newbie still in training a star on top: senior...

    Huh, what (wiping the sleep from my eyes) As Dan identified above, overdrive gears are not really meant for acceleration. And most LSR racers will tell you that kinda torque wreaks havok on overdrive gears. My tranny temp doubled in just the few seconds it was WOT in 5th. Its my...

    sway bar

    They have different part numbers in the system I checked at the Chevy dealership, but they both (C6 base and XLR-V) use 17.5mm OD shafts. The difference could be any number of things: weight, inner diameter or even paint color (yes, corvettes have different part#s for different paint colored...
