I thought it would be a little faster too, but it is what it is. It’s still faster than the GT3 RS and the GTD for a fraction of the cost. I’d call that a win regardless.
Yes: a ZR1 with the ZTK package and carbon aero along with competition seats is 190K, so about half the price of a GTD with the track package, which is about 368K. Sure, ZR1s are going for a premium now, but it’s not a limited production car—if you want a ZR1 and are financially capable of...
I also think it’s a win for Chevy that anyone that has the means will be able to eventually buy a ZR1/ZR1X, instead of having to be an influencer and submit an application to Ford for the privilege of paying almost twice as much to be slower.
“Complete flop” 🤣 It’s a car designed for the street first and foremost, as opposed to the GTD that was designed as a track monster that happens to be street legal. It also costs about half the price, by the way. Oh, and both the base ZR1 and the ZR1X were faster. They also have nicer interiors...
Nobody is saying that they actually make the car faster, they’re saying that it makes the car feel faster due to making the throttle response being more aggressive. For some people, that’s enough. There are a lot of modern drive by wire cars that can feel sluggish depending on throttle tuning...
As others have said, the tune is giving you more than just peak hp. Typically, they're getting more hp and torque throughout the rev range. The Ford Performance tune for the S550 for 2015-2017 cars also allowed no-lift shifting (which wasn't standard on the car at the time), allowed for...
I see this posted all the time on car forums, and it's never that simple. The reality is that the dealership doesn't have to prove shit in order to not cover something. They can--and many will--say "your car was tuned, so this isn't covered by warranty." It's then up to you to either find...
I had Kooks green catted headers on my S550 and never had any issues. I’m in a state that checks emissions via OBD as well. I have no experience with them on the S650 though.
Edmunds compares all kinds of stuff, and some of the comaprisons make more sense than others. I don't think this one is too far out of left field personally, but I get that it's not like they're comparing the Mustang to the Camaro (which obviously isn't even possible anymore).
Is this based on the one YouTube video where a guy that couldn't even pronounce "Nordschleife" cobbled together a time based on methodology only slightly better than me picking a number out of my ass? If so, that guy is a clown that has no idea what he's talking about. I'm not saying that the...
