Anyone can go to the GM dealer and buy a ZR1 though. You didn't have to make the list of approved YouTube celebrities.
After the GTD's end up at auctions or on the market they'll go up as well.
I guess we'll have to wait until both cars are on the roads to see how they perform.
I wonder if they are only going to give access to the supercharger companies, and allow them say, 1 tune.
after all the EPA crap in the past I wouldn't be surprised if the custom tuners aren't supported
you've never seen an AR15 with a metal hand guard/rail?
Quickly flowing air across metal that isn't all that hot (how much hotter than ambient do you think an intake pipe is anyway?) isn't going to increase the temperature of the air by much. It's simple physics, at least you're right about...
Intake tubes are made of plastic (I realize this one is silicone) because you can shape them however you want, unlike metal. But metal is used for intercooler piping etc which sits in the engine bay as well.
How long do you think it's in that tube?
Exactly. If people are dumb enough to spend...
plastic will get just as hot. Throttle bodies (of which there are two) are metal.
plus aluminum loses heat really quickly unlike steel or cast iron. You can handle a cookie sheet within a couple minutes from being in a hot oven with bare hands.
besides, the air isn't in that tube long enough...
I cover it because I can't keep the door closed all the or get the garage clean enough.
Clean the garage very very well and seal up any place air/dirt can get in.
