    I put mine under the garage floor because it was easier to dig there where the excavator had already dug (filled with sand) than outside where the ground was like caliche (cement).

    Yeah; I had to go down 10 ft because of the dryness of the surroundings.

    I would think that suddenly appearing in 1955 with a C8 would be mind blowing. 88 mph seems so slow though for a C8. The Flux capacitor has been prototyped.

    The electriciy used for electrolysis is generated by green devices (Wind, solar, wave action). Nobody said it is free. $$$

    The fuel is made from CO2 out of the atmosphere; electrolysis is used to release water's H2 and then chemical reactions to create CH3OH. Upon burning, the CO2 is sent back to the atmosphere from where it came initially and the rest is converted back to water thus being carbon neutral and clean...

    Porsche E - fuel allows one to keep their ICE vehicle and have it run carbon neutral thus avoiding future lithium battery replacement. https://artofgears.com/2023/12/19/ever-porsches-efuel/ https://dealer.porsche.com/ca/lauzon/en-CA/News-and-Events/Carburant-efuel Electric vehicles are not the...

    Which dealers exempted Luxury Tax for orders before 2022

    Seems that this rule at Finch still applies as I received this yesterday for a deposit/sales agreement from Nov. 2021: "individuals who submitted their orders before 2022 are exempt from luxury tax." = $11,808 savings !!!! Yippee!!!!

    Eddie X said

    A few days later, Eddie X said it again. I'm leaning towards the ERay (I am on both lists). I drive my 2021 Z51 C8 daily and have 32 k kms on it now (and that's with it hibernating in the winter for about ten months over that time period). I think the Z06 will be like my old racing bike; very...

    Eddie X said

    that his Z06 has no torque. That is compared to the ERay. 30-50 mph in 1.7 sec 50-70 mph in 2.0 sec The other variants don't come close. Now; do I want to zoom quickly or sound like I am?

    Speed bumps

    Mine is lowered by 3/4" and will not bottom out on "standard" speed bumps but I have seen some bumps that look like vertical walls and avoid these, of course. Always slow down and straddle the bump as much as possible.

    Coupe or Convertible, if you've had both and were going to order again?

    Just talked to my neighbour who has a coupe (I have an HTC) and he said his next one will be an HTC for sure.

    Z06 OFFICIAL LIST of who is on the list? who is staying? who is dropping?

    Great on the track. Not so much going to Dairy Queen or whatever. I'm on a dual list (Z06/ERay) with one deposit and whatever comes up first(Z06/ERay). If declined, I don't lose my spot and just wait for the next one available (if Z06 declined then ERay and vice versa).

    GM Canadian Zo6 Pricing

    Configured mine just like my current Z51 HTC FE4 and the cost is +$50k over what I paid before (~$90k) + Luxury Tax on the $40k over $100k (~$8k) for a total of $58k for the LT6 vs LT2, a wider body and big ass tires/wheels. This car is primed for a good flip after six months.
