    BC - Recommendations for a dealership

    I'm not sure that this is relevant. GM looses money on every base C8. It's only when the car gets loaded with options do they make any profit. I know when they first started advertising the C8 that they said the car would not go over 58K US. Someone told me they were going to stay near this...

    In home car lift?

    You could hire a wrecker/tow truck or find a friend who has a company with a above ground loading dock.Then take the parts one by one back to your place. Pulleys can be rented,but you need a super strong beam to hang them from.2 pulleys inline would work great and help spread the load.You offer...

    Detailing the engine bay

    For simple dust and dirt,you can use a quality spray cleaner such as Simple Green or Spray 9 followed by a garden hose. A warm water rince would be nice.If you have compressed air that will be a big help and also blows out leaves and debri.A can of compressed air will also work.If you have a...

    Caliper cover's or paint

    I bought some new calipers for my Silverado SS.I painted them with a brush with the Duplicolour kit.They came out nice and still look like new,2 months later.I think the fact that they were new made it easier.

    Gone in 6 seconds

    That is one badass ride.Rod has had a lot of fast cars in the past.I remember about 20 years ago he had a late 50s Vette that ran in one of those Chicago Outlaw classes.He was leader of the pack with a NA BBC while the rest of the cars were on the bottle.Must be nice to have too much cash!

    More nitto's

    I've heard the Invos are a good all round tire.NT05s are also a great tire but I would go with NT555s if I wanted that type of tire as they are much better in the rain.With anything over 600RWHP you are really limited for a street tire that will hook.The Nitto DRs worked well for me and lasted...

    I'm confused.Is Beancounter considering buying a ZR1 or does he want to build on what he has?Have you reworked many ZR1s Manny?Maybe I'm sleeping but I havn't seen any on the street or at some of the high end shops I've been to. Thanks

    Winter Storage Tips

    I don't like to start my car every couple of weeks like some people do.If you make the motor air tight it will stop any internal rust or moisture from forming.I stuff my tail pipes with T shirts and also pull any breathers and stuff the holes with rags.You can also do the same with the throttle...
