    Random Pictures You Took

    1st Vette, your pictures and comments on the weather bring back lots of memories for me. Worked in exploration mining my whole life, first trips to NT in 76 and 77 during the summer , then back again for the diamond rush every year from 1993 untill 2008 exploration drilling . We would come mid...

    What Oil Should You Use in the C8 Z06?

    Yes well Mobil 1 0 w 40 on hot summer days in my Gallardo in stop and go traffic would drop the oil pressure to less than 10 lbs at idle and trip the low oil pressure warning light. Switched to Amsoil and it never happened again, always 20 psi minimum. Personally not a fan of Mobil 1 . But...

    How Has Your Z06 Ownership Been?

    I also wanted a 458 but ended up with a GT4RS, 50000 cheaper, ( I got a 2023 with 450km’s on it )ten years newer , revs to 9000, bullet proof and track ready. The car is a beast! But as you say they are probably one of the last NA cars left. It is a shame for sure . I have never driven a Z06 but...

    Amsoil oil, Toronto where to get some???

    If you have a business , open a commercial account with a distributor, I have had one for 40 years with the same distributor I can give you his contact info if you want. Commercial pricing is better than what is listed on their website. Once the account is open you just deal direct with Amsoil...

    C8 OEM Performance Exhaust Sucks. LOl..

    I have a Shelby gt 350, Gallardo SE and a Porsche GT4RS, they all sound amazing from behind the wheel and add to the smile on my face when I step on the throttle.The C8 is an awesome car as well but I tend to agree that it needs a V8 rumble that you need to hear and feel from the drivers seat...

    Oil pressure issues

    On my C 5 when it was pegged all the way to the right it was the sensor. Replaced and it has been fine for a year now. I am original owner and did not want to cut cowling so removed the intake, not that big of a deal, afternoon job.

    “Amplify” C8 Build - Sharing is caring

    Awesome job Vacek. Lots of times these mods that people do look tacky and cheap taking away from the car. What you have done and the way you have done it greatly enhances the look of the car, at least to me anyways.
