I bought an extended warranty , so I do not want to lose that. I think , maybe GM , will want to make the performance mods, through them. Lots of money in that kind of mods. I was told , not even a cold air intake.!!!!
GM is very slow in this sector.
I read they are going to increase HPs in the C8 , soon and they mentioned that a computer tune will be available for the older C8s.
Fords Mustangs GT, are now at 500 HPs, stock, (Darkhorse) and that will be the reason they have to do something , soon. Anyway, it sucks, that we cannot tinker, with such a great car. I was hoping to drag race 100% stock and try all the available options on my Vette. Then, add a C.A.Q. The, add drag radials , maybe a computer tuning , etc., maybe change the exhaust, for extra performance but I do not touch the car mechanically like changing anything on the motor or trans. So what I was told, it seems like I will have to keep it 100% stock , until my warranty is up.
the "500 mustang horse power" is different from "500 corvette horsepower" and different from "500 Porsche horsepower"GM is very slow in this sector.
I agree, but its also about manufactures rating engines. Mustangs perform as expected, corvette perform like they have more power than rated and Porsche and BMW perform like they just made up a lower number just to mess with the competition
They are supposed to follow standards when doing their ratings, but I agree with you, they will fudge numbers for their own benefit.
We have about 50 lbs. more torque than the Mustangs, which I knew, makes a big diff. I have seen live on the track/drag racing.
When adding mods, you need a computer tuner, most of the time. I modified my last 3 Mustangs and they all added performance and I never had trouble. Increase hp and torque and better quarter mile runs.
Though Ford has a lot of factory/ warranty backed parts and suppliers. Makes it a lot less risky than going 3rd party. Not familiar enough with GM enough yet to know if they have such in house options.
