Performance modification/C8

[Vettenut]

I was warned by Corvette conciergerie not to add to performance modes. So for now, I will change my wheels, next year. Here they are.View attachment 111904

Beautiful wheels

Do ya think these exact wheels in a brighter shade might pop more ?

Im seeing these rapid and elkhart blues with brushed alluminum ... dam they look sweet

They have gun metal, black or something like copper.

Thanks JR

See your not just a pretty face

Notice a diff with the attack blue ?

I thought I could hear a bit more air coming in. As far as the 6hp they claim, if anyone claims they can feel it in their "Seat of their pants dyno", they deserve a couple of boots to their seat of their pants*...

I have an Attack Blue air filter waiting to be installed. Might add a couple of extra HP. I'm waiting until I feel that I have enough experience with the C8 to be able to determine if this filter makes any difference or not. Probably near the end of the summer I will install it, based on the remaining current filter life.
My plan is to keep the original filter around and temporarily use it when the Attack Blue filter needs to be washed out.

Any update on your Vinyl licence plate? Durability?

Any update on your Vinyl licence plate? Durability?

Interesting you should ask....I got pulled over last week for having no front plate visible. I was running with the cover on. I decided to keep the cover off for a while, so I will report back on durability in a month or two.

 

[Jack Raccoon!]

Charges?

 

[Mach147]

Charges?

Just a $113 fine, no demerits.

 

[Jack Raccoon!]

Ouch....

Has anyone experienced wheel hop, when taking off at a light?

Has anyone experienced wheel hop, when taking off at a light?

I haven’t. I have started quickly. But I have never floored the pedal from a complete stop.

Has anyone experienced wheel hop, when taking off at a light?

Yes. It all depends on traction and road conditions

 

[WLGJ]

It surprised me . Clean dry road, asphalt. I have summer tires Z51 kit.

 

[Jack Raccoon!]

Was the front lift up...

Is your car broken in? Sorry, I can't remember but didn't you just get it?
The car actually learns some as it ages, but clean dry roads are more conducive to great traction than old dirty roads. If conditions change as you drive, you can get some wheel hop, but it shouldn't be much and the nannies should kick in.

 

[Jack Raccoon!]

Turn off your traction control. Better yet have it disabled...

 

[WLGJ]

Car is fully broken in. 2600 kms on it.

 

[Jack Raccoon!]

Maybe you fully broke in your rear axel. Not in a good way...

Well if it's that easy to break this car, I need a new one.

 

[WLGJ]

Was the front lift up...

I don't have that option.

 

[Jack Raccoon!]

I thought you were a drag racer?! Before you launch, you raise the front lift. This gives the illusion that your front tires are off the ground, and the Tesla in the right lane will back off, accept defeat, and have enough juice to drive home...
