Exactly. Lots of people who own performance cars have never gone over 100mph and find the fairly brisk acceleration of cars like the Z to be nearly frightening.

That thin oil flows nicely at freezing and even below. The main reason for hot oil temps is to vaporize contaminates like moisture. Once the coolant is up to temp, the clearances will be where they belong.

Warranties are available from multiple sources. You can also negotiate pricing.

There are catted downpipes available. No need to install a bare tube that sticks out like a sore thumb.

Exhaust design is heavily dictated by emissions and sound control options at the factory. I can't imagine why anyone would spend money on exhaust changes, and not dump the tiny, restrictive, lower downpipes. Improved downpipes have three, immediate advantages: A little more power and quicker...

It's interesting that a few factory engines these days, with high-output, are engineered far more robust than engines 50 years ago. Emission qualifications and warranties have something to do with that. Then there is the handful of racers that don't like the engines grenading on track days. Add...

People's perception of acceleration vary greatly.

So, some engines are a bit looser than others. An engine that puts a few ounces into a catch can between oil changes, is headed for heavy carbon buildup on the intake valves on a DI engine. It might take 40,000 miles to sap more than 5-6 hp, but it will happen. Most likely you can assume even a...

On most engines catch cans don't have much value if they don't consume much oil. But direct injection engines have no way to clean the intake valves of oily vapors that try to collect from the PCV system.

The Rays wheels are already fairly light,, and very well engineered.

I am planning on buying a '27. Since the hood is already lightweight aluminum I will just install vents to aid in the intercooler efficiency. Regarding comments on steam, I never found that to be an issue with my Shelby GLHS, living in rainy Washington.

Use the factory torque specs. If the ZCP pan comes with their own bolts, their torque would be appropriate. If you make sure all threads are clean, you can put a dab of silicone sealant on the bolt threads. It will add a tiny bit of security preventing loosening but, will also aid in stopping...

Your dealer doesn't care about your tire experience. The factory tires are largely chosen based on tread wear, noise, and cost. 90 percent of drivers just drive the cars. Spirited driving terrifies most drivers. Seeing classic muscle car owners driving white-knuckled, turning 90mph, 15 second...
