The cars and bikes thread!

Yeah I dunno. We'll see. I just like talking about cars.

Yes, it's the same on the CTS-V, even at stock heights, I have to be careful. I see slammed out cars all the time, but I just don't see the point.

In most cases (unless you know what you're doing) lowering has the opposite effect of making the car worse to drive.

Roads here in Maryland are generally pretty good. I lower a lot of my cars without any troubles but I can appreciate that is not the case in all parts of the country.

A modest drop and an alignment usually doesn't cause any issues.

On my C5 Corvette, there is an adjustment from the factory that allows a 20-25mm drop.



The air deflector scrapes a lot but I generally don't hit anything else.

Nope. This wasn't a judgment, it was a joke. Actually two jokes...

Ah. Wasn't looking at the background.

Or maybe as a watch guy you only recognize pallet FORKS.

A low car would be hopeless round here. Many of the roads are built on banks that drained the marsh several hundred years ago. The banks are irresistible to badgers. Overnight, a part of the road can drop nine inches.

Explain please Wayne?

Explain please Wayne?

The car made 363hp to the tires when stock (rated 405hp crank). I added long tube headers with high flow cats and a tune - jumped to 388hp at the tires.

Then I added a Vortech VSi trim blower at 6.5psi and a retune - 544hp to the tires.

I had a motor built and now I'm finishing up direct port nitrous setup.

I'd like to make 750hp at the tires. Looking to get it on the dyno and track this spring. I'm still building the nitrous and standalone​ fuel system.
