We have Farm Bureau and are very pleased with them both with price and service. This winter, my truck was attacked twice by mice.. Who chewed a lot of wires. A neighbor suggested getting it fixed and filing under comprehensive or zero deductible. I paid, submitted a claim and they paid twice...

Welcome.. I've won and lost with extended warranties.. I won big time with a 1990s full size Olds Aurora and saved about 5-6 hundred or so with my 2010 Chevy Sierra. To be fair, the Sierra's suspension repairs were more the product of NC and SC's roads than a fault of the truck. I lost on my...

Welcome to CAC and the group.

First, GM's 650 is flywheel horsepower; not Rear Wheel Horse Power. 650 RWHP is more than 700 or so FWHP.. The reason is drive trains have significant losses. Of course they are reputable and two of the best. Tell either you want 750-800 RWHP, then ask what drive train changes are needed to...

Welcome to CAC..

Welcome to CAC. :D

The first question, what do you plan to do with the increased power? Next, will the stock drive train handle the power for the application you have chosen?

Actually what you said needed to be said. Potentially, too much down force at the rear could lift the front. As Bill Elliot demonstrated in the mid-1980s, too much lift can make a Winston Cup car fly; well, try to fly.. :D

Welcome to CAC and the group! Nice collection of beauties....

Welcome to CAC and the group!!

Welcome to CAC and the group. The best Corvette is the one you own..

What kind of fouling?

Methinks he read a sig line... We should be grateful he didn't read Mac's sig line: "Common sense is like deodorant. The folks who need it most never seem to use it and there's no polite way to tell them." :chuckle

Mostly definitely a lot of fun.. Why build it, if one can't run it? :chuckle I try, but at idle, it hisses, but it's not a snake.. So much for stealth mode.. :L

No one should race where there are crossroads and us, hicks in the sticks with access to a few miles of no access, have deer crossings.. Anyone who builds and enjoys fast cars has been a dumb ass and often. Real fast cars actually slow folks with common sense down.. That being said, agreed...

Actually the only way of telling what was alloyed with aluminum was used would be be working in GM's design group... Zinc-aluminum alloys have advantages: Zinc-Aluminum Foundry Alloys Pure aluminum is less common that magnesium or zinc alloyed with aluminum: The Difference Between Aluminum...

Tom: It certainly was a lot of money back then.. OTOH, although we made a lot less; our buying power was a lot more.. In addition we could buy unobtanium in today's world... Or remember the days of a few gallons of blue Sunoco 260 for a dollar?? ;)

Tom, You are more than welcome.. There isn't much difference in power between H and X and sound has never been important.. All those loud sounding ricers prove that.. :chuckle

In addition to what Hib said. A functional wing requires a lot of "tuning." An airplane wing creates lift and a car wing creates down force.. Setup a functional car wing incorrectly and potentially one could create more down force than you want. At high speeds, if the rear wing provides too...

Kane, well said. To some, a car is an appliance same as a computer. To me, some cars "call" to me and others don't. It's all personal opinion and the only one that matters is our own.
