  1. Amazing. Is that a straight axle in the back? The way these trucks flex and roll is amusing. The combination of engine torque, lateral acceleration, and flex in the suspension and tires picks up the front left very easily.
  2. Top Gear ain't no Top Gear without Clarkson, or any of the three.
  3. While it's a public street and anyone can park a legally-registered vehicle EVEN in front of your house, kiling grass and creating a muddy mess isn't cool especially since that green space is your responsibility. I suggest talking to them first, simply explain that you wanted to keep the grass green and growing and avoiding bald, muddy spot. Regarding parking and partially blocking the driveway, it is a parking violation. A vehicle cannot be parked within a 3-foot space from any driveway EVEN IF it's your own. I hate to do the following, but if talking has gotten you nowhere, call and report the violation and the description of the vehicle to the police. Personally, I'm cool with a vehicle parked up to my driveway, even a couple of feet of blockade especially if it's a neighbor I'm on good terms with and it's not a daily occurrence. I myself use that 10'-11' space from time to time and I make sure my vehicle blocking my driveway instead of theirs.
  4. That wheel is toast. If it was a steel wheel, it would have a chance for repair. The aluminum will develop crack either during the repair process or later on during usage post-repair. Don't reuse the tire, it likely has internal damage with that much impact.
  5. Knowing JET AG reputation on this board, you got nothing to worry about.
  6. Now there are two CR members working there. You may see all of my GM vehicles sans the Caddy there this year.
  7. I used Pilot Transport to bring my Z06 from NH to OH.
  8. The comment about "flat 4" was not even a guess, please, lighten up a bit.
  9. How did it achieve 306hp? 10,000 rpm redline on a flat 4?
  10. Not as much as the cost suggests since you already got all those in place.
  11. Happy Birthday, my dear Hobbit. May your wisdom and health progress as age. That picture is disturbing.
  12. Wonder if they will honor the parts sold by the "old" company.
  13. Thanks, but I should have mentioned a '15 with manual.
  14. Whoa, $10k discount on a $46k MSRP? WHERE CAN I FIND ONE?
  15. I see a 4-pot Brembo caliper for the rear.
  16. Motorsport Tech will fabricate any adapter you want, but that's a moot point.
  17. Stretch for me. The sidewall has much less movement yielding a more precise handling and its consequences and advantages. The Pirelli slicks on my Z06 are 305 mm and 315 mm in width, they are mounted on 11" and 13" wide wheels, respectively. Not an ideal tire-wheel size combination if you asked me, but the sidewalls of these tires stay put and help the tread section to hold its shape. The resulting sharp handling helps me with consistency and predictability. To answer your questions. There is a limit on each end; exceeding that limit creates a risky characteristic situation. Not to mention wrong application in a wrong situation. For example, a stretched tire, even mildly, would be a disaster in Baja 1000 and a balloon tire would not fare well in a British Touring Car Championship.
  18. It looks really clean. There is no sign of abuse and neglect from the pictures. Does it have a low mileage?
