Re: SLP Cold air intake....Worth the money?
I am always amazed at the response to 4:10 gear ratios. The negative remarks surrounding these gears is almost comical. From a dead stop and launch it is more difficult to not have tire spin but I...

Re: 4.10 gears...not what I expected.

Re: Fascinating F1 power technology
I miss the real F1 engine sounds. These new motors sound like a Subaru WRX with a plug wire disconnected. Yuch. Very disappointed. SHowing my age but I prefer huge rear tires, big FN wings bag the...

Re: Time to face the music.
I guess the key word in all of this is "collector" not really how great a car really is. I think I have some perspective on this. In 1981 I bought a 1966 GT350 H. Black/Gold stripes 4 spd. I restored...

Charlie, now that you have gotten new tires, opting for the 410's will be a good option. Phil and I have them and I would never go back. The Zr-1s are not exactly torque monsters with minor mods so...
