Mad Hatter replied to the thread S197 Boss 302 in Chile.Its going to be fun, I think... As time has gone by.... all the cars are going faster then before. The fastest is a F80 M3 with some 600rwhp and more torq then he knows what to do with. Looking at all the ways to make more power AND go faster... (see full post)

Junkyard Dog replied to the thread Rotating your tires on a track weekend.So I have been researching Vorshlag online, looking at their posts, blog, videos, etc. That 18 x 12 Apex wheel (sorry I missed all of this information watching the video previously) is what they installed on their car called "Trigger."

Bill Pemberton replied to the thread Bob's Ton of Posts!.Boy can I relate Tracy because as an Air Force brat dad pretty much expected a sharply made bed before my brother and I went to school. Yes , I could bounce a quarter off my bed, haha. (see full post)
- TeeLew replied to the thread S550 Do transmission scoops make a difference?.Interesting. I've got a Mantic ceramic twin disc with an AL flywheel going in with the new engine. I wonder if I'll notice a difference in shifting? It should free-rev a hell of a lot faster, that's for sure. We 4-banger guys turn 1000-1500 revs... (see full post)
- TeeLew replied to the thread S550 Feedback request.Keep in mind here, baby steps with all of this. It's very rarely a case of, "Just send it", and this isn't one of them.There's more to be had on the brakes and entry. The car is perfectly stable and the tires are quiet until you turn the wheel...

Mad Hatter replied to the thread S197 Boss 302 in Chile.I feel like a woodchuck coming out of hibernation!! Hoping to get the car up and racing again in a few months.

(see full post)- Firefighter46 replied to the thread S197 BackInBlack.I think you're looking at it from the right perspective. Weigh the costs vs. the outcomes and any potential damage to both the engine and your wallet. Keep realistic expectations and just drive it until you're ready to do the work you know it needs.

- t-ray replied to the thread Correct Wiring Harness for 2013 Boss?.I hate to say it but I didn't even open the box. It was shipped and sat in a closet until my friend could fit me in his schedule.

Junkyard Dog replied to the thread Rotating your tires on a track weekend.I doubt there is going to be any way to run a 12" wide wheel up front in any event, so that may be out.That's too bad. That means never any racing slicks to try out on the S650. (see full post)
