Had my dealer install a Z51 sway bar upgrade kit on my 2017 with MRC. Ready for autocross season. Purchased from Trunk Monkey with free 2nd day delivery. If I was 20 years younger I would have done it myself. Will be 75 way too soon.

No lift shift for the first time. Unnatural, but good God is awesome.

For the uninitiated, would you kindly explain what that means?
Thanks...
And to answer the question, I was out in the Vette today and got caught in the rain on the way back home. So, I washed it, blow-dried it, and detailed the tires and wheels. All in all, a great day.

No shift lift is when you keep your foot pressed on the accelerator pedal during a shift. The car knows you pushed on the clutch pedal and modified the electronic throttles reaction appropriately. Therefore you don't have to worry about the timing of removing and placing your foot on the accelerator pedal during a shift.

The rev match is a wonderful technology started by Nissan on the 370 back in 2009. Trivia.

What LT1 Z51 said. No need for any fancy footwork. Keep the accelerator to the floor.

There is no need to buy an entire exhaust system just to have black tips.
Here is my NPP exhaust. A 3 hour job mainly had to wait between paint coats.
Never even took the exhaust off. Regards to painting, it's all about the prep. I have NEVER had any paint fade, dull or peel from exhaust tips. Exhaust tip temps on most cars typically go from 300F-500F at most.
Parts needed:
3M Scotch Pad $4
Black High Gloss High Temperature Spray Paint $6
Masking tape $4

Marked yet another week where my carbon fiber spoiler is not yet in my hands.
But wait! There's more... I finally received my GS Creations clear 6 piece kit (side markers and rear reflectors) in the mail yesterday. I open the box today to find lovely pair of smoked tail light covers staring back at me. I'm sure mistaking a different SKU / priced item with no physical dimensions in common with what was actually ordered happens every day... right ?

Thank you, I've been a Nikon user since my grandfather handed me down one of his. The camera I use now for top quality shots is the Nikon D810 DSLR with an AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm lens. The D810 has an incredible 36.3 Megapixels in a full frame format to produce such high res images.
Here's a couple more with same lens.
