Installed 265/35/19 and 295/30/20 Cup 2's on my Z51.....what a f'kn difference. The amount of confidence these tires give you in unbelievable, I turn into corners much faster without feeling a drift (understeer and oversteer). These tires make driving fun again.

Default Found/Fixed GS Noise Problem

Have had an unusual noise only on full right lock slow turn! Sounded like when we put playing cards attached to the fork of a bicycle with a clothespin so it hit the spokes!

Jacked the car up with tires at full right lock. Found the plastic brake duct was rubbing the tire! Wasn't by much so it would bend and slip lie the playing card!

Fixed with a saw and Dremel sanding drum!

I'm waiting for my APR rear its the 5th week already for them to make it then send it

Everything on your car looks exactly like mine now.

I would recomend future mood to be carbon flash emblems they show better on a white car.

First car show. Just a local fun event to benefit Wounded Warriors project. The beautiful blue 55 Chev Del Ray next to me is my brother-in-law's car. Now HE is a car fanatic. Kind of a fun experience, but sitting around in 94 degree heat gets a little old. As a casual show, a little bit of everything showed up . . .
