If you are spending more than $2000 on a set of wheels they better be forged, not rotary forged,...

Yes, it will kill AFM but I'm pretty sure the AFM valves aren't closing after the motor starts up. It gets quieter because it comes off high idle. If it is the AFM valves closing its not in...

That Corvette shop is wrong, I've owned both. Don't get me wrong, the SS is the best Camaro yet but the C7 Corvette, even in its base form has a slight edge in both categories.

Did you take delivery of a 2017?

The PO is only valid for a certain time and only redeemed upon delivery so if your car is ordered and doesn't show up until after the PO expires you're SOL.
