Wider is always going to be faster for sure. It's just a question of whether to cough up the cash for another set of wheels or not, and whether to jump down the rabbit hole of CAM. I can see both...

You can fit any tire onto the stock wheel size (or +/- 1" in diameter) and still run in Street classes, so you can stay in F Street. The size you're looking at is probably pretty good for stock...

I know me well, and I would never rule that out! Still, it's just crazy that both bleeders would have not leaked for a couple months and multiple other motorsports events, and then suddenly both of...

The only data you have has the cars on vastly different tires, and not on the same day/conditions. Again, for on-track performance, the C7 is lighter, its weight is better distributed, it's lower,...

The thing about putting power down is just silly. C7s are all faster in autocross situations, where putting power down is a really big deal.

I thought MRC was part of the Z51 package, but I guess...

You can think whatever you want. Those of us who autocross and track our cars alongside similarly prepped C7s and other cars know. The bigger brakes mean nothing to one-lap speeds, but since the C7...

I don't know where you're getting your data, but an SS 1LE would not "eat the lunch of" a C7 Z51 on a road course or autocross. The C7 is a lighter, smaller, lower-CG car with a more favorable...

I agree with arpad that those wheels will fit fine. He's right that the tire fitment can work on those wheels, but the rim widths are a bit on the narrow side for them (they will work though). I...

I love the Z28 look, and I love the 6th-gen SS 1LE look. I also have three sets of MRR replica ZL1 1LE wheels, so I obviously think they look good too. But yeah, this is pure opinion...except that...

Absolutely: nothing opinion about it! That combo has a rear diameter 6% bigger than the front, and the ABS is going to shit a brick.

The stock fronts (245/40/20 Goodyear Eagle F1) could conceivably be stretched onto a 10" rim width without much drama. The specs on that tire give a rim width range of 8-9.5", so you'd only be going...

It should be pulling power (or maybe just remapping the throttle pedal?) and maybe changing the diff characteristics. I'm not sure if it changes the damper settings from Tour mode. I know my SS 1LE...

The XL is bigger and quiets buffeting more than the original, and apparently the PDR mic(s) is in a vulnerable spot for wind noise and the XL does an especially better job for it. But you can use...

Make sure you're running in Track Mode. It gives the throttle mapping a more gradual tip-in so that it's easier to manage. Beyond that, tires make a world of difference. For example, Bridgestone...

For the reason mentioned, I would also encourage you to use those 315 Vitours up front. IME they are good track tires but not great for autocross use because of the heat thing. If you've seen of...

No Camaro is going to make it through 12-20" of unplowed snow, obviously. But neither is any other car: the limitation there is going to be ground clearance between the tires. I live in St. Louis,...

Agreed on the torque wrench: I have a 3/8"-drive wrench that is calibrated in in/lbs (or N/m to the tenth). It maxes out at something like 35-40 N/m, so it's perfect for this job.

Wasn't sure whether to ask this in the 1LE forum or the Suspension/Brake forum. Asking here because it's probably specific to the Brembo calipers and this where the track junkies hang out.

AC Delco 171-1040 and 25940447 is the correct front pad. 85115095 seems to say "on or after Jan 2021," and based on the difference in prices I'm guessing it's a different pad compound at least.

They are not backwards. They are showing you psring rate, not wheel rate or vehicle weight. But what makes you say your ZL1 1LE "is not 450 lb/in on the front?"
