If you want a full race pad that will never fade and last a long time and has stable torque characteristics, then look into the Raybestos ST43 compound. Incredibly good racing pad. NOT suitable at all for street use. But for real wheel to wheel race use, it’s my go to pad. I run it on my...

no way I'd put anything less than 91 in a CTR. I never personally put less than 93 in it. remember, this is a high boost (20+ psi) and high compression turbo motor. detonation will happen if you put 87 in it and romp on the accelerator (the ecu will pull as much timing as it can but i'm...

thanks man! the little boutique performance car dealership I bought it from (it was the owner's personal car, he bought it new last June) told me it was one of 8 ZL1 1 LE in Rally Green Metallic for 2020. I'm not sure where that number came from, but as you said, it seems to be a exceedingly...

hey there! thanks for the comment - I was told to beware of the visibility issues; but for me (I'm 5'-11" and 185lbs) it turned out to be a non issue. I felt very comfy driving it, and I had to drive it home from NJ in fairly heavy traffic (it's NOT a good car for that lol). it comes...

my EG with me in it weighs in around 2400 lbs. the FD with the LS3 weighs in around 2700 lbs and he makes around 530 whp. he's fast real fast.

wow I've never seen that color either! that color screams 'get outta my way!!!' :)

oh boy that is a beautiful car man! the LS Boss is the best of it's breed. looks fantastic!

I probably should set something up on YT you're right! ok here's another from 2019 in the EG. it was from Jefferson Ciruit long course in WV. the PHA hillclimb association rented out the track and we did timetrials on it all weekend. out of like close to 100 cars mine was the second fastest...

i know i know lol! when I went to see it in person I was trying to play it cool (to try to get the best deal you know?) but I was like OMG I have to have this !!! it was that color. I'd never seen that color (the dealer told me it is ultra rare; he thinks maybe 8 of them? IDK about that...

lb ft baby! at anything over 2k rpm when you dip into the throttle it leaps ahead. zero hesitation it just goes. that's the personality from a large displacement supercharged engine. the CTR is lively; this thing is monstrous. I'd throw the keys to my CTR to any one of my friends and not...

thanks man! that's how I look at it too; the Type R is sort of JDM FWD muscle. the two cars sit side by side and they are sort of complimentary to each other; the best of the FWD chassis engineering vs the best of the RWD chassis engineering. I can't ever see myself selling the CTR I...

haha no worries! I didn't want to be stepping on anyone else's toes in the CTR community! ya my EG is a special car to me. over the years it and I have been through a lot. I used to race it wheel to wheel for many years (back with EMRA and then as a Honda Challenge H1 car). now it's mostly...

I'm sorry I didn't mean to glom onto someone else's thread; as I mentioned I had purchased my ZLE a couple weeks ago and wasn't making plans to say anything much about it but then I saw the Tesla guy comparing his new M3 to the CTR as a 'muscle car' and it struck me as something I should post...

the engine is the LT4 6.2 liter supercharged. it's 650 hp / 650 tq. it's a monster! for drag racing they recommend the standard ZL1 (non 1LE) with the 10 sp automatic. the standard ZL1 has the mag ride suspension (kinda like what our CTRs have) that allows you to soften it up a lot and...

just as a fun post, cause I wasn't planning on bringing it up, but then I saw the post blow up with the 'sold my CTR for a Tesla 'muscle car'! so I've owned my '18 CTR since brand new. it's totally stock except for the removal of the 20" wheels and addition of 18" Rays (I live in the...

just my opinion, but the motor got 'hurt' some time back, for some reason. it held together for a while and then let go cruising down the highway. the ticking sound was it telling you it was hurt and not to drive it. i race cars (i have a SCCA and a NASA and a VRG racing licenses) and one...

i'm glad to see a port injected meth system; I don't think that the single injector method is a good idea when trying to add lots of fuel. the balance between cylinders is so much better with port injection. quick dumb question for you -- how thick is the oem plastic intake manifold? if it's...

i've never heard of it being done like that but i'd say to check with a qualified machine shop and see if that is a valid way to test it. if so that would be an easier way to go

hello and you're very welcome! the springs and retainers can be taken off often without removing the head (I always have taken the head off my K24/20 EG racecar) if the shop you use has an air fitting to hold the valves up and has the spring compressor attachment to remove the retainer locks...

this is 100% wrong; there is no such thing as a 'free spin'; the crank and rods and pistons and valvetrain are all connected mechanically and can't be de-coupled for a 'free spin'. if you over rev the motor by money shifting it and let out the clutch all the way, the motor WILL go to whatever...
