To me simple is relative.

Imo that is simple to do for a lot of people (not me) but not doable/ attainable/ reasonable for others.

I find rebuilding a 4l60e simple, many here would not.

To me, the meth kit and flex fuel tuning would be the not simple part. Everything else seems to be pretty standard stuff.

Unfortunate news

“There are no plans to bring back the Camaro. Once these cars are gone, they are gone,” said Chris Polites, executive director of sales and marketing for HSV, in a recent interview with Drive.

A bit misleading - Camaro is gone from Australia moving forward. No definite 6th gen replacement in NA either, but the S550 has no successor other than a 4 door Tesla as well.

Yea, Ive heard you just pop the hood and throw them in and close the hood. They'll bang around for a bit but eventually settle down.

It was only referencing Australia in the post for cancellations. Younger generations don’t seem to be into cars too much. Many of my customers with kids approaching driving age don’t seem to be into any cars when I start up a conversation. Crazy to me

2 months of isolation with their parents will cause big changes in that mindset.

Depends how young you refer to. **** I know a 20 year old with a 1970 supercharged C10. Then again i'm probably in a different field than most on here.

we just put a set of their headers and true duals on an fbody. Speed engineering that is, and it fit like ****. Literally hit everything possible

Everything will eventually turn into something akin to this mustang mach e. Gm's upcoming electric car platform will basically interchange bodies from what i understand.

Electrification will greatly enhance automotive dynamics.

I guess we'll see more on the new hummer here soon.

I think it's a term for when the block isn't removed from the cradle.......not the car but the cradle.

Because you as you can tell from some of your own and others comments that is a big no no.

But then on the other hand a completely sleeved and reinforced block is still a stock block......weird eehh.

the cruise in/racing crowd around here has definitely aged.
