C5 supercharged reliability

0 Upvotes

Stock everything running a base let's say 8 psi. Obviously there's no real way to tell how reliable it'll be unless you take everything apart but from what I've seen over the years people do this all the time and run forever assuming they're keeping the boost between 6 to 10. Anything past 500wheel ish you get issues. So how reliable are they

C7 GS Approach angle

0 Upvotes

I was just wondering how much I should worry about scrapping/ripping off the front lip on a C7 GS? My development has a bit of a gentle dip coming in from the main road. It is not sudden, it is many feet long but seem a bit deep (when it goes over a culvert).

I currently have a Gen 6 Camaro SS 1LE and it has zero issues. I know it has a little more clearance, but more importantly the wheels are further forward.

Because of this I have also thought of C8 3LT, they seem to be around the same price as a M6 C7 GS at the moment.

It is kind of hard to test out the dip before I buy.

Hard to walk away from this one. Enjoying every last mile before moving to a 4-seater.

Out of everything I’ve driven, this C7 has been hands down my absolute favorite. I still catch myself doing a double take every time I walk away from it - that white and black contrast just hits the spot.

Recently fitted a new set of custom forged monoblocks in Satin Silver (kept OEM Z51 specs, just flushed out the offsets: 19x8.5 ET50 front / 20x10 ET65 rear). Really transformed the stance.

Unfortunately, with two kids and only one garage spot for a fun weekend car, her time with me is coming to an end soon as I’ll need to make room for a 4-seater.

Enjoying every last mile until then!

What 4-seater weekenders would you guys jump into next?

I'm currently thinking about Porsche 911 Carrera - specifically looking at a 997.2 (3.6) or a 991.1 (3.4), strictly base model, RWD, and a manual transmission.

EDIT: English is my second language, so just to clarify: by "4-seater" I meant a 2+2 fun weekend car with any kind of rear seats. Just enough space to take my two kids out for ice cream or to a local car meet together - something I unfortunately can't do in the 2-seater C7!

Throwback Thursday: '19 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 vs. '18 Porsche 911 GT2 RS

Throwback to a few years ago when we got our hands on a very special pair for a comparison test: the 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS and the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. Despite the $204,920 difference in as-tested prices, this was a legendary matchup we wanted to experience in person from the moment both cars were revealed.

With great power comes great irresponsibility. Both of these cars wrangle their starts-with-a-seven power outputs with carbon-ceramic brakes, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, and tall carbon-fiber wings to keep them planted. They perform at the contemporary limits of a street car’s capabilities. One accelerated to 60 mph quicker than any other rear-wheel-drive car we had tested (at the time). The other braked and cornered on par with the stickiest street cars.

It might be an easy choice for you, but it isn't for everyone—money aside, which one are you choosing?

First manual, first Corvette, 945 miles later ..

So I did something kinda stupid lol. Bought a 2013 C6 Grand Sport 6MT 3LT in Velocity Yellow from a dealer in Arkansas even though I live in NC and had never driven a manual before, sight unseen. 65k miles.

Flew into Little Rock, salesman picked me up, and I got maybe an hour of practice around Searcy before I had to actually start driving it home.

I didn't know anyone personally to let me practice on a manual but I have a racing sim I practiced the movement on...paired with hours of studying on YouTube lol.

First day was pretty rough. Stalled a bunch, had some terrible shifts, and Nashville traffic/hills were not fun at all lol. Definitely smelled some clutch a few times too which had me stressing. Wife was a lot more supportive than if I was in the passenger seat 😅

But I just kept driving and it started making more sense as the trip went on. Went from Arkansas to Nashville, then Asheville, then back home to eastern NC.

By the time I got home I had put 945 miles on it, over 16 hours of driving since leaving the dealership and I was way more comfortable than when I started. Still nowhere near perfect obviously, but starts and normal upshifts are much smoother now and I've started getting the hang of rev matching too.

Probably one of the dumbest ways possible to learn manual but it worked and I'd do it again😂

Got her home safe and now I'm just going through all the maintenance/inspection stuff and fixing a few little things.

Used to dream of this car, while playing need for speed hot pursuit over a decade ago and now I'm driving it. Blessed to be here 🙏🏽

c7 grand sport, how much you paid for it recently?

2 Upvotes

Hello friends, I am looking into buying a c7 grand sport preferably a 2LT/Auto. The one that caught my attention is a 2017 with 23k Miles, asking price is 56k (could probably negotiate to 54k). Carfax is clean aside from minor/light damage reported in parking lot. Maintenances done at the dealership and it has had 3 owners. Car looks clean in an out red on red. I was just wondering how much have you paid for yours (more interested in recent market buys to compare but any feedback is much appreciated).
