I've always wondered what it would be like to street a car like this. How does the power modulate through a turn, both tight and sweeping? I've driven some turbo cars, and the lag made it very unpredictable - nothing, nothing, BOOSTTT!!!!
I bought a set of these earlier this year and threw them on my Z06. It's such a small mod that only I will likely ever notice, but my OCD appreciates the caps being right side up all the time!
I've used the touchless car wash (without tracks) several times. No issues. Yes, I had to dry the car after.
For a quick bath when I'm pressed for time, it does the job just fine.
I agree that there will be tax relief by the next administration, but I don't see the lux tax going away all together. Maybe they change the threshold of what is deemed a "luxury" item, but I don't think it will be eliminated anytime soon.
I have come to believe that PPF is there to satisfy ones level of OCD. Yes, it will protect against chips and other blemishes. And there is a 97.67% chance that you will never see your money back if you ever sell the car.
That said, I PPF'd my front end because I have a mild case of OCD.
Just don't let it sit without stabilizer for too long and we'll be fine.
Any of my carbureted engines get drained at the end of the season. So far, so good, but the one year I got lazy, it was a disaster.
