m4a1mustang, how is your car's transmission holding up? I understand the M82 is having some grinding and engagement problems. From what I've read, it's mostly when the car's cold, but sometimes...

On the odd occasion that I use a self spray wash place (usually only in the winter to remove road salt), I don't dry the car off. Spray washes don't remove all the grime, and wiping it around with...

IMO, all Z's (except maybe the NISMO) should come standard with high performance all-season tires. The performance difference up to 7/10 street driving is negligible, yet the all-seasons perform...

My car was an '06. The '08+ cars got a better steering rack (tighter clearances, I think), but the steering feel is only a little better. It's a bit sharper, but the weighting isn't that different....

Thing is, driving the Z06 at regular speeds isn't all that special. It lacks the character that other sports cars have. The steering's over boosted at slow speeds, the clutch is easy...it almost...

I do miss it sometimes, but the car is kind of a waste if its mostly driven around average populated areas...it's just too fast. The big power and long gears prevent getting on it unless you're in a...

I use small artist's brushes. They're much more accurate than the thick brush included with most OTC touch-up paints. A magnifying glass is helpful, too.

I don't have the numbers you requested, but I had an '06 Z06 and have a 370. The 370 feels significantly more rigid. Actually, my pop's '10 Camaro felt more rigid to me than my Z06. The Z06 isn't...

I haven't driven the new 5.0, but I had an '06 GT. The car wasn't perfect, but it was surprising well built. It was pretty solid and virtually rattle-free. It drove well too, the live rear axle...

In many cases, that's true. Although, my '87 GT was fully functioning when I sold it. The power locks/windows, wipers, hvac, etc. all worked from day one. Though a bit of a rattle trap, no...

I agree with ImportConvert. IME, American cars' drive-trains are tough. My '87 GT had 50K miles when I got rid of it...not a ton of miles, but enough. I didn't abuse the car, but it was well used....

Can't go wrong with either car, they both have their advantages/disadvantages. American manufactures' build quality has risen to an impressive level. My '06 GT was pretty well built, IMO. It...

The Z is only so-so in the power department. It's not slow, but it's not quite as quick as it should be. It pulls pretty well in 3rd and 4th, but I don't think stabbing it in second gear is all...

I agree with you, the weight is a bit of a disappointment. Although, it's not useless flab. The new car does carry more safely related hardware and the fore-mentioned beefed-up chassis. ...

I have to disagree regarding the new Camaro...it's not a failure, IMO. The car certainly isn't perfect, but it has a lot going for it. It's a striking design and the overall build/fit-n-finish is...

I went from an '08 STi to the Z. I liked the STi, but the engine's hesitations and flat spots always bothered me. Mine was stock, but many with tunes still had the problem (though less so).

I think the Z's build quality is very good, not quite Porsche level, but not too far off. The Z is certainly Porsche tight, though - the chassis feels very solid over bumps and up inclines, and the...

This is my understanding of engine oil weights. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Regular oil: for example, 5w-30...is a 5 weight oil that thickens to a 30 weight when it gets hot.
