Nice, not sure if it will look better with or without the spoiler.

Here's my creation:
https://visualizer.chevrolet.com/ui/2020corvette/df9b2440

edit: Guess I wasn't paying too much attention, because the one on the display has no spoiler. The spoiler complicates an already busy area. I'm curious about the high level spoiler.

The one I made had the high level spoiler with black roof/mirrors/splitter. I thought it looked sharp.

Pretty similar

I went with the black brakes, carbon fiber mirrors and low spoiler, and painted roof. The transparent roof also looked pretty nice.

They STILL can’t seem to get the rear of the car right. Not since the C6 has the rear of a ‘vette looked good.

On that note, I happened to see a C6 ZR1 this week...first one I’ve ever seen in the flesh;

35545

BTW - these (and the Z06’s) are the bargain of the century now...$50k-$60k for a 630hp LS9 with what basically amounts to a race car suspension. If only I had the money...

That 3.0 CSL and E46 GTR are race car pornography. Two of my all time favorites.

Spirit R is the ultimate RX7 from factory but so expensive - some day I'd love to own even just a regular Series 8 FD, in Innocent Blue. The 99 spec front end just looks so much better than the bumpers the older North American models got

I dream of RX-7s every once in a while but then I remember how often I curse at my E46 and owning a RX-7 can't be any better than that.

Tri-pass radiator and single turbo builds tend to be the popular go-to for reliability. Well that, pre-mix, and a once daily redline.

FD's aren't bad as long as you LS swap.

Fixed it for you (I kid, I kid) - but yeah, no kidding about heat. I remember talking with a guy about his build and he had two oil coolers, each of them pulling air from the two smaller grilles on the side of the front bumper

The Rotary cult forgives...but never forgets... Lol (Secretly wants an LS swapped FD)

Yeaaah it can get ridiculous. The biggest issue is that one side of the block...??tube??channel??..Dorito container.. Is always hot. So any heat soak brought on by the OEM setup plus any extra heat is just killer. That said, 13b Apex Seals aren't too difficult to replace once you've done it before. It's also not something I'd like to do on the regular lol.

But a single setup, even a big one, lowers heat fantastically compared to the OEM. The big thing, twin or single, is to clean up the majority of the piping, seriously upgrade the cooling system, delete any vacuum line that can go away, and generally clean up the engine bay. A good, functional, airflow hood can go a long way to keeping engine bay temps down as well. Which is something I need to do on my own turbo car. I could bake cookies on the hood after a normal drive to work. In the winter.

I wish I had a chance to snap a picture, but I drove by a mint black BMW Z8 with a hard top on it yesterday afternoon. I didn't really like them when they first came out, but they've really grown on me.

I wonder if in 15-20 years time, ppl will look back at the current bmw gigantic grill lineup and think they don’t look so bad now...

Oh god I can't imagine that ever happening. Unless they come up with even more of an abomination by then, and it's all relative

Older gent at my church has owned this since it rolled out of the dealer. I drool every time I see it.

Sidenote: The color and...well... everything is totally over done in this photo. My phone decided to auto-beautify literally everything for an hour. I ended up needing to boot to the recovery menu and dump the cache to get it to stop. Well, another reason to carry around my NEX all the time. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210313/0870ad31d63602e2e8b3e8842a32a0e5.jpg

I went to the Brumos Porsche car collection in Jacksonville today with good friends and had a great time...

There were lots of awesome cars in this collection and it was nice that Brumos set this up for people to enjoy. Too bad the Porsche Brumos team no longer race. What a wonderful and rich automotive racing history[emoji41][emoji1417]
