LBZ had a six speed Ally as well, I thought the LLY had a 5 speed

[kstruckcountry]

In 2006 they all have the 6. I think there's a possibility that the crank is different on some 2006 LLY's, but IIRC the LLY crank was stronger anyways before they made them the same.

[LongrangeLauber]

Nope LLY I believe had a 6 speed as well. They changed when they came from the LB7, I'm pretty sure.

 

Should do an EGR delete as well, give you a couple more ponies

[kstruckcountry]

Yeah that would be on the list of cheap easy mods.

Post a link. Thats a smoking deal

 

Just on autotrader. Last week there were 4 with under 13k miles for under 50k. 3 of those had under 5k.

 

Then I stopped looking. Too tempting. Pay off my house, then I'll have no debt and get what I want. Also, Maybe the 2014 Porsche GT3 will have awful resale value.

 

But yeah, for that price its worth flying out and driving back

Same with the new Camaro. I saw one on the 1st in Beverly Hills. It was a V6 convertible rental special, but I love those tail lights

[SnakeEyeSS]

Oddly, the new camaro reward looks worse in video. Not sure how that works...

 

I just saw the Top Gear UK where James May drives the perfectly restored $8 million Ferrari GT California. On wet roads. Through puddles.

 

 

Horrifying. The owner specificly asked him to avoid puddles when agonizingly agreeing to let him drive it. He went through 10 or so.

 

 

I'm all for driving rare Cars. It's why they were made. BUT A $8 MIL CAR THROUGH PUDDLES?

 

Lol, Ryan doesn't even drive his camaro through puddles.

 

I remember when a freak rain storm hit when I was in my 1969. I was under the car drying the frame when I Got home.

Car has only been out in the rain 3 times and driven once in the rain and it wasn't a downpour. The undercarriage is still pretty clean at 2600 miles

I would kill to drive that GT California. I don't think a little water would hurt the car, especially if it has been fully restored.

 

My dad's old 86 Porsche lived in CA, and the undercarriage looks great. The Germans seem to pay more attention to undercoatings than US companies have or probably ever will.

Cali isnt that harsh on undercarriages, even on the coast

Yeah I have no idea where in CA it was, or what life was like for it there. But the whole underbody is coated in a line x type material. More importantly, it's not far from needing its Audi-sourced transaxle rebuilt. $$$

My old e30 had that line x like stuff on the bottom also. Good stuff. I used to have a bottle of it from when it cracked it started some rust underneath(impact crack ir scratch maybe?) And I fixed it myself. It was made by Wurth.

Just saw my first new lifted Sierra. It looked amazing. Now if they only got rid of those ridiculous LED running lighys

[SarahsGMC]

This is the only one I've seen that I like a lot
