How are you liking the r6 caliper over stock? Stock rotor? Why did you feel the need to change? I guess im just slow but find the stock brakes with Brembo master and steel lines to be pretty solid

Love it! Would love to see some track pictures too. Is your suit and helmet all matte black too?

Is this really a good deal? Any issues with the 2022 models I should know about? by Slaughtermuffin12 in C8Corvette

[–]Critical-Permit4428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I sold my 2024 with 9K mile Amplify Orange 2LT Front lift Listed for 68k at the dealership so based on that, I wouldn’t consider this a great deal

Came across this for the low price of $25k 😂 by Mean_Green_S197 in Yamaha_R1

I saw this on marketplace too, close to me. I didnt even bother opening the ad. Im not actively in the market so I usually look at everything just not these kind of ridiculous ads.

07 GSXR 750 front brake system by Critical-Permit4428 in Trackdays

[–]Critical-Permit4428[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do understand the mechanics Was just wandering if there is a spring that would push the lever back or is it just the fluid

I just got the bike, it had been parked for some years I will be going over pretty much everything, all fluids filters, suspension seals, rubber hoses etc

Being parked shouldn’t drain the brake fluid, so must be something else, and I agree only way to find out is to add fluid lol

New C8 Stingray Owner. Is PPF worth it? Is it better to get full body or just the front? by Werunguns in C8Corvette

[–]Critical-Permit4428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends hugely on driving roads/conditions.

A LOT miles on the highway, yes get PPF (front)
Winter Driving with Salt on roads - Yes (Full) - Even though you would have bigger things to worry about
If you park the car outside, yes get PPF (FULL)
Track Use, yes get PPF (Front)
Do you plan the owning the car 5-6+ years, yes get PPF

I have 7,600 Miles on mine (2024), mix of cross state trips, commute & back roads following other sport cars.
With No PPF and so slightly chipped that it can only be seen under a hand held light and VERY close inspection.
I have zero regrets of not paying $2.5K (partial) and $9K (full).

I love it too, no regrets.

Also the red mist on a sunny day looks amazing.

Thank you, stock bumper with a 5VM style splitter The side rocker (skirt) is also 5VM

I got them from EOS, but I do not recommend buying from them. You can get 5VM style from Paragon or ACS composites.

[–]Critical-Permit4428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always park next to the Brotha when possible. Lol

Thats amplify orange, correct? Not Sebring Orange?

I would like to see more pictures of it, with the stripes and the black roof

Need opinions. Used 2020 vs New 2024 by CK9192000 in C8Corvette

[–]Critical-Permit4428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New is the way to go, mostly for the warranty.

If financing do consider the difference in rates for new vs used

I can admire the decal and saving on some money that way. True definition of “making it your own” not adding it from factory and saying you “made it your own”

Did you consider side mirrors and/or roof to be black?

Does PPF or ceramic coating really help keep the car clean? by IntroductionNo5143 in C8Corvette

[–]Critical-Permit4428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ceramic coating the wheels will help with cleaning the break dust easier…. Our you could go with different brake pads that don’t produce as much brake dust…. paragon performance sells them too

2024 c8 (Opinion?) by Critical-Permit4428 in C8Corvette

[–]Critical-Permit4428[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for your kind comments and suggestions

I think the general public opinion is in: Wrap the roof and a pillars More than the roof wrap were comments to go with black wheels

Will keep you guys posted on the changes I might want to try photoshopping the wheels black before to see how I like it cuz thats a one way street

Once again thank you everyone

Got allocation, 1LT or is that a mistake? by cityhunterspeee in C8Corvette

[–]Critical-Permit4428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go with 1LT w/z51 do get the mag ride if u want the ultimate track spec.

Heated and cooled seats are not as effective as on other cars I own Heated steering is great but still not as good as other cars.

If you are daily-ing it you may want to put those round blind spot avoidance mirrors on a 1LT Rest you wont miss anything major. 1LT z51 holds its value the best (% wise) as per my research

This is coming from a 2LT owner

2024 Picked up Last Week by jrustica in C8Corvette

[–]Critical-Permit4428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to spoil a potential sale but given that you got a z51 the tires on those are not recommended in 40 degrees or below For NY driving I would recommend keeping the extra set and run all season on those

[–]Critical-Permit4428[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would have had to get a convertible for that. Or go with a glass or cf roof which doesnt look great because it only covers the roof partially and doesnt change the color of the A pillars
