Though I don’t actually believe we will end up fully electric, at least not in our lifetime, already heard a rumor that dodge wants to bring back the muscle car, now idk how true this info I heard was but I don’t see electric making it big time, for a few reasons, not everyone has electric car money, then taking long road trips isn’t practical in an electric car, at least not yet.

Very common issue on LSA superchargers. GM actually had a warranty that would replace your blower for free if you had an issue…but they would still keep the spring loaded isolator for some reason lol. I just picked up a 2013 ZL1 with only 18k miles and I’m about to swap the isolator as well. One other common issue is for the supercharger bricks to collapse, reinforce that and it will be pretty much bullet proof.

[@DerekBaranProductions]

Oh wow!!!

[@alialsaleh703]

I am glad that was the only issue you had. I remembered when I bought my 03 cobra that was yellow too, it got the rod nock sound after driving it back home in 12 hours. I felt so bad and miserable because I just got it and the car had only 7000 miles which sucks and not fun experience.

Hey bro lil semipro tip on the c6 i discovered.. you know how you have to press the 1 or 2 button to set your seat,steering wheel, mirrors every time you get get in.. if you're like me you sometimes pull off and forget to do that you but can do it on the fly by pulling up your parking brake just a tad not even enough to engage it at all just pull it up a tad and press the 1 button and you can immediately put the brake back down and your seat and everything will adjust for you on the fly without you having to stop and all that.. anyway maybe you already know this but if not it might come in handy.

Now you need to reinforce supercharger brick too before you destroy the engine because if the brick goes the metal pieces go through the motor because it implodes get smart and get on top of your supporting mods and the only other weak point is the clutch master cylinder which when it goes out the clutch pedal goes to the floor and doesn’t come up
