    GT500 wheels + Big Brake Kits: The Truth about fitment.

    If possible measure the brembo's at the mounting point out, and then measure the stoptech's. That may help.

    Any corner carvers remember this company?

    Havent seen it in about 4-5 years. if you seen the car it is basically a race car. Slammed, gutted, basically a race car so im sure the handling would still be above average. I think the V8 takes away from a V6 wooping most V8's If you can take a Zo6 with a N/A V6 you can brag all day. I would.

    GT500 wheels + Big Brake Kits: The Truth about fitment.

    Either be safe and get the brembos or at worst you may need spacers to clear the spokes with the stoptech's. Sucks playing guessing games. I did that also with my brembos.

    Any corner carvers remember this company?

    Yes I ran against that car with my paxton blown 93 GT. It was fast with the V6. It was stroked to a 4.2 using ford truck parts. My car made 364 rwhp. Mine would catch him in the straights but that car cornered awesome. Couldn't keep up. Later on that green car, I think it's nick name was...

    Any corner carvers remember this company?

    Thats how I recall also. Got sick and put things on hold. What I remember the most from their company was a display at Road America. They had a blown crown vic state patrol car and a blacked out blown ford mini van. dont like mini vans but if I was forced to own one that would be it.

    Front wheels with gt500 big brakes

    I wondered this also. The spokes will clear the brembo's. I have seen 20's with the brakes but the 18's I havent. Not sure if the inner wheel of the 18's will clear the calipers. I have these brakes also, though it doesn't answer your question I use American Muscle's GT4 18x9 wheels.

    what oil are you running?

    I road raced my 93 GT for 8 years with Valvoline durablend, That car is still being raced on this same blown motor. In my 07 I use Mobil 1 always with a ford filter.

    No new Camaro

    The April issue of Motor Trend says the new z/28 is ready to go. The problem is that the car is on hold. GM ram out of money to finish and launch the car. Insiders also say "if we leave it to long, the car will become irrelevant." GM product chief Bob Lutz said "we need to make the world right...

    Saleen (stoptech) 14" brake kit clear the 18" TQs?

    I have seen 20 inch razors clear, The spokes will clear on the 18s but the clearance of the inside of the wheels I dont know. I didnt want to run 20s either so to be on the safe I bought the GT4 wheels from American Muscle. They are about 4 lb lighter each compared to the 18' stockers, and have...

    Saleen (stoptech) 14" brake kit clear the 18" TQs?

    I also considered spacers like yourself but to get them pulled out one inch the wheels will stick out of the front fenders and even if you would still want to do this the cost of spacers and longer studs can add up quick.

    Saleen (stoptech) 14" brake kit clear the 18" TQs?

    I almost guarantee the caliper will hit the spokes. I upgraded to brembo 4 piston calipers and they needed about on inch more spoke clearance and I had the same wheels as you. Stoptechs are also a fixed caliper with pistons on both sides of the rotor unlike the stockers. This design requires...

    Had a good night at the track

    As for mods to get x-tra ponies we are equal. I ran my car against two different 6-speed GTO's and got them every time, even when coming from behind due to a bad launch I could still run them down, and I have 3:31 gears. For having 400 hp they are slow. Thats what 300 # more will do I guess. My...
