I remember that Royal Purple has synthetic multigrades that they developed for Detroit 2-strokes. Seems like modern metallocene PAO VI improvers would be enablers for multigrade DD 2-stroke lube. . . . If you could afford it.

At 10%.

Yes. That was the scene at Corvette club events when I bought my C4 in 1991. They would stand around all day and talk about which wax is the best. When I asked them how well their cars ran at track days, they would look at me like I had antennas sticking out of my head. "Oh no, track days...

I have a coworker that bought a C7 that had been hit in the front end. He had the car delivered on a rollback truck and worked on it in the parking lot for a couple of weeks rebuilding the front suspension and repairing the body damage, which was slight. I was skeptical that he could do a good...

The LV3 engine series is even-fire and has a balance shaft.

Chin Motorsports is an organization that puts on excellent High Performance Driving Events on racetracks around the USA. Look them up.

Yes. My 1972 GMC 1500. I flew out to Oregon, paid the guy with a bank draft that I took out in his town, and drove it 2200 miles back to Michigan over four days.

A V8 would be going too far. I wish GM had kept producing the LT-based 4.3L V6. That engine would be a good fit in this vehicle. They could have bored it to ~4.6 liters and pumped the power up to about 350 hp.

Give yourself some time to get used to the auto stop-start.
