Are you keeping your ZR1 when your C8 finally comes in?
Yes I am keeping my ZR1 as well. He was moving a little fast for my liking, but at the end of the day I still had the right amount of oil in there so we're all good.

It wasn't that I didn't think you had enough oil, it was just that I am so tight that I hate to throw a dollar's worth of oil away.

I agree. If it's on my dime I definitely would let it drain out longer!

If the controller works when the car is on cruise, that would be a good way to get hard data without having to rely on holding your foot steady.

It doesn't. It holds a certain speed not a certain spot on the accelerator pedal.

Got it. Forgot about that. Back in the day it used to hold the accelerator to maintain the speed.

Can't remember if you have a Valentine One or not. You were lucky. I only got off once and that was back in the 70s when I was drag racing a built Mustang up an on ramp.
