Ferrari 296 GTB vs Corvette C8 Z06

About seven months ago I visited the Ferrari dealership in Dallas in my C8 Z06, intending just to look around. I took a walk around the dealership and spoke with a couple associates then the new manager there. The manager introduced me to the sales manager and from there I got a test drive. I clearly explained to them I didn't intend on buying that day, I got to test drive anyway. I'm so glad that I did. The Ferrari is so much better than my C8 Z06. Well of course it is, it's more than double the price. Despite the Ferrari lacking two cylinders from the Z06's eight, the throttle was much more smooth and responsive. The steering felt like it was on rails, the Z06 just felt like a normal car in comparison. Then of course there is the magic of the 296 simply being a Ferrari. Sitting inside felt invigorating in a way that a Chevy cannot compare to. I love my C8 Z06 and always will because it's my first performance vehicle and how high it punches above its price point. However, it is still no match for Ferrari's entry level super car. After that day my eyes are set on a Ferrari as my next car, just have to collect the funds at this point.

Do NOT fall for these signs!

Yes a driver is 100 percent responsible for securing their load. So despite what a stupid sign says, they are responsible for broken windshields. Of course you have to prove it so you need a recording dash cam. This makes me so upset that people really think they can drive around and destroy other people's cars without any liability. All this being said it's probably a good idea to actually stay back from vehicles with the warning sign.

Should I install a front winglet on my 450ss?

I got some replacement parts coming in to my local CFMOTO dealership to repair the body damage that happened from a crash. I'm also considering adding a front winglet while I'm at it. What do you think of the winglet? Cool or doing too much? Does it do anything at all for performance or purely aesthetic?

Which one are you taking?

You have 140 grand to spend on either a Corvette C8 Z06 or a Lamborghini Gallardo. Which one are you taking? For me it's a tough choice, but it has to be the C8 Z06. I can't turn down all the technological amenities the C8 Z06 offers and it's faster than the Gallardo. But damn does the Gallardo look so much nicer in my opinion. By the way I actually own a C8 Z06 so I guess that makes my answer more credible. Let me know what you would pick and why.

Tail = Tidied 🔥

Here is my brand new CFMOTO 450SS and I finally got around to installing my tail tidy from Yoshimura. The stock one looks absolutely hideous but I finally got it right. 👍

CFMOTO says: Break-in period stay under 4K RPM for the first 300 miles?

What? I have read up on this topic and it seems the general consensus is to just ride the bike normally. That's also what the service center at the dealership told me after I bought my 450SS. This begs the question, why does CFMOTO have this ridiculous, unrealistic, and seemingly unnecessary condition for break-in listed in the manual? Is it for liability purposes on CFMOTO's part? Regardless I have been riding my new bike normally and since it's such a small engine, I can't take her to 90 MPH without going well above 6K RPM, the second stage of the official break-in period. Am I doing fine with the break-in? There is just no way to ride this thing on the highway without breaking well over the suggested RPM limits.

Disappointed with the lack of customization in the dash.

Maybe I am spoiled with my ‘26 Corvette but my ‘26 450SS is really lacking in customization options in the dashboard. Why is there only one interface setting? Maybe I would like to have my dash have a big bar showing my RPM like I can do with my Corvette in track mode. It just seems like CFMOTO is leaving a lot on the table with the lack of customization options. I will send CFMOTO an email on this subject, I hope to see an update in the future.

How do I remove this ridiculous rattle coming from my plastic phone mount?

This rattle never quits throughout my entire video taken at the track. I made the mistake of taking my phone off the mount so I'm left with this rattle that damn near ruined the entire video. Please somebody tell what I can do in Final Cut Pro to remove the noise or at least significantly reduce it. Thanks.

Anybody else frustrated with it being summer?

All my favorite scents are sweet, tobacco rich, and generally heavy in strength. All or most of my favorite scents just can't be worn in Summer. Certainly no Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille when it's roasting 105 degrees in Texas. No La nuit, Dior Homme Intense, or Khamrah. Bring on fall and winter time, who is with me?

What do you ride with on your back?

Here is my Klim backpack and everything I pack in it. How necessary do you think all this stuff is? I have a tool roll, a tire patch/inflator kit, and you can see the rest in the picture. I'm wondering if despite having all this stuff I may be missing anything critical? Let me know.

A full year of PC Gamer, 13 magazines for $50.

PC Gamer is one of the last PC publications still being printed today. How do you feel about physical magazines? I personally feel like they can't be replaced by digital. Just something about flipping through physical pages. Anyways, I just got back into PC gaming after being away for over 5 years and figured this was a good step to take, to get back in the loop.

Prepared for takeoff! (On a budget)

My last post on here was my first. I asked about what's reasonable to start with as a newcomer to flight sim. Well, I pulled the trigger on a used set from Thrustmaster and I'm so glad I did. This set goes for over 200 bucks brand new but I got it on eBay for a little over a hundred. I definitely was fortunate in this deal, the set looks brand new! Let me know about any tips and tricks as I start my journey on the sim.

What is your most played game(s) and why?

Go to your Steam library then click sort by and select hours played. What's it looking like? I'm a simple man and have 254 hours on CS GO while everything else has been neglected by comparison. I love the competitiveness of Counter Strike and how easy it is to get started playing. Kind of like Call of Duty except you're not buying a new edition every year and of course you can only aim in with guns that have scopes. Anyways, I'm also open to suggestions for a new game I should pickup based on this lineup here.

Is this enough to get started?

I see people with all these elaborate, very expensive looking setups and I'm trying to get into a little bit of flight sim on DCS and Microsoft flight sim myself. I don't want to spend anymore than I have to but I also want to get a decent experience as a first timer. Would this Thrustmaster set on Amazon suffice or do I need more for a starter PC setup? Thanks.

Where can I find a case for this remote?

I can find a whole bunch of remote cases on Amazon and eBay but none compatible with this particular Roku remote. Does anybody know where I can find one? Thanks.

Stripped torx head on my motorcycle!

I just wanted to swap out the windscreen on my CFMOTO and I got one screw that absolutely will not come out, the other three came out easy. Ended up stripping the torx head and nothing worked to get it out. Not even the rubber band trick. So here I am with a torx bit and some full strength epoxy.

Worth it?

What do you think of these super special edition Oreos? How edible do you think they are by now? Worth it for a hundred buckaroos?
