New Caprice - Discussion forums

I think you need to do the googlie on 'Speedmaster747 in Alvin, Tx' to get where you need to go.

Hmmm, not sure I'd want one of those. They're listed as FWD Caprices!!

These things can easily do double-duty. I have a 96 Impala SS that's a DD and low-11-sec car with just bolt-ons. Very few compromises either way. I'd expect the same from a Caprice, and bet it can be done with bolt-ons, N/A, too.

Wow, just down the street from me.

Yes, my tuner indicated that removing DOD, via programming, at least on low mileage cars, seems to greatly prolong lifter failure associated with DOD. I discussed doing a complete DOD delete, with the blower install. He stated as long as I kept the factory shift points, 6000 or so, it should hold u...

Our car had a lifter fail at 4X,000 miles. They replaced the failed lifter and associated parts, and the cam, and the ca has enjoyed 40,000 more issue-free miles. If I had a hint of trouble, I'd yank the DOD stuff in a heartbeat. I'm interested to know, though, if disabling the system via programmin...

That, and I have placed the order for next year's Hoosier slicks on the autocross car, after replacing the tires on the wife's Tahoe PPV, which were almo...

Heh, indeed. I've lived in that, never again! Good thing someone else does for me.

I bet that car is in a bit of a shock, too!!

Yeah, but that's something that can usually be handled by writing one check! As far as the black and white paint scheme, it's factory! We have an ex-Tx-DPS 1992 B4C Camaro. It's complete with the spot lights and the Texas DPS Asset tag in the door jamb. It's painted a crappy metallic blue paint that...
