    ANOTHER "Nube" here!

    I agree about the front bar, I just added the rear bar and could feel the difference. I tend to get excited in the corners and push the car and have never had it push back in the front but I don't Auto Cross with my car, check that out with Gizmo Q. The thing with the Volant and K&N type...

    ANOTHER "Nube" here!

    Cold Air intake: I am sure I will get an argument here but I had a Volant: great bolt in system, uses a K&N filter but it makes very little difference if any and I kept getting engine codes so I took it off. ( it did make a bit more noise at the engine) I at this point still have a K&N air...

    New XLR owner in Central Texas

    Welcome to the fortunate world of XLR ownership. So glad to see that you purchased a fast RED one! Proven (in my mind) to be the quickest and classiest of then all! :burnout: Hope to see you some time at an XLR gathering, meanwhile enjoy your ride! :cool:

    New and old

    Yes XLR's do tend to make us all feel younger and perhaps somewhat invincible. Drive safe young man! Hope to see you at an XLR gathering: check out the Homecoming in September or the Woodward Dream Cruise gathering under Events..... :burnout:

    Caddy convert

    Finally got my XLR, Now to Rebuild it!

    Really enjoying reading all you have done. I envy you for having the guts to take this kind of job on. We have done lots of classic cars but modern cars are a whole different thing. So how close are you to being done?

    Caddy convert

    I just replaced my tires that were put on in the late summer of 2011 and figured I better be safe than sorry as they were pushing my 'personal max' age of 7 years. Good lord, 13 years old..... ticking time bombs! :spin::blowup:

    XLR in Holland

    Congratulations on your purchase! I know you will love the car and the admiration you get from onlookers! I am just curious, did you find it in the Netherlands? Anyway, post some picks of yourself with your grin behind the wheel when you take possession of it.

    Making a Change!

    I hope (and assume) you will be bringing the Vette to the homecoming!? Love those current Vettes, amazing to drive. Steve & I have our sights on a convertible one in the near future too but I likely will not sell my X. Looking forward to seeing you both.
