@@thesudzy22 The station 5 minutes from my house is always over 85% all year as is the next closest station 15 minutes away. There is one station 15 minutes in the opposite direction that does go down to 70% in the winter months. I tested my local station in January and it was 91%.
Wow u guys call that high?😂😂😂😂 my yota is 200k plus off-road truck driven hard every single year last 10 years only needed regular maintenance only because i wanted too didn’t need to still running brand new. Had a Honda didn’t change oil over a year still smoked a mustang running nos 😂😂😂

Well said sir 👏. Fran is the friend that every real man needs. He is the one to call you on your shit and try to better yourself. Needed a Fran in my early 20's😮
My car STILL isnt fixed. IF / when my car needs anything else its def coming to you guys. i fucked up by not just shipping it off while it had the old engine in it. Much love guys.
I use the octanium stuff all the time in my shitbox,when you tune on these cars and use it, is the car picking up that its got better fuel so it allows it to make more power... or is a tuned in thing where the owner will need to add it in every tank?

Best thing about living in Iowa...E85 is everywhere and it's almost always 85-90% ethanol.
I miss living in Iowa
Mannnn that’s good living for car enthusiasts if we can get 85-90% ethanol
Damm Iowa is cool that whole little cluster of states is so cool and untouched
Not sure where you live in Iowa lol but definitely not always 85-90% 😂 it’s all 70-75% until summer blend then hyvees can be 80-88%

These guys are f*ckn pros. Amazed every time I watch one of their uploads
Thanks for starting to do more test drives,great seeing what the finished product gives you drivability and performance 👍👍

In Minnesota we have COLD asfalt and concrete well into the summer months. I have a na c6 with a auto and I still spin tires when it's cold
I'm in the same boat, man. I also have an auto C6 and live in the Twin Cities.
@@wesleygrabowski3755we need warmer weather in mankato
I agree - 5th gen Z/28s are straight gangsta! meanest sounding, baddest looking Camaro ever!
Love the Fran drives, his knowledge is awesome, and his honesty is refreshing, cool shop!
Yes!

You’ve got the shit right about the 5th Gen Z/28 my friend. Fricking RAW
750+rwhp on 93 pump gas. Car can do anything 10 second bracket class and road course. All around street car.
Great start to a Sunday morning RPM
I haven't watched a vid in a few years and holy crap Fran you lost a ton of weight. Looking good man keep it up!
Every station in Texas always has E85,can't use anymore than 15%,or it will crater you motor.
How long do these zl1 motors usually last? 80,000 miles isnt alot
if you maintain it correctly it’ll last as long as you want it to
@@colety04what year do u recommend with a manual transmission
Fran is too funny. Garrett is probably holding down the ground somewhere 😂😂

For the Baltimore area people they just opened a station on 175 and 295 I believe a highs with e85.
Do you know if Owings Mills or randallstown has e85 stations? I’m kinda new to the car scene
80K miles is sick! I hope she screams for 300k for that guy! Sick build!
I. Just bought a completely stock 2013 zl1 convertible 36k auto miles what could I expect with this setup
I use the octanium stuff all the time in my shitbox,when you tune on these cars and use it, is the car picking up that its got better fuel so it allows it to make more power... or is a tuned in thing where the owner will need to add it in every tank?
It would need to be tuned for it in order to pick up power

almost the same as my setup minus the cam but I have an upper metco pulley. pushing just south of 700
I was a 5th gen zl1 camaro person, then I got my 2018 zl1.. way better
What hp or psi is safe on the SS? Like 6-7psi ok?
I'm curious since e85 sucks in my area would ignite or vp be a good option
Yeah. Those are always better than pump E85.
What are those paddles on the steering wheel of the ZL1? It's a manual but I can't tell what those are.
Rev match
I think. It doenst as long as your cooling system and cylinder compression are ok.
Sad like every gas pump has e85 here in Wisconsin
What do like more about the c6 ZR1 over the c7.
Can't wait to have my motor done by you guys just saving all the dollar bills lol.
Why do you flash past the first dyno run so fast? I would like to know what guess we're close
I look forward to seeing everyone of your videos
Correct me if I'm wrong, but stock for stock is a C6 ZR1 just as fast if not faster than a C7 ZR1 in a straight line? Despite being down over 100hp.
Should be c6 is lighter
I think the C7 is faster with no big wing
The c7 zr1 is much faster in straight line stock for stock
Maan you guys are glass Mechanics , cars are meant to be driven(Dirty) , don’t expect to just work on brand new clean cars
I was surprised by near 90k miles, most of the time they say high miles it’s a C6 Z with like 40k miles on it lol
Hey Fran . I know you said sometimes in perry ville md you guys have to go get e85.. can you tell me what station that is ?
It’s a BP station right off 95
@@RaceProvenMotorsports thanks so much !!
Use a dang wire brush and get the dirt off first before you go shoving new piping onto 86k piping next time lol.
Great video as always. I want to like the video, but don't want to mess up the current "777" like count. 😅
The fitment on my crv
It amazes me how people lack to take care of their cars. Keep my 5th gen 1le clean and nut and bolt checks every few months
5th gens are unfortunately just not up to par against what's out there

Only good thing about Cali specifically LA is we got e85 everywhere 😂👍
Same exact mileage my hellcat just turned!
Luv the test drives !!!😊
Where are u located
Delaware
He should’ve did the can octane boost so if he can’t get E he can easily go to a store & get the octane boost. Just an opinion
"I like meth, I put meth on everything." Lol.
Garrett you are doing great and just keep taking it bc if they didn't like you they wldnt even talk to....it's a shop- that's what it is😂
Yeah 6th gen ZL1’s are the best GM sports car from that era in my opinion, better than a C7
Fran!!! You look great brother!
Love these Vids what i would not give to send my V2 to you guys
High mileage just means the car is more settled in 😏😏
When the rod bearing spins that’s when you know high mileage suks
those nitto 555 g2 suck ass . i bought a ss 1le bone stock and it would haze them in first and second in warm texas weather even in a 315/30/20
G2 and R2 is a completely diff tire. G2 is not a drag radial style tire
No doubt the owner was hauling ass and lost it followed by flying off the road, not that I would know anything about it.😢
Definitely was prior to my purchase. Purchased it from glenpolkford. When it arrived some of the front splitter was damaged.
C6 ZR1 is da GOAT 🐐 🤴 👑

That's the same thought I had when seeing it.
Not a flood car, car was mostly in the desert.
