Yea well I watched some 14 Chevys roll out of the plant today

But I thought they don't start? :lol: sorry

C25A1guy, what time should I bring mine by?

LOL. Half way through I started realizing that I need more applicators and to designate more of my microfiber towels for vehicle duties. I was probably able to take care of everything within about an hour, which I'm super impressed by. I also realize that I need to get myself a DA machine to save my arms. Well, here's to rebuilding my home detailing center in 2014

Go hangout in the 2014 section

I've seen a bunch of C7s before the snow flew. M plated so it was some test I guess.

Other than dropping my phone screen down on concrete tonight, I changed a headlight in the G6 and that was a bitch. Also hit this milestone with the truck. It makes approximately 25k with the 6.0 now

Hah beat you guys! I saw a C7 over a month ago! Was red and looked awesome.

Drove one back in September, VERY impressive car!! I have driven the ZL1 Camaro, the CTS-V which both have more HP that the Stingray and neither can touch the acceleration of the Stingray

Lol.... hmmmm. That Vette weighs a good 1000 lbs less than either the v or the zl1. Make my car a thousand pounds less and its no contest.

But it is not 1000 lbs lighter so it is a contest? Make my truck 5000 LBS lighter and it'd be fast too! WTF is your point?

Lol. Or how about the official quarter mile on the C7 being 12.2 is no faster than the CTS v.... Whooptee do....

Point is stating a car is faster... and its not with less power is fine but maybe consider the weight while you are at it.

Alright. Just finished. Washed with Chemical Guys Mr. Pink, wheels with CG Diablo Wheel Gel 3:1 dilution, clayed with CG blue clay pad, finishing polish with CG V38 on a white Hex Logic pad, waxed with CG Instawax+, sealed with CG Hybrid V7, dressed everything else with CG Vintage Natural Shine VRP.

What language was that?

OK, cool, argue with me, I have driven both, and the seat of the pants in the Vette vs the V was huge to me. I have driven the C6 Z06 and the ZL1 and to me the Stingray was more impressive than the others and being that it is only 450 HP vs the 540 V car and 580 ZL1 I was impressed, no need to get butt hurt it was just my opinion

    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?   
    • Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
