Well it's off my tablet now probably sold

Must not have been meant to be.

 

 

Next car won't be a convertible. To many damn restrictions for racing :(

I'm not a fan of convertibles. With that said I still think your current one is a nice car.

I don't think they're ugly, I just think they take away from the look of the car in some way.

Drove it to Waterford mi to see my friends and we all worked on our trucks and swapped parts, then got dinner and cruised woodward.fd8dab2ea93bdee9cfc9734c947f532d.jpga2b2cdfad092d73556f758af41f9132d.jpg21e8d2cded6efcd0104307482abefaff.jpg3dda24efd8ca0807c007dd25814a6b18.jpg

Woodward is coming up soon. Might be heading to the camaro event (50th party) mid August

My buddy was telling me the ragtop Camaros are built super strong to add structural rigidity with the missing hard top. Lots of extra bracing the hard tops don't have. That's a good thing if your putting out big HP numbers, and mash that pedal to the boards regularly.

 

Can't believe how quiet it is in the cab with the top down. He put some diffuser of some sort on the back (don't have pics of it) that streamlines the airflow. No wind and zero noise (except for his exhaust, lol - 700HP at the rear wheels is LOUD). It's like you have a giant glass top. Pretty wild.

The 5th gen was designed from a convertible point at the beginning of the design phase then transferred to the coupe.

 

Your friend probably has the Havoc rear diffuser

Ripped the intake manifold off. Intake is easy. .. that retarded plastic pos cover they attach on top is ridiculous. I had the manifold on the bench and that stupid thing was still above the heads because it wouldn't come off.

Yea I bet I'd wanna pull the intake off every how many miles to clean the engine. What a joke.

Huh.... mine was full of dirt from my airbox lid being damaged. Otherwise I would have never removed the intake manifold unless I had a purpose like a blower. ... fuel system upgrade etc. I didn't pull it to clean valves lol. My truck only has 24000 miles on it... the valves look great!

 

You guys read too much stupidity on this website and somehow think it's real world lol.

I better see you at woodward we cruised it last night.

 

This whole weekend I spent time in the square new radio speakers and swapped grills with a friend. Then we out them all in a car show this morning and cruised some more. Pics are all in the photography section.

How does an airbox lid get damaged on a brand new vehicle?

    • 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
