Been a long time since I've updated this thread.  I finally changed out the wheels on the Chevelle and bought new(wider) tires for it.  I also did a 2 stage paint correction on it.  Before and after p

About 7-8 years ago had agreed to buy one that gen. 70 I think, GS, was painted the 90's Impala SS Black cherry red. Had a ZZ502, and he had cut the hood and welded in a Turino GT hood scoop to be functional into the air cleaner. It looked "factory."

 

Well, the guy called, said he was ready to sell, maybe a week or two more before the paint was perfect (had about 10 coats, was the guys' hobby).....

 

Never called again. He was an older guy, I assume he died in those two weeks(or a former coworker who also liked the car bought it out from under me). I still had my 1969 RS at the time so I never sought out what happened for sure.

 

Wasn't nearly as upset as I was about that 89 BMW M6 that was sold on eBay a few days before the day I was to pick it up.

I did. I forgot how damned quick that thing is!

Tomorrow it's back to snowy crappy weather.

Just a couple more things and it's time to start installing to find all the other parts I need.

Finally printed a mod list to have on hand at the cruise in's. I can rarely remember more than 10 quickly.

 

At the bottom I put " If your REALLY interested, I might accept your offer" in case I find another muscle-car-fangirl with a rich daddy like I did with my former Camaro. [emoji38]

Lol, anyone read the C&D article about the 6th gen reveal a few days ago? They say bet on the Camaro to have around 400 HP since the Vette has 460. Yeah, a downgrade to 400 makes sense. [emoji23] Guess they never pay attention to their own stats pages.

 

Or, ya know, the ZL1.

400 HP is so 2011.

My guess it'll have in the 440 range :)

Bought her a new Air Filter :) but it will be at-least another month before she sees the light of day with all the snow we still have :(

Even with 460 it's not like it would touch a Vette. Sometimes GM needs to just get over themselves. They could advertise it as 459.9 if it made them feel better.

In a couple years GM will release a 6th gen LT2 with 500 HP then the LT3 with 520 and the camaro will keep the LT1

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      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.

      Active Grille Delete

      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?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      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
