At the dealer for service on my Silverado. Couldn't help but notice the $100,000 Corvette with $7500 brake rotors and a $1,300 gas guzzler tax. Also the paint color is named after our local race car track Watkins Glen. Some day....0344a1b6d1bf8b51b8e20e6a80623787.jpg

Id buy a Vette and a Tesla. If you can afford a car in that price range the cost is irrelavant.

That is why you buy the tesla and the vette. When the battery goes dead after 100 miles in ludicrous mode, you can jump in the vette and keep on going...

I'd much prefer an AMG with 4 seats that can easily keep pace with that corvette in the real world outside of a track

If I had $100,000 for a car I would not buy a vette either. Been there had a few and drive a pickup truck now. Still love that beast. What is the tesla top speed again?

 

Tesla 155

Zo6 coupe 195

 

Both factory numbers.

 

I also believe the vette will carry a higher speed for a longer distance. Don't know for sure.

Let's not forget the new Dodge Challenger Demon. 840 HP, 1/4 mile in 9.6 at 140 mph. Passenger seat is an optional accessory. Let's see a Tesla lift the front end off the ground and pull a wheelie for 20 feet. $85k.

thats nothing new, vettes have been over 100k for several years now. My dealer has couple Z06s that are over 100, one is $112.xxx

 

I'd definitely buy one if I had that kind of cash to blow.

Comparing this to a Tesla is silly. The Tesla is a second car, at best. It can't be driven on long trips unless you're not at all in a hurry and like stopping every 3 hours.

 

The ZO6 is a beast. Nothing can touch it at this price. Hell, the 1LE Camaros can keep up on the track with cars that cost over six figures.

      Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.

      This can be done.  It is not cheap and requires an instrument cluster swap with custom programming, new steering wheel with the controls on it, and a special jumper harness.   The cluster upgrade - 12.3” Digital Cluster Upgrade – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The wheel upgrade - Steering Wheel Upgrade Kit – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The column harness upgrade - 2019 - 2026 Silverado / Sierra: Steering Wheel LIN Bus Harness - Harness Dr. - DIY Done Right     The problem with doing all of this?  You pretty much can't have any programming done to your truck that involves the cluster ever again.  The dealer won't be able to program the cluster as GM's system will only pull data for the cluster the truck came with.  So it would be advised also to turn off over the air updates.   TLDR;  Should have bought an LT double cab?  You'd have a power seat, the wheel controls, the cluster, all things that you've been seeking in your various posts so far about your new WT regular cab.
