I think you're correct that Chevy was trying to hold onto the past loyalists, however that doesn't explain an increase in marketshare, imo. The new trucks also converted some people over. 
 

The new Silverado definitely converted this life long Honda owner over. Honda doesn’t make a real truck, so I knew I had to look elsewhere when I was in the market for one. Could’ve went with a Tundra if I wanted to stay with the “imports” but didn’t like the look of them

and quite frankly they’re crazy expensive for a nicely equipped one. Out of all the domestic trucks, the new Silverado stuck out as the better option, in regards to looks, price, and reputation. Just my 2 cents, and that’s coming from a truck world outsider.

There's a song for that by the same name, lol

Ok, I’m jealous, my 14 C7 Premier edition may have to go once those C8’s become readily available for a reasonable cost, I’m assuming once the Z06’s come out they’ll be a lot of C8’s around for sale.

Yeah I'll probably sell my C5, keep my Stingray, when the Z06 comes out and that will be the next addition. If the Z06 is NA I'll wait and won't be interested. I still believe in the CAD that was released of the TT engine. It was spot on in the Stingray so I have no reason to doubt it. Plus Volumetric efficiency and meeting emissions with a FPC is just not going to happen. IMO it's probably the Blackwing long block with the turbos out of the valley or something to that extent. Every one sites IMSA rules, but basically the crank has to be with in 10% of the C8.R. You'll love the C8 IMO. Between the 10 speed and the DCT GM has some nice transmissions finally.

Man do I want that vette. That color as well. Gorgeous! A man could dream. Funny thing is I always hated vettes until this one.

I'm trying to give gm my money and they won't take it! C8 HTC on order (sept delivery) and I want to wait and see the 22 sierra improvements. Let's go gm, get moving!

I hope my garage looks something like this in the fall.

You'll love it. What are your specs? Color etc? I seriously love every color street seeing them all at Ron Fellows. The color I thought I wouldn't like until I saw it in person was Zeuss Bronze. It's actually amazing.

 

I know I'm curious on what the '22 will look like inside and out. I love my '21, but I'm tempted to go '22 if the difference is enough. I'm thinking the interior is like the Yukon Denali interior. Hopefully GM gives us reason to keep them stimulated.

Not sure if this belongs here, but my specs are HTC, ELB, 2LT, NPP, MSRC, front lift, 2 tone grey/black interior, and grey hash marks. Can't wait!

Definitely waiting for the 22 sierra here. Is it too much to ask for a non leaking slider?

I like the 19-21, but looking forward to the updates.

That's a great build. You'll love it. The MSRC is amazing. I'm glad I got the Z51, but might not have got it if it was offered stand alone. Lift works good I don't use the gps at home because every time you move your car it goes up. ELB is a great color you'll love it!

    • 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
