New C7 info and pictures

For $30 I'm not crawling around in the passenger footwell several times a year.

i'm a cheap son-of-a-bitch


lol at the remote fun though

Really? Crawling around in the footwell? It flips down, bottom right fuse, done in 5sec lol. The only time the fuse will go back in is if I take the Z on a 200+ mile road trip.

<---Cheap bastard with a nice car.

Fair enough, I just like the option of closing my valves in the middle of a drive like if someone calls. Wife rides with me occasionally and the first thing she looks for when I start it is the remote to close the valves. Plus possible damage of constantly pulling and reinstalling a fuse makes it worth having the controller to me. Plus with the remote, you can start the car and get it out of it and open and close the valves when you're standing behind the car for fun.

Yeah, I'd be choosing the fuse option. lol


It looks okay so far. I'm not big on Vettes any way, so I guess I'm just sort of indifferent to it.

Or spend the $80 and push a button when you want it quiet or loud and when you sell the car you can resell the controller for $50. For $30 I'm not crawling around in the passenger footwell several times a year.

hope they don't do it. must be the same team who designed the ugly ass camaro rear,

Me too, I was just about to purchase a $80 controller to open it manually and decided I should search for a simpler solution. Found out what fuse controls it and it goes to a default open when the car is off so, yank it while it's off and it can't close. If you want it quiet for a road trip just stick the fuse back in.

Probably just something like the current Z06 and NPP equipped cars have, but with more variations on how it works. I just yanked the fuse on mine, butterfly stays open all the time, problem solved for free.

I would rather have something closer to what Caravaggio is currently building

[03mustangdude]

I'd buy it but with all the features they couldn't throw in heated steering wheel wtf?


Anyone else notice that it looks like the targa top can fold down?

[GrayStangGT]

this however, is gaaaaaaaaaaaay: Engine Sound Management
This allows how robust or quiet the engine will sound. Select Auto, Stealth, City, Tour, Sport, Track or Off.

ARM is similar to what the 370z has.

[grove rat]

whoever designed the rear ends for the camaro and that car need to be fired. seriously


this seems promising: Active Rev Match (ARM)
ehicles equipped with a manual transmission have ARM. ARM aids in smoother shifting by matching the engines speed to the next selected gear. By monitoring shift lever and clutch operation, ARM adjusts engine speed to match a calibrated value. On downshifts, engine speed will be increased before the clutch is engaged. On upshifts, engine speed is reduced to the calibrated value. Rev matching is maintained for a few seconds between shifts, then deactivates if the shift is not completed, and engine speed returns to idle.

Maybe this will cause C6Z prices to drop. 40k is what the '06 are still going for.

I'd drive the shit outta it, it's gonna be a monster.
