    Question Question for the C8 guys (from a C7 guy)

    I can verify that V4 on the dash turns off instantly when off throttle on my 2024. This would be the desired effect as V4 would have no effect on gas mileage off throttle, as well as engine braking would also want to use all eight cylinders to be effective. I am not sure why anyone would want...

    Colours gone from 2025

    We will have to see, but I predict that the lowering of the amount of available colours for the 3 currently produced models for possibly 2-4 'exclusive' colours for the 2025 ZR1. Strange GM would not want to fully utilize there new state of the art $439M USD (2018) Bowling Green paint facility.

    Featured Insurance cost

    $1100 Ontario (Full coverage) and minus about $400 from that if I take if off the road from December to end of March based on my previous Viper which was the same price. Everything, 2 million, 5 year depreciation, accident forgiveness.

    C8 Stingray Cluster Symbol

    Collision avoidance warning. This goes to yellow as you get closer and then full red warning square in the middle of the display. I had it go off yesterday on a spirited drive yesterday. They also have one for humans walking in front of the car. P.S. Judging from the reflection in the dash...

    Quench marks in tempered glass

    You are absolutely right. Normally I cannot see it with the naked eye very well, but it shows on cameras and with my sun glasses. I have seen this with ceramic tint all all my last 4 vehicles that where tinted with XPEL CS. When wearing my polarized sun glasses and I can see it in other cars...

    New colours for 2025 released

    I may stand corrected, but I am sure for the last two years the maximum colours have be fourteen (14) and I believe this will be the same for 2025.

    GM Stopping Sharing Driver Info

    I installed the application the other day, and ONSTAR SMART DRIVER is no longer automatically activated. You manually have to go to settings of the application to turn it on. (That is not happening) Be careful if you reinstall the application if previously removed as that setting may still be...

    Got the letter yesterday as well, but I already booked the DLR fix Monday and a headlight spacing issue to the body panel adjusted yesterday and today.

    Some good news on the recall.

    Sometimes, or at least in my case, I would not have fit in the coupe comfortably (basically at all) as there is a couple of inches extra head room in the HTC with the roof open or closed. Regardless of the fitment, I probably would have gone with the HTC anyway, just because I like the...

    No more driving like Granny.

    Yes, mine clicked over at 806km. Driving this car in granny mode, is still a blast, as both passengers in my car at different times remarked on how fast it was and how hard it pulled (75-80% throttle) and handling (off the charts) without breaking 3500rpm. 196kmh into the breaking zone got...
