    There's a new Corvette in the Family!

    "the Ontario event can be done for the same money as going to the school in Nevada" That's ~ $1400 fee ($1k USD), airfare, ~$400, car rental $125, $200 for an extra 1 night room, total $2125 CAD. The CTMP cost is simiar for this program?

    I Went to Play in The Appalachians...

    I knew the final drive ratio was a bit taller with non Z. Wasn't sure by how much. With Z, I'm at 1650 at 120 clicks.

    1625 rpm at 130 clicks, you don't have Z51 do you? The 2 cliff pics are very similar to Rattlesnake Point, just north of Milton.

    Tremec 6 speed manual with C8 mounting points

    Impressive. The Lambo and Ferrari replica community will take a keen interest. But the big question; How much??

    Dead Battery - Engine stops after 5 minutes

    I'm 98% sure the body controller will turn a light off after 15-20 minutes of no activity, whether it's frunk, interior, or rear hood, when a lid or door is ajar. So that won't kill the battery by itself. In fact, yesterday I went to get in mine, saw the driver's door ajar when I took the cover...

    A Sucker Punch From Your Neighbour/Friend? (US/Canada Trade War)

    Not really. Half voted AGAINST a black woman, who was infinitely more qualified to do the job. Just like in 2016, against Hilary.

    My dealer forgot to replace the transmission filter on the first service

    Dealer in Milton told me 3.2 hours @ $180/, their price for the filter was $292. A liter of fluid, $62. Then they add some for environment, rags, etc. I've watched YouTube of people changing it, 37 bolts on 2 pans but fast with a power driver. Seems 1 hour would be lots of time. I shopped...

    Viper/MC20 VS ZR1?

    I was a passenger in a Viper ACR at Mosport for 15-18 laps some years ago. It stayed well glued down in the corners, partly due to very sticky racing tires, partly due to driver skill. The torque from the V10 is amazing. An upshift feels like a wrecking ball hit the rear bumper. Had to drive...

    Transmission issue: Only shift through even gears

    Mechanically, a DCT more closely resembles a manual transmission than an automatic. It's just controlled by a computer. As you may be aware, there's 2 rows of gears on 2 shafts, each shaft connected to its own clutch. 1 shaft holds 1,3,5,7, the other 2,4,6,8. You've apparently had 1 row...

    C8 transmission filter service

    Update; Murray provided (thanks Murray), a couple of documents early in this thread to support GM covering the 1 st canister filter replacement, which I took to the local dealer. I also emailed GM Canada Service, who contacted the dealer. Between them, they eventually decided that the canister...

    Motor Oil Explain / Discussion

    I agree, use the Dexos at whatever cost, to keep GM happy. But it's not just "a couple of bucks a liter". I was getting 5 quart jugs of the 0W-40 Supercar European formula for my Hellcat at Walmart, in Buffalo for $28 usd, ~$40 cad a few years ago. OK, not really relevant. On Amazon, it's...

    Motor Oil Explain / Discussion

    One aspect I've been looking for an answer to; what's the distinction between Mobil 1 0W-40 European car formula, and Mobil 1 0W-40 Dexos, other than a big price jump?
