Amen to that brother! Might as well bury me, because I will be dead from old age when this ever happens.

I can vouch for that. I am there at least twice a year. I am lapping there with one of the groups. About 2 hours track time during the day, around 300km on track each day, 37L per 100km fuel mileage and around 160kmh average per lap. The place is the ultimate in the C8. Love it! I describe it...

Tony Roma basically said he would love to have an actual manual transmission, but technically and cost wise it is not really possible. Snippet from Motor I Com. ↓ Manual Transmission Problem The C9 will likely keep the dual-clutch transaxle, even though Roma personally wants something else...

Only 1499 limited edition being made. The option will cost 190000 EURO over the base F12. Do you are looking at over 1 million CDN out the door.

I am pretty sure when I bought my maintenance package, I was told the same thing that it is not covered for whatever reason. I am three years away but will ask the question next year when I am in for regular service.

No immobilizer required in the two years I have been with them. Paying the same as last year. My F150 went up through as I think it was eight on the list on most stolen.

Maybe they will, maybe GM won't, and as much as I love rowing gears, I doubt it will be faster but possibly more fun. I would have to think hard about this option after using this DCT in track conditions. Don't see how the manual will top it performance wise. Whoever designs the programming...

I would still buy another. Find another car this reliable and that performs like this car for the money and maybe I would change my mind.

I might take one of those with wider tires, platform and extreme Z07 aero. If it is in and around the $10000USD base price difference of the C7, I might consider it for a better track machine.

Not here in southern Ontario, I will be driving into November or until they salt the roads. I won't even schedule my oil change at the dealer until the end of October.

Man that would be nice but I doubt it from a marketing point of view. This scenario would eliminate a good portion of Z06 and Eray market. If it does come to fruition in this generation, doubt it would be more than 540-550hp.

Nah...........I will just adjust the dash light control knob. I have plenty of light in the garage when I use the garage light switch. So bright in fact that it will cause temporary blindness. But that is operated by a regular wall light switch. It is the door open lights that don't cut the...

Another work around is turning the dash display up full. This would mean that you have to readjust when you drive at night unless you prefer it super bright.

Unless you are racing, I would not put the Chinese lithium battery in my car to save the weight. Warranty is prorated after 6-months and as with most lithium starting battery applications. The extra electronics in the lithium controllers are the weak points this chemistry and not the cell...

The lights built into the garage door open motor units come on and stay on for 5 minutes when I activate the doors or break the safety beam, so yes they are on when I am entering and driving into the garage. Could be a few factors contributing to the "darkness", such as tinted windows in the...
