Nevermind, I was working the wrong way with math.

That would seem a fair assumption.  The logo wouldn’t have anything to do with the operation of the thing from an FCC perspective I’d think.  Did they file a separate one for the Cadillac key would be the interesting question.

Before a corner, cut the power (and the engine along with it), then power back on and full throttle.

I think some of the difference here though is that those are dedicated race cars vs a “track focused” version of the road car.  Any and every car has been turned into a real race car.  They raced old 60s muscle cars after all.

Lol, never would have thought of that.  They could call it the CERV after the old test cars I guess.

That’s why it seems weird they would make that key with a Vette logo instead of just blank.  Seems like a fair amount of trouble to go through to make a mold for the plastic that will recess the logo only to not use it.

Honestly, if they are thinking of selling this side by side with a front engine model like has been suggested, I would totally agree with you. There is no reason this thing should be called a Corvette if they are going to offer both, it just makes no sense. But it would be weird to keep it under the C7 generation…

So they took a Warlock, removed everything that made it a Warlock (minus some script on the tailgate), and are selling it as a Warlock... I’ll pass.  If I got a Warlock I’d want one in a dark color because, you know, Warlock...

Doesn’t GM usually make up a new badge for every generation of Corvette?  Seems odd they would be using the C7 badge on that key.

I guess for me it depends on what you’re towing, how far, and probably more importantly, how fast. I pulled an enclosed trailer for 4+ hours on the highway with a V8 with something like 400 ft-lbs (I think) and it was not something I would want to do on a regular basis. Towing it around town would probably be fine,…

My mother has a 94 Viper.  I can confirm that they are quite fun to drive.  I daily an 04 because I needed real windows and a real roof if I was going to drive it all the time and in rain.

He doesn’t mention the ELR specifically, but the Cadillac brand comments in general kinda do that. The XLR was basically a more plush Vette but didn’t succeed against stuff like a Mercedes SLK or Jaguar XK or stuff like that. The Vette probably cannibalized enough sales on its own. Guessing the ELR vs Volt argue is…

So GM wants to save money by not building vehicles that are low margin (makes sense), but will instead funnel tons of cash into random startup companies promising autonomy and ride sharing and all that jazz which has a very steep uphill battle (autonomy) and probably even more marginal profits (ride sharing)?  I’m not…

The first one reminds me how I’d like to take my 71 Vette to Bowling Green as a pilgrimage of sorts.  I realize it was built in St. Louis (I think), but all the same, a reasonble trip for me in Kansas.  I’d also like to take my 67 Dart up to the Woodward Dream Cruise and my 04 Viper out ot the west coast to visit my…

Honestly?  The frunk is perfect and a well needed addition for a truck.  If you’re hauling groceries or something for a quick errand and have people in the back you have no weather safe storage room without a bed cover.  Having a bed cover means having to remove it whenever you have something taller than the bed…

I’m noticing a pattern here for brand... Is VW just the most global brand out there or something?  By that I mean do they sell the same car in the most markets.  I know several companies sell the “same” car in different markets, but often with different names or brands.

“I was doing it for my image.”

I bet if you look at that display from the side it’s a silhouette of a car...

I guess that would make sense with trying to cool off hot air from a turbo or supercharged car.  Give it longer to radiate that heat away to something.

It always amazes me that some vehicles can operate with parts in the conditions they are in.  You get this idea that engineer design stuff as semi-precision parts and that if things aren’t quite right it will just fall apart.  The fact that vehicles will still function as vehicles without just falling apart with even…
