RC, thanks for keeping us informed of the goings on in BG!
I'm looking at these pictures on my phone, so I may just be seeing things.. are the exhaust pipes stacked in this slide you caught? http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s...psea921a58.jpg Talk about rectangular exhausts - Callaway uses a sort of rectangular/ rounded exhaust. I expect after market offerings of rectangular exhaust openings. |
C7 book?
RC has there been any talk of a new book about the development of the C7 Corvette. There was a book produced for the C6 which had some great photographs by Richard Prince as I recall.
Even the development of the new Viper was featured in a 150 plus page hardcover book that was recently published. Looks like there are lots of good C7 development pictures available for a book and Kirk is always good for a story or two as well! |

RC,
I've learned more about the C7 from your posts over the last couple days than I have learned collectively from both this forum and GM. Thank you VERY much for taking the time to document the wealth of information and thank you especially for sharing it here with us! Your posts have been great and your efforts are by far some of the best contributions regarding C7 information that any member has shared on the C7 forum! Thank you again!

RC,
Did GM give a reason they went with a dual mass flywheel?

Like prior vettes it was in...to reduce gear noise, but to also absorb the transition when afm is activated and deactivated.
Thanks, you really provided a great service for those of us who couldn't be there to collect and collate all this info. :thumbs:! |
Its just like when you start and shut off your engine...it shakes everything. Same deal when you shut off half...your going from two combustion events at once to one...think of it as two v4 engines running at once...shut one off...you'll get some shuck and jive if you know what I mean...lol....start one back up...same thing
C4's had dual mass because the zf trannies were noisy and it dampened that out. Dual mass is nothin new...cars using for decades. |

Not knocking the quality of picture here RC, I am just curious as to where the car actually was during those stages like where was the picture of the concept taken.

Gotcha keagan...my bad. Yeah, outside their design studio. Its closed off so they can see models in natural light. Funny thing is, in pic#4, you see that old gm bus? Tadge said they sit in side and drive around a clay model looking at it...lol.
