Mechanical fuel injection in Corvettes goes back even before that to the C1 era which I'm sure you knew. Jack Podell and others (like Chuck Berge) have made some decent money off of keeping those fuel injection systems working properly.:D And even the original Volvo mechanical fuel systems weren't the best, and I recall helping a Volvo-ite work on a couple.

Of course, now we have fuel injection in just about every car made---but the question is, not how universal it is, but how long did it take for this super-reliability? That goes for 8-6-4-----maybe....:yesnod:

Yep only time will tell Bill. As my dad always said "with the benefit of hind sight I could have been rich today". I did know that mechanical fuel injection went back to the 57 vet I believe, the old port type. My first experience with it was in the early 60 s and there was no one in our area that could get it to run right at that time if you had problems with it. Probably was in the 80s when it became more reliable with the advent of more advanced electronics and computers,wouldn't you say. :cheers:

Dear God,

hear my prayer....can we just get to Jan 13th so all this crap stops?

:willy:

Hang in there Robert I know you can make it.:cheers:

:thumbs:

Yeah what he said! That thing looks like crap from the back. I just hope the real thing look a lot different then the pics. Who the hell wants to pay those prices for a camaro

I wish this section of the forum was locked until Sunday night.

I agree...but then again I keep coming back to read the threads each day. It's like a train wreck, it's ugly, but we look (and comment) anyway

:lurk:

What is the website Chevy set up for the unveiling of the C7 ??? ...the website they have the teaser news releases?

Isn't it something like 01.13.13.com, or something like that???

One13thirteen.com

Yer dreamin' if you think it will stop then...:cheers:

I'm waiting for the z06/zr1/whatever before I buy another.

so, so sad....but alas, true..... :rofl:

That's when it BEGINS!:D

Exactly! This ain nothing but preseason lol

Rude
 

Is it hard to be nice.....?

Hmmm....it's a test....and you didn't study.

The LT1 (that's the 5th gen V8 in the C7) will, at times, operate as a 3.1L 4 cylinder engine. You guys crack me up when you drag out stuff from the early 1980's as proof of what WON'T work in 2013. And to finish it off, you still get it wrong (the LT1 will NOT operate as a 6 cylinder engine).

Frankly, yes it is.

In this thread alone, there is so much junk that is incorrect, spouted off by C6 owners, who, for some reason, feel the need to incessantly pile on the C7, even though NONE has seen the actual car, driven the car, knows what the final horsepower number is, etc.
Talk about a half empty bunch....

My dad always said:
"Don't make a 100% decision based on 50% facts".
Well, the C7 forum is drowning in it. You could GIVE everyone on this forum a new 458 and half would bitch about the color.
