Yeah, very painless - especially in contrast to the situation with my CTS-V's supercharger noise. A pleasant surprise.

I agree, not out of line at all.

Though it'd be nice if there was a HID high-beam option, by this stage of the game.

Finally got around to taking it in. Total came to something like $1050; GM says they'll cover all but $150. Seems fair to me.

"Cavitate" means "boil/evaporate", essentially - localized areas of below-vapor-pressure - and you're not going to cause brake fluid to cavitate with a power bleeder.

If they're going to have the car up, you might as well put a bleeder line in. The siphon method is definitely a 'second-best' approach, better (by far) than doing nothing but not completely...

I assume it only happened when moving?

Mine is most noticeable when stopped...you can feel it when moving slowly, but at higher speeds it's almost impossible to detect, since wheel movement has...

Gotcha. I won't be paying for a new rack; it's like $750, and it's quite an installation job - the problem ain't that bad. I might try to finagle a goodwill, since it's only got 15K on it (and they...

Was it constant?

My problem is only present when hot. Leaving the garage, it's fine.

It's less a noise than just a tactile feeling in the wheel - it feels like there's a degree or two of 'dead...

I've autocrossed it (which is about all one can do with a convertible). No difference there either.

It would make sense to me that convertibles get a 'neutered' program, for exactly that reason -...

The notion that "there aren't any more" doesn't bode well for collision repairs...wouldn't be at all uncommon to have a frontal SRS deployment in a crash that's otherwise perfectly repairable.

I like the Michelins just fine, but IMO they're not worth ~40% more money than the Bridgestones. I know it's not exactly a fair comparison for most people since I'm running the 18/19...

I'm on Bridgestone RE050As, on Z06 'spider' wheels - have been since new (19/20 makes no sense on a convertible, IMO). I've got 15K on them and there's at least another 15K left.
