Z/28 Radio -- None or single speaker?
As the title states, I am curious what we know. Initially I read the press release as 'no radio' since they were trying to save weight, but I know they kept the single speaker for the door chime (is this the one by the key, or does it come out of the central dash speaker?).
The pictures seem to depict a 2010-2012 style radio w/ CD. This would suggest to me that the car might have a single speaker. While a small issue and certainly the least important in my mind as it relates to the performance of the car, I'm curious. If no radio, what will they put in its place? |
It does have a single speaker for the door chime. I'm guessing it has a radio for the bluetooth, phone and onstar capability.

I read somewhere that the speaker is in the driver's door.
From the pictures I've seen it looks like it still has a radio and the grills are still in the passenger door, rear, and center dash. I'm thinking it shouldn't be too difficult for people to install more speakers if they want to. |

My guess is pics with radio are showing the "optional" radio,which can be ordered; similar to the idea that AC is optional, but can be ordered......

Many of the controls and alarms are set through the radio. So I think you get the base radio CD player but it only comes with one speaker for the chimes turn signal clicks ect....

A radio with one speaker (it's not a bad one, at that) would be 100x better than no radio at all. |

Thanks! I missed that one.
I guess that's that, then. Radio with one speaker. :thumbsup: |
If I bought this car, I would remove the speaker and radio, and just fabricate a lightweight plastic or fiberglass filler panel, remove the radio, and install the panel as filler over it (painted either black or dark grey).
This car is for track purposes. So you don't need to hear the seatbelt chime, headlight reminder chime, door ajar chime, or turn signal click. You don't need music since the sound of the engine is all you want to hear anyway. Sure the feds mandate that it be there at production, but once you take possession there's nothing that says you can't take that stuff out. And it's not like you're taking this car on any long vacation trips, so you really don't need any of the modern conveniences. If you do aspire to take this car on a long drive, you're missing the point of it's existence, and I can name at least 4 cars in what will probably be the Z/28 price range that are fantastic, upscale cars that you can enjoy long distance drives in. |
