Door panels are black on this one too? That's odd.

TJ91 · 02-15-2009, 06:44 PM

Why is it every IOM car has the black panels in it,, im starting to get pissed. I know my order sheet says that i get my orange plastic panels with it, but is there another reason as to why these cars are getting black panels.
Zedder, if you have any more photos, can you share them please.

TheCaptain · 02-15-2009, 06:48 PM

Probably because GM is just piecing cars together to get them out and looked at right now. Most people don't know about the IOM panels, so they're not losing out on anything by doing that.
I imagine they want to get the car out there to get some exposure, even if its not "spec sheet" perfect.

huh? What's up with the 1982 Ontario plate? Bet its been a long time since you guys have seen only six digits on a plate!

The quiet exhaust is to hide the AFM drone with the L99. I was hoping they'd let the LS3 have real exhaust, but that will need to be added, for a nice throaty rumble.

GMPP CAI, and freer flowing aftermarket exhaust will give it a bit more "snap".

GM4LIFE · 02-15-2009, 07:07 PM

i like the growl when it started

That was a stick, not the L99.

bolteon593 · 02-15-2009, 07:45 PM

honestly, what are you guys complaining about.

there's no gas being given to the engine when he rolls out; if you want an indicator of what it'll sound like listen to the start up.

and the clicking someone else mentioned seems to be the shifting from 1st to reverse...

MerF · 02-15-2009, 07:53 PM

Clicking is the sound of shift linkage if I've ever heard it.

bobby35ny · 02-15-2009, 08:11 PM

I'm concerned about the lack of "snap" too. It might be an old test mule, it had the tiny SS emblem on the bottom of the steering wheel. I dont think the newer ones have that. or maybe its the "dead" rear? not the 3:73 the car needs...

MrGazinya · 02-15-2009, 08:14 PM

^^^He was comparing it to a Z06, I am sure there is a little difference there in the snap factor. Would not worry too much
