Minor issues

K. Question. The info panel has a option that says "navigation" with a compass symbol decoration thingy. Is that supposed to do anything or is that just decoration until directions are sent from on star?

LMFAO I asked the same question today as I was staring at it, have to agree though it is prolly related to onstar directions.

Yes it is On star. If you ask them directions it will come up on the DIC, radio, and HUD. Also, If you have the On star app on your smart phone you can look up directions and send it to the car and it works the same way.

Noise is still there and bugging me ( not during acceleration mostly when on interstate) husband has tire store so we put it up on one of his drive on racks. Took about 9 paper labels off underneath. Checked all guards and Cowlings, all we're tight. Noise still there. This is not a huge deal but in MY PERFECT CAR I don't really like it. So if anyone figure it out please post.


Now for the compare to the Z06 inquiry. First let me say I had modified the Z06. It had upgraded exhaust, intake and a chip ( don't ask me names numbers or details I'm a girl. They were all Xmas present to keep me mollified in the Z06 for longer and until this car was born). In any event the Z06 was all you could wish for in handling, speed, acceleration and g's. I never had any complaints


I have still not had 36 in "OMG Richard Petty stage 5" but yesterday was giggling like a little kid when driving on the interstate. Ran up on a cobra ( don't ask year. It was white- he is probable at the Chevy dealer as we speak wiping away his tears and trading it for those folks who are interested). I have no idea yet how she is going to run from stop or rolling start under 10 but I know now what she'll do from 50 up. There is no comparison to the Z06( as much as that hurts to say). The handling was as responsive as the Z06 ever was, the acceleration significantly more ( although my nice camar ride turned more into a vette ride for the duration).


So. I know that may not be the technical answer fbodfather or the flashy response drake would give. But there you have it.


BTW. retired the DEFENDR tag since it lived on fiberglass. She got her name today. not original but appropriate. WICKEDZ.


Stripes put on last Saturday. Window tint in the am.

That was quite a story and testimonial from hands on experience. Bonus points for the funny anecdote about the Cobra.

Check your aerodynamic belly pan for proper fit (& road salt) & remove any loose labels on the undercarriage. Make sure that those little spats on the wheel wells are solidly affixed too.

Thats the only thing that concerned me was the road salt from the when it was moved to get stripes or test driven up North. It left the exposed bare metal parts rusty in appearance, caused discoloration to the stainless steel exhaust, and some of the aluminum surfaces apprearance are also marred. My dealer washed the car three times, and underneath as well. A small price to pay to be able to get one though. I'm ecstatic beyond words otherwise.

Still hearing the paper flapping noise. I have not brought it back to the dealership since I have little confidence they will find the issue. It could be something reaching a resonant frequency at freeway speeds, or it could be air flow induced, or some combination of all of the above, making it very hard to find. I am hoping someone like fbodfather (Scott) will get involved and have someone look into this since there are several of us experiencing the paper flapping noise.

This same noise happened with my 2LT recently.
On mine, it was a part number label becoming detached from one of my front struts and coming into contact with the wheel rim..
