?Important Rubber Band?
I took apart my center console/ center molding piece to get at the stereo. when I lifted the piece off a broken rubber band seem to pop out. I have no Idea where this was connected too. Is this a vital piece? what does it do and where does (did) it go?
Thanks

That's the secret source of the Z06's extra horsepower!

The role of the rubber band
Wow, Since I removed it the following has happened:
1.) The car is now invisible to all radar/laser detectors
2.) the 1/4 mile time is now 11 flat
3.) Top speed is now 201mph
4.) The radio will now automatically play what I want to hear
5.) Milage has increased to nearly 50mpg
6.) dirt will not stick to the car
7.) Brake dust no longer appears on the wheels
I am kind of glad I broke it off
