Default This is sad.

I just noticed that my 03 trailblazer ext lt has a better DIC than my vette. You think the flagship car of chevrolet would have all the better electronics. And my Tb has a better sound system a 6 disc in dash bose system. But hey the vette has just a little more power I guess

When guys start comparing their DIC's, anything can happen.

And the 0 to 60 time for the TB is what, like 30 minutes or so compared to the Vette I'd say they put the enhancments in so you'd have something to look at while you're accelerating.

Never had any problems or complaints about my DIC.
Besides, I don't suffer from DIC envy.

I think the C6 has heated seats, in dash changer etc....personally I like the 12 disc changer I have in my C5 rather than an in dash 6. The more CD I can cram in the car the better.
