Default Hidden DIC Messages????

Can anyone answer? I was watching the C6 presentation / user information CD the other night where they showed a DIC display of "MAX SPEED". How do you get to this address? I imagine there are others like max rpm, max temp, lateral G's, and all the other parameters that go into the black box. It would be nice to monitor and / or reset these values if possible Thanks.

Incorrect information on the CD. Does not exist for display on the DIC.

Look at your CD again. I just realized average speed is one that you can look at with the TRIP button.

Default GM offers help in getting out of your GMAC lease!

GM just announced yesterday and new pull ahead program for Corvettes owners who are currently in a GMAC. Here's the deal...

If your GMAC lease on your Corvette is over by 01/02/09 and you want to purchase another GM product, they will waive up to 6 payments! You don't have to lease again and if you do lease, it does not need to be through GMAC. You don't have to get another Vette, you can get any new, GM product. You are still responsible for excess mileage and excess wear and tear.

This is a very short offer and is only good through 3/17/08. Feel free to contact me if you would like more info!

Dave

Push hard on the go pedal until it stops pulling - maybe you'll see it then

If you have a Window Valet, you can view the top speed and RPM since the last reset.

If you have a tire lose pressure doesn't a message come up tell you your max speed is limited? Maybe this was the message shown.
