rought starts in the cold...last year same issue around this time of year. its almost like the car is not meant for cold weather, but once i press the push button start the car starts up pretty darn rough and then after its alright

if the battery is only needed to start the car, then the alternator kicks in and takes over, whys it important to change the battery once it gets old?

service active handling same time of year. last year around this time late in fall it kept happening so i ignored it. im not sure why this happens only when its cold out close to storage time. once its spring and summer it never pops up. do u guys have any clue?

Yep. We won't mention a certain baser who is having noise/vibration problems.

Speaking of dumbasses........: crazy2:

Should North Korea detonate a nuclear bob in the atmosphere above the US, will our Corvettes still be operational? ''

Or will the EMP from the detonation "kill" the computers and our cars be "toast"?

What language is this guy speaking???
I have a system to sell. It includes a 90-93 Megasquirt PnP Gen 1, tuning cable and GM AIT sensor. It also includes an LC-1 WB02 with new sensor (less than 500 miles), A/F gauge with pod and A-pillar. Wait, there's more! This kit also includes PnP COPs with a TSE mounting bracket, a 90-93 automatic throttlebody WITH newer VTPS sensor AND pig tail. Still want more? OK, this kit will come with an extra OE fuel injection harness (should you want to build a sequential fuel injector system), AND the cast aluminum intake elbow from a JRCAI that the AIT sensor threads into so you can make a CAI after you have removed your restrictive AFM!

Guaranteed to unhobble horsepower and make that flea flicker fly...

seems to have a strong resemblance to the language that GM spewed back in 2010 when they tried to convince previous C6 base owners to move up to a wider slower version for an additional 10K+..........

just sayin'.................................. ..

car isn't designed to meet the market requirements across the pond, yet they still chose that location over any other in the US???????????

sure, big money in the oil areas of the world, but exactly how many do they think will be bought there............ handful at best MAY be imported there.......

sure they played the marketing game, but in MY OPINION, they now are going to sell a ZR1 for 130K+ which should have the "on track" overheating issues of the C7 Z06 corrected, when they should have taken care of the Z06 owners first before selling them a "track ready" vehicle that couldn't make that track run for long without overheating......

corporate greed making the improvements on a "newer" model while leaving the previous purchasers holding the bag..............

Megasquirt? I thought that was the LDHL's pet name for Ruxxy. What's he doing in your GS?

Morning guys....
People are people, no matter what they drive. There will always be those that try to add performance and those who ask stupid questions......I think I MAY have asked one once.....

The unveiling in Dubai was just sh!tty on GMs part, IMO. Should have happened in the good ole US of A. Could have been done a couple weeks ago at SEMA....but no, it had to have an International flavor...doesn't matter to me, I'll never own one. The ole baser model works just fine for me. I think I'll stick with it.
