Default I'm Impressed!!!!

Hi, I'm a C3 guy myself but I work at a chevy dealer & I fix Corvettes!!!
Our first C6 came in friday & I got to put a few miles on it (I did the prep on it) NICE car.... I'm Impressed
so far the only thing I would change .....
I'd want the engine to cut off if the transponder was out of range!!!
I didn't push it, car only had 6 miles on the clock when I started.... I can't wait to drive one that's broken in!!!!

That's what OnStar is for: to disable a stolen vehicle.

If the engine cut off when the transponder was out of range, you'd also lose the engine when the transponder battery died, or even when there was a lot of RF interference around. I wouldn't want my engine shutting off in those conditions.

1) They could put a low battery light on the transponder
2) Haven't seen RF problems since the airports installed ground radar systems... What a nightmare that was!!!
