Tire pressure for a new Mach V option. When at -15 PSI the tires actually suction to the road and you can pull 1.5 lateral g's and drive on the ceiling of a tunnel to improve fuel economy when the Holland tunnel is jammed.

It sure is a boost gauge. Good find. The scale is right also (-15 to +15 probably) like the ZR1. I don't think GM intended that to get out.

Didn't the engineer mention something about vacuum control for the exhaust, during the C&D interview last night, due to the MDS? It could be the indicator for it but a real boosted C7 would be nice.

I don't think they have a blower rotor icon for an exhaust flap, but it's possible.

I'm really hoping for a twin turbo model personally... the roots blower is okay but it is a huge waste of power twisting the blower. With direct injection and the advances in ECM technology a twin turbo setup at RPM would not have much if any lag once on the throttle.

I have spent the day analyzing the little symbol next to PSI in order to understand if it represents a supercharger or turbo.
Reliable sources confirm that the symbol is actually an ear of CORN.

OH here we go....although since it has the same -15 and the same symbol (blower lobes) as the zr1 i would guess blower over turbo, although i would rather have a turbo.
