After looking at all the pics and threads, especially Casa Calbasa (I have no idea how to spell his name) and his great interview. I'm shocked at all the advancements in the car. The more I read and see,
the more I love this car.

Anyways...
as a guy who drives his C6 as a daily driver, props for seeing it out in the drizzly, gray NY winter!
I'd bet there are differences to the trans. Which means a new part number for the trans. All new inside? Don't know. Maybe they are counting all the parts from the plant build... and BG just receives the trans as one part. ? Don't know and not a biggie for me. I've never been in 6th and wished there was a 7th or 8th.

I've also noticed that before with other car's LED lighting.

"Some LED displays are multiplexed which means they are flashing on and off in a way that is not discernible to the naked eye and produces no visible flicker. However when the LEDs are viewed on TV they aren't in sync with the TV frame rate"
