Default Minor annoyances

Why can't I turn the radio down when in reverse? Have front left caliper that warps with one high speed stop or several medium speed stops. Dealer replaced back rotor (WTF?), turned all once off car, turned all once on car, finally replaced front rotors. Used heat gun to check heat after 110+ high speed stop and all rotors within 2-3 degrees of each other. Metal in front left rotor apparently inferior.

Any one know of good cold air intake that you can tell the difference in power? No Tune... Got 28 hp on 2006 C6 Z06 with K and N. Could tell seat of the pants too.

Why is this even in Tech/Performance? You might get more responses in C7 General section.....

This does not bother me in the least for the 6 seconds I'm in reverse.
