lol, you have me curious for entertainment purposes, I will have to read up. I remember the gas station thread, but I did not realize that was the same guy.
Welcome back Mike. You don’t want to start a debate, but here we go again... new member just this month but already quoting posts you read months ago. .
Who were the user(s) here on the forum who claimed the reason for the c8 delay was actually due to overheating, an idea that most others disputed?
I am not wanting to stir up an old debate, I am asking because I would like to keep tabs on those users who know what they are talking about. Apparently, whoever first claimed the C8 was overheating, is a person who is indeed connected. I saw their post about 3 months ago, but can't find it now.
If they would just wipe the love bugs off that thing we'd have a good look at a white C8.
Hope it tests out fine. I am tuned in to this thread ( yes, pun intended )
Good advertising also.
If they were overheating last ring attempt, the public would never know. GM would have to come back to set a respectable time.
I am still trying to find the user who posted that overheating was the problem. "C8 Overheating" yields too many results. I think the person might have said "they heard from a birdy", I remember because I thought the person was clueless. Turns out I was the clueless one. Hindsight, overheating makes sense now.

You're looking for MikeC7 or Irun4cops or bbbvettes.com (interestingly the only "emerging vendor" I've ever seen morph into a "former vendor").
All of them have been banned (and many believe they were the same guy with different User Names).
All peddled in fantastic stories of overheating, electrical glitches (shut downs at gas stations became a particularly entertaining moment), chassis flex, glass breakage, etc.
More drama and rank speculation than actual facts. Certainly nothing anybody could hang their hat on (like you seem want to do here with overheating).
Oh - and can't leave out the mysterious law enforcement, FBI/CIA wrinkles the author(s) brought to the table as well. I was waiting for the MI5 connection next, but alas, the last variant of the guy got sent to camp.

Why would GM go to the time and trouble and expense to send cars to Germany for "cooling" work?
As I type this, it's 75 degrees in Nurburg. High tomorrow is 85
As I type this, it's 111 degrees in Phoenix.
Mid 90's in Willow Springs by Tuesday.
Ditto Bowling Green.
Plenty of hot places in America to test cooling systems right now....

Yeah, I would think they'd be testing them all over the place. And definitely in the hot climes.
If they're testing the boosted cars which most everybody assumes won't be released for a while after the base ME, then they've got time to do all sorts of running/testing/calibration. As I'm looking to get one of those as opposed to the base, I hope they're running the **** out them breaking all sorts of **** on them.
