Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
Thanks everyone! Took it for a roofless cruise last night around Lake Lewisville and it was amazing, really reminded me of the S2000.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
Beautiful car! I've been debating selling both Evos and getting something really nice like this or a GTR. I just can't get over how fun Evos can be for so cheap though!

If you can really do it, you are foolish not to.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
I think you'll get used to the electric parking brake, I did and actually prefer it now. I'm actually researching how to put one in my GSX to go along with a brake upgrade.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
You're probably right. I do like how it also acts as a hill-assist from a stop on an incline.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
This car is a rolling computer! Got in my car this morning, fired it up, noticed the touchscreen going through a strange rebooting sequence, then saw there were quite a few new options under the Home --> Settings --> Vehicle menu! The car now has the ability to auto-lock the doors when I walk away from it plus a few various other things (supposedly updated nav maps/POI's as well). Pretty cool! I guess Chevy must have updated it via OnStar's 3G connection.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
Yea, I am guessing through onstar's.
I love my dads c6. He gets emails from his car saying if his tire pressure is low and what not, pretty damn cool if you ask me!
I think there is a slew of diagnostics it runs then it can be setup to alert you if you need to perform maintenance.
I am guessing eventually dealerships will just know when cars need maintenance (i am guessing some have this already, besides just mileage guesses i mean) which will be handy.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
OnStar's phone app allows me to remotely check tire pressure, fuel level, the odometer, lifetime MPG, remaining oil life, lock/unlock doors, honk the horn & flash the flights, plus see it's current GPS location. It can remote start the engine if you have an automatic transmission. It can send nav directions from my phone directly to the in-dash. It will also email me when maintenance is coming due plus alerts my local dealership who I'm sure will call me to get a service scheduled (free oil changes for 2 years).
