I can't imagine they would be able/willing to do an electric motor along with a manual transmission for the gas engine. It's a completely separate propulsion system. With the auto/DCT the computer handles everything. I mean there's still sensors in the manual to know clutch and shifter position...

With the announcement that the CT5 will continue and separately the new LS6, what are the odds we see an LS6-based Blackwing in the future? A manual transmission? GM has made it abundantly clear there won't be a manual Corvette anytime soon but with the Blackwing showing a 50% take rate on the...

I think this was a rumor that didn't come to fruition. The revamped Android Automotive SVR is not cloud-based and does not require a subscription.

Pretty sure they install the track cooling bits. They weren't certain when I asked them but the instructors assumed it was installed. I ended up partially installing the track cooling before a track day at Sebring. I swapped the fronts for the smaller shields but could not for the life of me...

I think they fixed the audio/video sync issue for exports somewhat in the Android version of the app. It's at least close. In the Windows version the audio/video sync ends up several seconds off by the end of a track session, making it unusable. Another issue I noticed after my first track...

Cosworth released a Windows variant of AliveDrive. Super limited functionality right now. I did a quick export of a couple outings and it seems the overlay still has a mistiming as compared to the audio/video just like Android which is pretty annoying...

I checked SPS tonight and there was an update available! Android 14, UQBM, similar to some of the other cars that have gotten Surround Vision Recorder but alas, it's still not there. The APK is on the filesystem but it didn't get installed. The only discernable difference I'm seeing is the...

Just checked my 26 with SPS2 and nothing there. Apparently there's a new update spreading out to EVs at least so not just the Escalade anymore.

In their infinite wisdom this was an intentional change across a bunch of GM 2026 MY vehicles. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2025/MC-11024771-0001.pdf

Some updates on the current PDR state of affairs... Cosworth Pi Toolbox 14 "lite" (free) doesn't currently support importing PDR data. Pi Toolbox 14 Plus ($6.59/month but you can subscribe/cancel any time) does support 2025+ PDR files. @poor-sha's pre-built workspace is great to get started...

I just counted from the AliveDrive app and got exactly 12 laps (counting out/in) in each of the 4 sessions so 48 laps total. Essentially a session less 😢.

It was nice meeting you! I enjoyed hanging out with you and the other guys. Your lap times were super impressive with no track experience. The instructor only did a 1:21 in my car. I had a bit of a different experience with the track instruction and left somewhat frustrated. I definitely picked...

The PDR is the same for 25 and 26 5BW as well as the 26 Corvette.

Is Spring Mountain running 2025/2026 MY cars? Curious which version of the PDR they've got.

How necessary are the extra brake cooling bits for track days with the 5BW with steel brakes? They seem like a bit of a chore to install and I can't imagine swapping back and forth before/after track days. Does anyone have experience tracking their car without them? Or leaving them on for...
