It's part of your XM radio subscription and once your Free trial expires you will need to purchase the XM radio plus the package that includes the weather and gas.

Great to know! Thank you! One thing about XM, do NOT resub to it even if you are till the subscription is OVER. Wait for a week or two after then call em up or they will call you. Then haggle the price, I was paying $4.50 a month in a 12 month period for my evo's XM haha.

Now OnStar, Wifi... I don't see myself subscription again for those after the trial though. Basic 5 year OnStar is good enough with me, at least for now.

Yeah have been doing it for years with all of my GM vehicles, never pay full price for XM. Just threaten to cancel, I usually get 6 or 12 month renewals for real cheap, few dollars per month it comes out to. OnStar is nice but would never pay their prices, the new 5 year basic plan is pretty cool now GM is including that.

If you travel a lot the OnStar works fantastic as a concierge service which it basically is now. I've used it in our old GM vehicles to book movie tickets on a whim, find a whole in the wall bar, a certain type of restaurant, local hiking trails etc. If you can think of something to do, OnStar will help you.


Tr6, you have by far the coolest delivery story ever. Congrats man. That red is just hot and I've loved it for years.

Just watched the video, congrats again man. Awesome car, awesome that DP delivered it to you and awesome on the details you listed in the review.

I have been enjoying my new Ram 1500 so much and some additional perf mods to my Charger I sorta let the camaro go but, after looking at yours I am calling my Chevy Sale Manager. He was suppose to call me when they got them in but he has yet to do so.

Please post more pics when you get the the new tires. Any other mods coming right away?

Oh for sure lol. I was telling AO and Tom P that I really am interested in the next Z car, especially if yall make ZL1 and trade mine in for it in a couple years... Now that ain't gonna happen LOL.

Thank YOU! It is a fantastic vehicle, truly is. I love it, everything I ever wanted in a car and more mine has. 2SS crap ton of goodies, MRC, NPP... I have MORE niche bells and whistles than a freaking 120k 3LT C7 Z06.... EXCEPT the PDR (performance data recorder c7s can have).

I already ordered my snow tires for it, the stock new tires that actually come with the car are extremely well designed. Absolutely no road noise and they are pretty damn sticky. I cannot comment on the tread life for now since I only have 530 miles on em lol.

I already do have mods lined up for it haha.
- Have a Diablo i2 and SCT x4 sitting in the office (both were free from the companies and free tune whenever i want actually).
- Used c7 throttle body and intake manifold (from a 2015 c7 z51 with only 140 miles on em) that I am going to send to WeaponX to get ported some more. We know the throttle body is 100% match but waiting to confirm the intake manifold is as well. I looked at em both and they look THE same but WeaponX wants to confirm it via their sources so they feel comfortable doing the work.
- Waiting on either Chevy performance to release their intake OR AFE. We shall see who comes out first
- Borla Xpipe, car has 4 cats, 2 of em are on the Xpipe which needs to go so she can breathe better AND add some more growl to it. On the highway with the windows down, you cannot really hear the exhaust. You CAN hear the engine though. It is a 6.2L V8 BEAST after all, you WILL hear it lol.


Tonight, I will go into my garage and start recording a video of the lighting stuff when it's completely dark inside the garage and outside. So I will post that later on. If there is anything else you guys want me to add into the video, do let me know!

Hey TR6 Lighting video will be great but either way anything you record will be appreciated... Also whenever you do the whole exhaust mod... Could you please post a video of how it sounds and the whole process PLEASE. Because if I like it I'll wanna do the same to mine. I'm pretty new to all this... Everything I been learning is from you guys so you know what I mean?

Here is the lighting video I made, granted it is prolly horrible but better than nothing with my noob skills lol. Towards the end of the video, I also do show the Gear position on the gauge cluster area WITH and WITHOUT ARM as well.



@Whis, I do not feel comfortable measuring with the wheels with the tires already on them as it won't be no where near as close as they will be lol.
