Member gets time w/ Black C7 Corvette Stingray Prototype, Showing Dual Boost Gauges
A site member recently got some hands on personal time with a black C7 Corvette Stingray prototype (#37). He has shared some of his photos with us
Oh, and dual PSI boost gauges are shown in the dashboard gauge, pointing to potential forced induction soon?

Seat time yes, but no driving time.

Dual boost gauges?
Do they actually do anything? I'd imagine they just sit there on the cluster at zero.

What is the negative 12 on the boost gauge? 12inHG? No one says -12psi hahaha. Its called vacuum. Even so 12inHG is low for a healthy car idling. They must have just thrown some numbers on the dash for the heck of it and figured they will deal with it later. I really like the center console and and ****pit look to the drivers seat.

But that's how boost gauges work. So -12 psi converts to about 6.5 inHG (gauge). That seems about right for idle. Not sure how they will display it when it's really pulling some vaccum. Maybe the scale changes???

Ive never seen a negative number on a boost gauge unless you are dealing with BAR. 15-20inHg is normal for idling in my experiences. I've never heard anyone talk about negative PSI, its always vacuum(inHg). Sorry for double posting on C7.com I figured it would get more traffic over there then here. |
