GM Clutch-By-Wire Patent Could Mean a Manual Transmission For the Mid-Engine Corvette | Clutch Master Cylinder

1. Transmission. Who wouldn’t want a transmission built by Formula 1 supplier Pankl?2. Cylinder head. The 15mm lower Husky/KTM cylinder head is a giant step forward in lessening cam twist. It also makes the bikes feel lighter in the air as the weight is lower in the chassis.3. Sound. The Husky is the quietest production 450. It was only 111.4 dB on the 2-meter-max sound test and 93.2 dB on amateur sound test.4. Weight. At 224 pounds, it is the second lightest 450 on the track.5. Electric starting. You can’t give credit to Honda, Yamaha and Kawasaki for having electric starting without giving credit to the bike that got there first.6. Radiators. The radiators are mounted 12mm lower on the frame, and the water capacity is up 20 percent.7. Handlebars. Every test rider liked the new ProTaper handlebar bend.8. Maps. Even though the black box is the same on the 450SXF and FC450, the two maps feel different. We were told that the black box was tuned to the FC450’s ice-cream-cone restrictor muffler, which explains why we liked the FC450 maps better than the KTM maps. 

That’s when Finn says the right side dropped and leaned the truck roughly 20 degrees, and then things went south.

The system may seem like yet another method of of taking control away from the driver but, it may actually be a savior for the manual transmission as it could take away the mundane tasks of clutching in and out while in stop and go traffic while making it somewhat future-proof by bringing it into the network of modules that can be centrally controlled by one of the cars computers.

Very few people have gifts of driving excellence. I certainly did not. I was in three collisions from the age of 16-20, all my fault. Those accidents made me realize that I was a poor driver who needed to improve. I took the next 1.5 decades to train myself in defensive driving and disciplined myself into good driving habits. I did not expect anyone or anything to do the work for me.

The Problem: Electric power steering assist may be lost momentarily, followed by a sudden return of EPS assist, potentially increasing the difficulty of steering the vehicle, especially at low speeds, as well as increasing the risk of a crash.

Pretty much this. My Stinger beeps at mailboxes and falling leaves and parked cars so I either learn to ignore the warnings or turn the whole thing off, and neither of those options are adding to my safety.

1. Maps. Take our word for it, the green coupler offers the best ECU map. It is stronger than the black coupler and is less hyperkinetic than the white coupler. If you want to remap the black box, below is are the maps we ran.

Also, chrome is back, and it’s apparently a completely polarizing concept, like so much else in this country at the moment: either you hate chrome and want none of it, or you love chrome so much you want all of it, everywhere, until you look like you’ve just rolled out of a 90′s Cam’ron video.
