Did they originally cold weather test the LT5?

That and the LT-5 loves the cold air.

Oooh! YES is does!

Testimony to the fact it is starving for AIR in the stock form.

The car was built in Bowling Green, but is from The Great Lakes State of Michigan! We have COLD weather five months out of the year. They're all cold weather tested! :-)

Since I hadn't driven it in over a month, I had never experience flat spotted tires......OMG!!!! It felt like I had square tires for about 5 miles lol!!!

I was just amazed at how after sitting in minus degree weather, it started like it was a summer day. These engines are incredible.

I am a little surprised by this Thread. I guess because for us we wouldn't think about driving our ZR-1's in major snow or cold, but back in the day a lot of Vette owners drove them as their only vehicle. I worked one winter in a very snowy area of Ontario (Owen Sound). Two of our guys had C3's (the current generation at that time). They slapped four snow tires on their cars and went pretty much everywhere with them. I would think that every car built in North America is built to withstand cold weather.

Installed Odyssey pc925 battery with adapters and disconnect (neg-)

Weather today warmed up to 48°F, after a few weeks of freezing temps and single digit nights. So, I tried Marty's method and the car started right up, after months of hibernation. No chain rattle, tapping, injector knocking, or any odd noises.
