BIKEBOY Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 OK, so I'm in the little boys room re-visiting an old Motor Trend issue this morning, and to my surprise the fourth or fifth time around now, I see the steering wheel on the cover story 2010 GT500 has strange 'nubs' on it? They almost remind me of the BMW 'M' wheel. Or sorta even look like back-up sensors on a rear bumper cover. But when I go to the story inside the mag...they're magically not on that car! One problem...I scanned the cover and it's over 500kb's. Anyone, either have a cover to scan and show, or can I send my scanned copy to someone to downsize, or anyone know about this strange picture already? I'm thinkin' this car on the cover was a test mule with a test steering wheel. Anyone??? BIKEBOY edit-notice in my sig....I love conspiracy theories!!! Hahaha.

BIKEBOY Posted October 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Anyone???? We are looking at this cover again this morning, and it's odd. New thought.....looks like the rivets in the old rim-blow wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are "timing marks" so they can show how much steering wheel input it is receiveing. We had the same thing on my grandson's quater midget so we could see his steering wheel input from the hot pits and adjust his car accordingly.
