My new Camaro is bumpy
 
Hi guys and girls,
I picked my new 2011 Camaro 2LT with the RS package from the dealer a couple of day ago. And I noticed that it feels really bumpy when driving. Is this normal or could there be something wrong with my new baby?

Thanks for the help

LT has softer of the two available suspensions. What was your last car?

A firm suspension is characteristic of the gen 5 Camaro. Did you test drive it before you bought it?

I had an old Ford Focus. But it feels bumpy.

Well we had it ordered. So I assumed it would be perfect. :iono:

If your old car felt bumpy too, maybe you just drive on lousy roads.

The 5th Gen Camaro is all about the driving experience and feeling the road.

My old car didn't really feel bumpy though

I would describe it as a busy ride. It's a sports car so it will be a little bumpy on rough roads.

You're riding on 20" tires and wheels. There will be a difference, just drive the s**t out of it and you'll no longer notice :thumbsup:

An "old Ford Focus" is not a sports car. It is sold, designed and engineered to appeal to a large audience of average consumers who want reliable and boring transportation. That means average suspension tuning..designed to smooth out the bumps in the road. Camaro is a sports car, engineered to handle.

It's also designed to fall apart. :D

Do the 20" wheels and tires make it bumpier?

smaller sidewalls means stiffer ride. The stiff suspension is normal and makes the car handle better. If you think The camaro has a bumpy ride try riding in a 3500 truck.
