Enjoy modding her!

Thanks to everyone for the nice words.

I switched because I was not able to drive them with my wife and my 2 year old. I would not have made the change otherwise.

Now we are sporting a car seat

This is absolutely true... wait til you hit 4000 miles.

The dealer filled it with 91. It will get 94 next tank.

I'm driving it as hard as possible. It should have 400 miles or so broken in completely by friday.

The car was ordered by me. The phone number it came with is used as is with everyone's cars pretty much.

Maybe it's a driver issue

google the porsche 911 hahah

Well, it depends entirely on the model of 911, but most do 0-60 in just under 5 seconds.....maybe .5 seconds faster than the Camaro for a car that's a lot lighter, sounds like a sewing machine and is twice as expensive.

How fast do you need to go?
Hope you enjoy the car as much as every1 else does on this forum that's all that matters, you can do plenty to speed it up you should have known it was going to be slow compared to your C6's.

Congrats on the car..

This car is really slow. That will be fixed shortly.

Everything else is great. Beauty to look at. Smooth driving.

HA! Yeah ok... Are you on crack?? You sound like a blue oval fanboy...

The onstar issue could have just as easily have happened on a new vette as well. I don't see that as being the Camaro's fault.

0-60 in 5 seconds is not fast enough for me either. My jeep goes 0-60 in 4.1 seconds. Not sure what my Camaro does but I know it is better than 5.0, should/better be closer to 4.0. Good luck with your mods.

By the way my Camaro is anything but slow and only 504 RWHP.

[NicksVSix]

What kinda Jeep does 0-60 in 4.1 seconds?!

[lewylew]

2010 Grand Cherokee SRT8 Stock with only CAI and cat back (no tune). It ran 13.1 in the 1/4 with my wife driving it.

I was very aware of its weight and power. I never stated any different.
How fast do I need to go? Fast enough to satisfy my need for speed.

How tall do you need your truck to be? Tall enough to make it unable to use for anything practical? Id like to see you load and unload things.

See. It works both ways.

Thanks for the congrats!
