Tried to peel out and it couldn't - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

CesOne · 07-09-2010, 09:38 AM

I put the car in sport and turned off t/c then I slammed down the gas and nothing... Why ?

Another thing I was wondering about is the whole fuse pull thing .. Is it only for V8 ? Will it do anything to a V6 ? I did a little search but there was so much maybe someone can shed some light on this for me ?

You have big 20" by 9" tires in the back meant to provide maximum traction.. Even the SS cannot just "Peel Out" at will with those. You have to get the RPMs up and drop the clutch, or in the case of the automatic, Brake stand to get the RPMs up then let go.

yep...what jtzako said. V6 will smoke em too...theres tons of video proof of that! You just gotta find the right method.

yeah i have this issue too.. I have an M6, and it certainly can be done, but its way harder than on 4th gens... combo of bigger wheels, better tires.

and of course both TC and Stabilitrack ruin the fun.

Overall, I feel like the v6 should faster than it does, but, I've only driven mine....

The fuse pull was for spark timing when low grade fuel was used.

It will do nothing for a V6.

Thanks....

And everyone else thanks also

I just Feel like it should be faster... Even though I drive it like an old man ....

sometimes i hit the gas and it doesnt shoot out... is it because i drove it like a whimp from start that i made my car a whimp now... lol

Only reason it would act different one time vs the other is maybe it wasnt in the right gear when you first started to roll. I know mine sometimes doesnt downshift soon enough so I get a hesitation before it takes off.

When I bought mine I DID get the SS and had similar problems.

OP, How long have you had the car, and is it an auto or stick?

dtm4192 · 07-09-2010, 10:22 AM

How many miles do you have on it? Mine wouldn't even chirp (auto) until I had over 1000 miles on it. Even then it wouldn't do a whole lot depending on the road surface. Now that I have my intake and exhaust it'll peel out pretty good but still no where near what a V8 can do. Sometimes it'll do it with just traction control off and other times I have to shut off traction and stabilitrac.

uhhh I have 20" on the back and can peel out by just putting the rpms at about 3k and drop the clutch(with t/c off)

I can even do it with t/c on.

Funny....

I was thinking about the V8 at the time but payments would've been to high... Also I'm coming off a Crossfire and that thing only had 215 hp. So I felt the 300+ hp was enough.. Also its my everyday car so gas was a factor also...

Sometimes I feel that my V6 cant do 0-60 in 6 sec.. That's all..

I still love my car

It might not if its too hot out, and/or AC is on. My first 'muscle' car only had about 310 HP and it was plenty so I imagine your V6 should be good to go.

Exact same question I was about to ask. If your engine hasnt even broken in yet, don't sweat it. One day, my friend came over, and he FLOORED the crap outta my Camaro.. I was kind of scared, cuz I haven't floored it myself. But somehow, it woke up the engine... and now when i drive it, its MUCH more aggressive than it was before... Now granted... i only have 1000 miles on it.. (I think 1500 is breakin) But I have felt a difference from the day I got the car, till now. The engine just gets better

Wait and see =D
