2011 2SS/RS Owners Please Chime In
Thinking about a 2011 2SS/RS 6M Inferno Orange VIN#2G1FT1EW7B9135434
Just trying to see if the previous model year problems have been addressed by GM and fixed in the 2011 model, specifically the 2SS/RS 6M. If the 2011 owners would chime in I would appreciate it, im about 2 weeks away from making a decision on a new vehicle so any help would be appreciated. If anyone can let me in on any info build date etc on that above VIN thanks in advance. I know it has the red leather seating and the Hurst short thow shifter. |

It's that guy

yeah I have the grind until the tranny warms up too, I just figured that was normal though, is that an issue? as far as my 2011 SIM 2SS/RS I've had few issues. Other than the rattling trunk under heavy bass (easily fixed by weather-stripping) and a slight rattling coming from the gauge cluster due to the plastic not being flush with the dash...minor things but I love the car

Just had flat rally stripes sprayed and had them touch up the spots. I don't want the dealer touching it.. Shifting is fine if you let it warm up. I baby it until the oil temp comes up.

I bought my 2010 IOM 2SS/RS LS3 on Sept 12, 2009, I am not sure of build date but the car just arrived to the dealer. I have had the clutch stick to the floor about 3 times SMOKING the clutch, and I NEVER USED THE LAUNCH MODE, as I KNOW HOW TO SHIFT A CAR AND HOW TO LAUNCH IT. Even though I NEVER raced it...The rearend is somewhat fried also. The dealer says its OK but I DON'T THINK SO. The heated drivers seat stopped working about a month ago, thats when I HAD ENOUGH and brought the car in. I told them to KEEP IT as long as they had to, GET IT RIGHT or I might have to go to extremes. I MUST protect OTHERS by informing them of the PROBLEMS this car is having. JUST THE FACTS, JUST THE FACTS.
I would have bought the Automatic IF they offered the LS3 with it, but I didnt want cylinder deactivation. NO WAY. Think before you get one. THINK HARD. |

The grind is normal with any performance transmission. ALWAYS let your camaro warm up completely before nailing the throttle. Allow the thermal expansion to take place or there is a possibility of gouging your cylinder walls and even the cam. Be careful when it's cold! An engine and tranny at temp makes for a smooth shifting and lots of power. It's designed that way.

Thanks for all the responces guys, they sold my inferno orange one but I found a red jewel one and this one has the sunroof I wanted so im leaning towards getting it. Still a 2011 2SS/RS 6M with the Hurst short throw in it.
I know all first year vehicles have there issues and this seems to be the same here. Appreciate all the help. |
