The passenger seat has a sensor that determines if the passenger weighs more or less than 100lbs. Less than 100lbs and the air bag is automatically turned off. More than 100lbs and the air bag is turned on. My grand daughter weighs exactly 99lbs and when we go out to eat, the bag is "off" and "on" after dinner. When I first got the car, I looked every where for a switch to turn the air bag on..

Another thing: Remove your engine cover when running at the drag strip for a better ET. The engine cover retains engine heat. Ok, so the ET improvement is probably negligable, but it might be enough to beat a Mustang....who knows???

On-star now reports to your dealer when your oil life % gets to a certain point and you get a notice from your dealer to come in for service. On-Star sends you an email as well.

Also, curious if anyone knows where the decal is that tells you all the RPO codes installed on your car. They're in the glove box on C5 vettes and on the door jam for 4th gen Camaros, but I haven't found this on the new Camaro.

Here's a Fun Fact:

If you only have 7 spark plug wires hooked up and run the car not only will you get a CE light but may also get a "Service Stabilitrack" screen, TC off ST off and traction loss lights...

That's because that option comes with the FE4 suspension upgrade on the SS the 2010 and 2011 are basically boned for that option :P for the ZL1 it's currently on constraint RPO Code: B4MF.

Checked to day, it did nothing of the sort. You might want to have yours checked out.

and it does this every time it gets to or below 37 degrees. so if you're driving and the temp goes up to 38+ and drops back to 37 or lower the message will appear again.

Do you have LED bulbs, cause that will cause it, mine does that when I push the break pedal....
