I spoke to Matt (Lethalhammer) at Camaro Fest. At the time he was willing to do a video about the issue. He has 30K+ YouTube subscribers. That might be enough negative press to get this issue a higher priority within GM.
That usually doesn't work too well as evidenced by this thread which is most likely the reason for the communications withdrawal. Just knowing that every single thing they communicate will be posted publicly is enough for legal to put the muzzle on. I just hope it's fixed before I purchase a 19 ZLE.

I see your point about the thread, but if it weren't for this thread, I'm not sure GM would even be considering a fix.

From the very beginning I have been completely open with GM about the fact that this thread exists and that there's a group of people with the same issue that I intend to keep in the loop. The intent was to keep the engineers from being pestered by 100s of people instead of just me, and the engineers certainly had the opportunity to run all responses through their communications department. If an engineer would have asked me not to share a response, I certainly would have honored that request. I've been doing my best to redact names, etc. to protect the individual engineer's identity. The only name I have made public is Ron Kiino who's name, email, and mobile # is already on just about every Camaro/Corvette publication. It's his job to deal with the public, so I think that's okay.

I truly believe the Camaro engineers are good and honest people doing the best they can, but it's becoming very clear that this issue isn't a priority. It's been almost 2 months since I've received the last meaningful status update. Even if they need to vet all responses, I feel they could do a little bit better job at keeping us all in the loop.

I guess I'm not one to simply hope problems get fixed.

Hey guys.

If you're interested in a resolution to this problem. Please show your support for its corresponding Ask Al thread.

http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=515791

I'm not exactly sure what the criteria is for getting it promoted to the official poll, but please post something in the thread. Even if it's just a "+1" to show your support.

Thanks!

Let's do everything we can to ensure this topic makes it into the next Ask Al poll. If you haven't done so already, please post a "+1" or something similar into the Ask Al thread:

http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=515791

When the time comes to select questions for the next poll, I'd like to make sure our view/post counts are representative of how we all feel about this issue.

"Ask Al" may be our best hope for a resolution.

Please post. It'll only take a few seconds.

Thanks again!

Let’s try to keep the ask Al experience positive for Al and his team. Otherwise it too will be shut down by the lawyers.

We have a very good thing here. Don’t frak it up.

Thanks to everyone who has already shown support for this topic on the Ask Al thread.

http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=515791

If you haven't done so already, please post a "+1" or something similar into the thread.

I believe getting this question into the Camaro team's hands will be a step closer to a solution. They already have the details of the launch problem. I'm confident they know how to fix it. Now let's show Al and his team this issue is a priority for the Camaro community.

Thanks guys!

ZL1 Bog issue

Any updates to this? Recommendations? Very disappointing.

No. Sorry. The Ask Al is the best thing we have going at the moment.

ZL1 Bog at launch

I was reading that the ZL1 1LE is having the same issues. I did go to AL's page and +1. I hope this gets resolved. Isn't there a petition page we can go to on-line?

In case anyone missed this, Al posted on the ZL1 Exclusive Facebook page that he is now the proud owner of a new ZL1 1LE. If it's any consolation, He'll now be able to experience the "bog" issue firsthand.

It'll be garaged prob like the 500 other cars he has with less than 1000 miles on them (maybe...probably...)
