Is it just me or did your car come alive @ 300 miles? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Somewhere around 300 miles'ish my car just seemed to come alive. More torque, crisp shifting and where the car gave me "shift denied" readouts on downshifts previously now it automatically gives the throttle a quick shot then downshifts when using the paddles, almost like I would on a manual trans. It now has 600+ miles and has really come alive.

I'm wondering if the computer had a progam that detuned it for the first few hundred miles?

I can definitely tell a difference in the way it runs. I'm at 500 miles now.

It's a learning computer.

mine came alive at exactly 543 miles, It was in the process of bustin a new big body bmw. My wife said ooooh that felt good. I said what? She said all that jerking and chirping. She noticed it got stronger, so did the bmw that was about 3 cars back at that point.

Quickdraw how did you run the car up till that point, when it came.

Rockytophummer · 07-07-2009, 07:14 PM

I noticed a difference at about 400miles but it was now were near the differnce at bought 1000 miles!! I hope at around 1500 miles maybe she come even more alive. Rightafter had 1000 miles was taking 2 of my buddies for a ride and they said stomp it and I did. It was still in reg. Mode & she broke loose and started sliding to right and once she grabbed she just took off. Next thing I know I look down and already at 105mph! I let of my buddy said that's good for going 75mph. Buddy in back said you way off. We were at 105 it just such a smooth ride and don't feel like your going that fast. I think that is what alot of people who think there car is slows problem is because this is by far smoothest sports car I've ever drove or rode in. Beats Vettes mustanges and challengers and older camaros. Well the newest vette I've rode in was 96 so that's what I'm comparing it to. Newer ones may ride better. But I'm happy with my power especially each time she gets more and more friskier!

I've saw that in other posts. I'm not all that computer savy. So how does that work if that's actually real? I'm not dissagreeing with you Im just curious to how this works.

9c1ny · 07-07-2009, 07:26 PM

it learns as it breaks in, I noticed mine wouldnt hold the gear in manual mode past 4k until I had a few hundred miles on the car, I would say it starts to come to life around 500 miles or so

Quickdraw have you seen any yellows like ours with silver strpies if so good or bad just an opinion, imy stripes are not in yet on backorder

mfr1950 · 07-07-2009, 07:38 PM

I noticed after about 600 miles the throttle response was a lot sharper,maybe the engine is getting "run in""..

It better be a REMEMBERING computer as well.

Just today I noticed the same thing today - my LT RS "woke-up" to a noticeable degree and it was much more assertive with my cautious driving during the break-in. It would be interesting if the engine control logic tones down the performance during the first few hundred miles. Seems that way based on the comments in this thread.

Vash · 07-07-2009, 09:20 PM

No ..

It's called break-in. Check the threadz on the subject.
