They'll get #230 fixed up, Who knows when you get it back you might be real happy. Good luck with it Scott

I sure hope so. I'm glad they're finally working on a solution. This process has taken a while to get to this point. Hopefully you will find out what's going on next week.

OMG! THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! Can someone please tell me what the heck is going on??? 305 HP at the rear wheels, HOLY COW! What the heck is the big mystery with these cars? It’s like a conspiracy at GM, the dealers are saying, at first, nothing is wrong because all the codes are fine. Then you bring it in for a 2nd time with a stop watch, a dyno sheet, quarter mile slip or you make the dealer race you with a 6 banger LT and the LT wins, so the dealer starts to listing to you and admit something is wrong. Then the GM techs lie (in my case) and say the car is running fine running 5.5 to 5.0 0 to 60 which is absolute B.S. and refuse to do anything at all. There are no complaints about the LS3, but major complaints about the L99. I am told that GM is getting dozens of calls daily around the country about the L99’s running slow. How hard can this be to figure out???? The car shifts like a girl and has the torque of a Honda…. Maybe. Is this car detuned so much because the transmissions are going to blow up if you put any horsepower behind it??? If you remember the 85 Corvette, which I was the proud owner of off the showroom floor. Blew 4 transmissions in 17 thousand miles, if you can remember when GM first came out with that transmission (700R) they had major problems with it, plastic gears I guess. I assure you my opinion is qualified, the cars that I have owned: That Matter:
68 Firebird
69 Camaro
69 GTO
70 Camaro
68 Firebird Race Car 454 CID
74 Front engine Dragster
73 Corvette 454
78 Trans Am (Track Champion 83 and 85 Las Vegas speedrome)
85 Corvette
91 Corvette
92 Corvette LT1
2001 Corvette
2004 Corvette Z06
2004 Mustang Mach 1 (sorry I strayed, nothing to buy at GM)
2005 GTO
2010 Camaro (slug)

Many owners have spent a lot of money on a performance car, there is something wrong with a great number of them without question. GM Please correct the problem NOW! We did not buy them to have our ass’s kicked by lowly Mustang GT’s and Honda’s! This car was advertised to be quicker than the 2005 GTO that I traded to get this car and it is a far cry from it!

We want you to be successful, out of bankruptcy and thriving for a very long time! PLEASE DELIVER WHAT YOU ADVERTISED AND PROMISED!

Good luck on the l99, sorry to hear so many issues.

If you had the faith to order a car you have never driven, or even sat in then continue to have that faith in the fact they will get it right.


Chevy Love!

We are at a standstill. They say is is running fine. I am still getting beat by Mustang GT's and doing 0 to 60 in 6 seconds. My next step is to get a dyno at MY EXPENSE. And an attorney if I cannot get resolution. By the time I do that I may as well drop a new engine in it. I lose GM wins.

I would wait and see what they say about my car. There may be an issue and the put out a fix that will take care of the slow cars. Don't jump the gun yet. Also use Google and find out what Florida's Lemon Law says. I know I have 1 year from purchase on a car.

But I know they read these baords and see there is an issue and are probably trying to get a fix.

HI Scott,

I have my ass up because they said the car was OK, that is saying I dont know anything. If they admit that there is a problem and are trying to fix it I am a very happy camper, but when they say the car is running fine, they are lying, I know power. That is what I am upset about.

I have sold the car and have another coming in within 2 weeks. I will be test driving the car with a stopwatch before I except it.

I went thru the same crap in 1998.I had a 5.9 Jeep GC. Pulled my hair out for 6 months with all the dealers telling me everything was fine. I sold it after 6 months and took the loss and got another new one that was just fine. I hated the fact that Jeep was pissing on my leg and telling me it was raining.

Before I would sell if for a loss I would just go get it tuned. But I really think GM is going to fix it, I am working with Fbodfather and John F. at GM on this and they are interested in whats up with the car and other L99's.

Yes, I am done pushing a clutch in. I have a solution. Offer the LS3 engine with a gas guzzler tax. I would go for that one.
