I wasn't aware of this, stumbled upon it "Tap Start" - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

gud feature.. but is it gonna mess up the starter or any other parts in the long run???

No fears off messing up the starter, unlike the cars of old where if you held the key too long or turned the key again after the car was started you would grind things up a bit.

This is basically a push button start using a key. You turn the key slightly, the computer then sends the electrical impulse to the starter and bam! You are off to the races.

Its like saying "wow, I have a high AND a low speed wiper pulse. If I switch from high to low, will it do damage"?

I guess because i'm a GM tech, i'm too used to seeing this technology first for a while. I'm not used to people catching up now maybe?

On my wife's EX35, as long as I have the fob in my pocket, or hers is in her purse, the car will start with the push of a button on the dash; Same way with the door locks.

Just walk upto the car, push a button on the handle, the door(s) unlock. Sit down, foot on the brake, push the 'Start' button, and the car starts. It also senses who's driving, and adjusts the seat, mirrors, and even radio favorites. Great feature!

I was hoping it would be part of the C&C package with the Camaro.

Thats how it is on the vette's, now every time I go to drive another car I try to push in the clutch and put my finger on the dash thinking its going to start
