I don't want to see you waste your warranty man. You already have told me a few times you should of listened to me about the Camaro stuff. Don't jump the gun and mess up the warranty yet.

I won't. At least not yet. I'll wait for your data to come back. After that, if we're still at no resolution, I'm getting it tuned and hold on to this car til the end of the world. Then maybe ...... Ford?..........

I took mine to the dealer and they are performing tests on it. When I spoke to them yesterday, they asked me what type of gas that I used. My rep said that they were doing all types of 0 to 60 tests with traction control on, off etc. I said "so I'm NOT on drugs?!” She said “no you’re not on drugs”, I said “so there is something wrong with the car” she said “Yes, there is something wrong with the car”. I could not have been more happy! When I dropped the car off I included a copy of the brochure page of the Camaro that shows the 0 to 60 time advertised at 4.7 seconds and a stop watch. I also printed all the blogs regarding this issue from this blog and others. Take your dyno results as well. Scott says “Once at the dealership, we need your dealer to initiate a Technical Assistance Case through Launch Brand Quality process. So take it back to the dealer and make them keep it until they do something about it. My car has been at the dealer for 9 days now.

Bet you didn't expect all this when you ordered it.

However minor the issue, it is NOT YOUR responsibility to fix it.

I mean, people saying "oh, yea the A/F is a little wonky, but we can just tune it and its all better!" or "oh, go get it dyno tuned it will be fine!"

These are NOT solutions, they are workarounds! and unfortunately one thing they don't work around is you not being able to keep your warranty on the power train if you get it tuned.

Talk to your dealer, explain that something is not right, ask then to contact GM, let them know others are having a similar problem.

If your dealer doesn't believe you or care, which might be the case, contact a different dealer.

At the very least, do as Scott said and wait until they get some data off his computer, and see if there is some kind of issue. As well, wait for rpepka to find a solution for his car so as to see if it might be applicable to your case as well.

"Cooler heads prevail" Don't do anything rash, don't do anything that cant be undone, NOT until you have ALL the information

My guy just said "No man, it feels like a beast". WOW, what incredible diagnostic prowess.

You mention 0-60 times so if you have measured that and they are off, something is up. Here is what we know you can do, change air filters .. that will NOT void the warrenty. If that doesn't resolve the issue, I'd have the dealer check it out .. maybe they will find something and all will be well.

You will get this issue resolved (I know that doesn't help the situation now), but if you had initially planned to not do anything that could possibly void your warrenty, stick to that as in the long run it will make you feel better! You will have lots of support on whatever decision you make and I hope it gets resolved for you.

:( This sucks.

93, and I get it wherever I am when I need it.

Guys, I'm not trying to sell him a tune here, he is 5 or 6 states away, so I'm sure he is not going to drive the car all the way to PA. I'm just adding in expert opinion to the situation to help add as much information as possible to everyone's understanding of what is going on with these cars as I hate to see anyone dissapointed with their new machine

I apreciate the help. Really. I'll be there in the morning. No I won't.
