New car first gear problem? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I just bought a 2010 camaro 2ss with 40k miles on it in amazing condition and I noticed that when I start it up and start driving it if I gun it in first gear I get a "rubber band" effect where the car feels like it's not engaging the engine, but it only happens when I first start the car up and begin driving. Is it possible I'm just not letting the engine warm up enough before I give it that much throttle?
