How will Chevy answer this from Ford? - Page 6 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

How will Chevy answer this from Ford? Im really not that worried about it.I got the car I want and I have it dialed in the way I want it. From a design and manufacturing aspect, if you are not moving forward trying to make improvments on the product you are standing still. GM, Dodge and Ford will keep developing and improving on thier products and if all goes well the rivalry will still be strong.

This is nice but not new. The Challengers have it also. Great if you live on a private road and play with yourself alot...Sorry my 1/4mile times are done at a track with real lights and real drivers.

No it's not. It's only voided if they can prove that the problem was caused by you taking the car to the track

And that'll be a fight you think you can win? LOL!

I wish the Camaro came with features like that. Would love to have the 0-60 timer so I can learn how to perfectly launch my car

I think Ford is going to do really well with the new GT500.
And thanks for the info, always wondered why it went from Cobra to GT500. Now I know. Cool info although I think I like the Cobra name a bit better

are you up yet? lol

Yeah...but that's like comparing a coffee maker to a cappuccino machine. GT500 suspension is old-tech with basically what amounts to an on/off switch toggling between two predetermined damper settings. It'll work -- and it may help...but if I were PsychoRS, I'd still be pretty much asleep.

Why does everyone automatically think GM HAS to address it? Give me an Aeroforce gauge and I can do the same thing, whoopie.

lol at all the ford fanboys having to come over here to defend the little bit of pride left

Hummmm, in response to Ford's trinkets, I am going to install a DVD player screen, set up my Tom Tom Navigator while talking on my Droid and texting on my Iphone. OMG, talk about driving while distracted! What ever happened to the old...drunk driving? Is that in the past?

Threads were merged...that's how Camaro5 has responded to Ford's new little feature.

No more dangerous than looking at the HVAC controls to turn on the defroster or adjust the heat.

They can be...but I look, as I'm sure many, many, many others do without realizing on occasion.

But you're right -- and no information those gauges show are "necessary". Certainly not while driving down the highway, and probably not even while racing. Several of them are redundant - accessible in the DIC or HUD.

you have a lot more Camaro guys in Mustang forums but I wouldn't say they're there defending the little pride they have left.

I see it as they are there to share the car hobby and/or correct bad information being said about the Camaros.

Their Lopey Idle setting sounds cool.
