Gates open at 6:00, racing at 6:30 takes about an hour to get there...

It seems the torque converter is finally going out in War Machine.

Took Nanci on a leaf seeing trip this past weekend and between 25-50 MPH the whole car shakes violently when trying to shift.

There's a GM service bulletin out for this "non-problem" in the V6 cars.

Nice trailer, Dan! I am super jealous.

James, guess you will be looking at the SS's in stock to replace war machine now that we know there is a known unknown non-issue with the V6 cars... ( I love it when manufacturers give us excuses to trade cars!! ) Good luck with the repair.

Not all V6 Camaros share that issue. I have thrashed mine for 54,300 miles and zero issues. Must be something they changed with the LS or for the LFX. I would imagine with the 2.92 rear gear they would have to change the torque converter a bit.

James is really hard on his transmissions - he takes them to highway speeds then abruptly pulls over, shows some nice fella his front plate, then takes it back up to highway speeds...

just a bad converter...no biggie

Got good news and bad news. Good my frame/rollcage is done for the 70 Camaro at Art Morrison Enterprises. Bad news it is not scheduled to ship out till Oct 16. Now the fun begins I get to see things start to be put back on the car rather then them being cut off can not wait to here that the truck is at shop unloading the frame/rollcage. I will have to drive over and see it the day it shows up.

What can I say, the Po-po are mesmerized by my Veteran Plates and want a closer look.

Let's just hope Rydell can get her fixed. I don't like watching and feeling my car shake like box spring in an earthquake.
