How often do you get on it? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

idk about you guys, but sometimes when i drive, i just have the itch to mash and go.

every morning, i drive super slow to work...speed limit slow. never even build a pound of boost.

but the ride home is ALWAYS a different story. every on-ramp when i'm merging it's just pedal to the floor and gone.

<-- lol at that

but i know people who have the same car as me, or more powerful cars that say they get on it like once a week.

so my question is, how often do have the heavy right foot??

Not often, SS stays in the garage most of the time, and STi is driven for mostly economy purpose for the commute. Not to say that I don't do the occasional pull, but mostly just to the speed limit or 5 over on an on ramp. Drive home always takes less time though!

mine would, lol but there's always more traffic on the way home. 5:00 is a terrible time to get off!

Like you, im calm during morning commute about 7 mph over speed limit... Cooler temps, its dark out, deer are active. ETC....
coming home.... ha ha ha...... I feel like im checking 0-60 times after every stop.

I try and go for a little ride every night in one of my cars. I always make it a point to get on it at least once before getting back home. The Redline and the Z have been a blast the last few nights. I've been able to get 23psi out of the Redline and the Z has been crazy from a 35-40 roll.

LNF power!!! i'm only hitting 19.9psi at the highest right now according to my RPD (thing in my avatar) but my tuner is upping in my next revision. and the ZL1....if only i could compare my stories to that. lol. i can't compete.

Im making pretty good power and my car sees redline like 30 times a day lol 700 rwhp is fun on the street. Granted its only when im not in traffic and when its just me alone. I couldnt live with myself if my actions killed someone. I only play around when its just ME around, people ask me for rides and i wont even get on it if they are in the car. I dont want blood on my hands.

I'll tell you what, that little Redline is a blast to drive. GM did an awesome job with that car. It's like driving a high performance go kart. With the 3:73 posi rear end along with IRS and coil overs from the factory the cars handles like a little Vette. It will smoke my SS off the line, and probably take it in the 1/8 mile no problems.

GM bring back the Sky !!!

I had sent a Email to GM to continue the Sky as a Chevy and rename it Stingray... Never got an answer:(

I have a little fun on the on ramps and coming out of the toll gates. It's just too much fun feeling the power several times to and from work.
