Keep in mind we do know that not all V8 M6 cars will have the problem. So it's reasonable to get good cars to buyers instead of making everyone wait.

Again this is my opinion. Nothing more.

Your guess is closer to fact than you may think.

Hahahaha That was funny...

Actually a lot of people don't know that most Mexicans don't even celebrate Cinco de mayo. It's only celebrated in one tiny part in Mexico...It's actually a bigger holiday/excuse to get drunk in the U.S. than it is in Mexico hahaha
Their big celebration is September 16th so that's actually the week that we would need to watch out hahaha jk

Whatever the issue is I really do hope it was only one batch as my order is an SS manual and I am very troubled by this news...I guess it's good like some people have been saying that GM is at least doing something about it instead of ignoring it and voiding people's warranties later. Of course, nowadays with big-brother oversight they kind of have to lol

Wow, that make me dizzy just looking at it

It's pretty clear what needs to be done now. ALL m6 SSs held in QC (mine included) need immediate testing of the output shaft. Acording to my calculations testing the launch control 2....maybe 3 times should weed out the bad apples.

On my way to the plant right now to help out.....yeah that's right.....just doin my part.

Ok. I must admit, yesterday and today have been unusually land painfully longer and I can't keep from coming here to read the latest "speculations" concerning the tranny issue that got me feeling down a bit. So, for lunch, I decided to go for a drive to take my mind off this and enjoy my other car.

On the side of the road was a sign that reads "Tough Times Got You Down? Call Jesus for Help" 1-800-555-5500.

Ok, I said, what the heck, I dialed the number and a man answered in a thick Mexican accent: "Hello, Jesus (HESUS) Discount Landscapin', this is HESUS speakin, can I help you?"

So does that mean that anyone who ordered a Camaro with Auto transmission will get them sooner?

I can understand the wait sucks, and believe when I say that just because I didn't (couldn't) order the first day, I am as eager as any one here; possibly more. This is the first time in 12 years I haven't had a Camaro in my driveway. Just try to keep in mind GM (and Camaro Team) want to get you, and us, a car that will exceed our expectations. That's a tall order too

yea ofcourse i want them to deliver me a good car and i respect the fact they are holding them to make sure they are right...but yea it still sucks lol

i just really hope they check them, fix them, send them out ASAP...but for some reason i feel like they are gonna be there for atleast 3 weeks...that feeling is just based off my luck...BUT wuteva, when it comes it comes...i dont want any other car except the GTR if i could afford it always wanted a camaro but when the 2002 was made i couldnt afford to get it and i thought my chance to own a camaro was gone forever...until now! so i guess i should just be grateful for that

and for those people that are thinking or gonna say i shoulda just got a 4th gen when i could have afforded it or an older 1 back then...i always wanted a NEW camaro!

What's up GM ?

With the SS you get 2 options :

Slow Car (a6)

or

No Car (m6)

compliments of camaropete

Stare at this for 10 minutes

You will either have a melt down or for an equal amout of time you will have forgotten about m6 issues.
