Just saying. Its the same as older vehicles' "MAX" setting.

The new Camaro has a knob for the fan setting and a separate button for recirc and A/C, so in this case if you just push the recirc button, with the fan turned off, it shuts off the vent from the outside air, which is why you feel air in the first place, cuz you're moving. Yea I know some cars are funky, but this trick has always worked for me. I dunno about the 4th gen though since the MAX button will turn the air on.

I have noticed this is a chevy thing. Every chevy car I have been in has this problem. I haven't noticed it in other cars. You can fix this in the camaro by hitting the recirculation button on the dial even when the AC is off.

There's always air in the ducting, and when the car sets, that air will get warm (or get HOT if you're in Texas during August!!).

So... when you start the car the (fresh air) ventilation system will have to push that air out first, and it may take a while for it to cool off ('til it circulates sufficiently).

In the winter you should have the opposite problem.

It's typically hotter in the summer, yes, especially when the car sits, but sometimes even on a cold night the air will be warm because the air comes through the vents and gets warmed by the engine since the system isn't actually turned on.
