Zinger is getting a 5th gen
Hey C5, I am getting dangerously close to buying a 5th gen Camaro. I will have a ton of questions during these next few weeks and was hoping the mods and the community would allow this thread to stay so i can keep all of my questions in one thread. I do understand the "search" function would likely answer alot of the questions but this is a forum so lets use it as such
The Camaro I am looking at is a 2010 IOM 2SS LS3...approx 50,000kms. Looks very well taken care of and I believe it to be bone stock. 1. How do I know forsure it has RS package? - I see the emblem on front grill says SS and it is red. I also see a 4pack of small gauges in front of stick. Front headlights seem to show a circle inside them. Is that enough info to confirm it is a SS/RS? 2. Lets say DynoSteve tunes my car after header/cai work, can I still use a throttle controller? I say this as wife may drive from time to time and I would like to be able to throttle her down perse when it is her driving. 3. No matter what wheels I choose to go with are the offsets I read about consistent. I mean, if i went with ZL1 reps or Rohana do i still order the stock offsets? I am not sure if I being clear here..sorry. Thats it for now, thanks for playing C5. B |

1.
Yes it seems as though it's a 2SS/RS Halo headlights, red SS emblems, darker tail lamps are all sign of an RS package. 4 gauge cluster, premium sound and leather interior tells you it's a 2SS |

Did MY 2010's come with the backup sensor or did they first appear on late build 2010's and after? What about the under hood GM Performance badging?

Yeah, the IOM i love, but, not with the stock wheels so that will be more money. But this care seems wicked clean and well looked after.
Also, I want to acknowledge that I understand all things being equal getting a 12 or 13 would be best but this 10 is in my budget and I cannot keep waiting and saving. |

you talking about the vitesse throttle controller? that has nothing to do with your tune... it just manipulates the accelerator pedal signal. you can add/remove it and it doesn't affect the tune. So yes, you can use it.

1. Yes sounds like RS package - either that or a clone with aftermarket parts. Best way to tell would be to find the build sheet under the carpet in the truck (that's where mine is on a 2015)
2. No idea - goodluck bro lol 3. I just recently ordered wheels and had this same question. I worked with three Camaro5 sponsors and all of them were amazing at helping me order the perfect offset with the perfect hub spacer, if needed. I highly recommend checking out PKautodesign, n4sw.com, and extremewheels and their Camaro5 salesman Mike Betts. Goodluck! |

The tune just compliments the Throttle Controller and visa-versa.

Imo, the only things this car will need cosmetically for my taste is wheels (thinking rohana or zl/1le style), front splitter maybe and rear spoiler - black, black, and black. Then it is done looks wise for me.
