+1

You can also have Skip Shift tuned out, which was done by dynosteve when I had him do my tune for my CAI and PTB. The tune was worth every penny!!!!

Yesterday i found out by looking a someones elses int pictures that there is a power outlet next to the "traction control" button. I'd never even touched this "plate" before as there is nothing on it saying its other than a blank.

...Your talking about the skip shift eliminator.... But have you gotten a taste of hill start assist!!?? Damn thatt is irritating!!! It got me the first (and only) time i was on a serious hill, i was like WTF??? Whats wrong with this stupid car!! Ended up excusing myself to car... Lol!!

Didnt try the launch either. Im just at 650 miles so still pampering it....... A bit.

HELLsx.

Ps, glad to see your looking at pressurising the thing!! Im considering it too!! Ill be following if you do!

How do you do it. I didn't know I had launch control either.

Don't believe we do. Believe ZL1's have it, but not 1LE's.

We have launch control. Never used it, but its there.

Camaro Dude · 07-25-2017, 07:50 PM

It's all in the gravy.

MSG in it tastes best, but I still refuse to ingest it.

It's all in your taste, wants, needs, and desires.

All Camaro SS w/ LS3 have it. From the owners manual, if you want to attempt it:

LAUNCH CONTROL (V8 WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS EXCEPT for Z/28)

A LAUNCH CONTROL FEATURE IS AVAILABLE, WITHIN COMPETITIVE DRIVING MODE OR PTM, ON VEHICLES WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION TO ALLOW THE DRIVER TO ACHIEVE HIGH LEVELS OF VEHICLE ACCELERATION IN A STRAIGHT LINE.

LAUNCH CONTROL IS A FORM OF TRACTION CONTROL THAT MANAGES TIRE SPIN WHILE LAUNCHING THE VEHICLE.

THIS FEATURE IS INTENDED FOR USE DURING CLOSED COURSE RACE EVENTS WHERE CONSISTENT ZERO TO SIXTY AND QUARTER MILE TIMES ARE DESIRABLE.

LAUNCH CONTROL IS ONLY AVAILABLE WHEN THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA ARE MET:

• COMPETITIVE DRIVING MODE IS SELECTED OR ANY OF THE PTM MODES ARE SELECTED.

• THE VEHICLE IS NOT MOVING.

• THE STEERING WHEEL IS POINTING STRAIGHT.

• THE CLUTCH IS PRESSED AND THE VEHICLE IS IN 1 (FIRST) GEAR.

• THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS RAPIDLY APPLIED TO WIDE OPEN THROTTLE.

THE LAUNCH CONTROL FEATURE WILL INITIALLY LIMIT ENGINE SPEED AS THE DRIVER RAPIDLY APPLIES THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO WIDE OPEN THROTTLE. A SMOOTH, QUICK RELEASE OF THE CLUTCH, WHILE MAINTAINING THE FULLY PRESSED ACCELERATOR PEDAL, WILL MANAGE WHEEL SLIP.

AFTER THE VEHICLE IS LAUNCHED, THE SYSTEM CONTINUES IN COMPETITIVE DRIVING MODE.

Of course it is your best interest to pay $995 for dual mode exhaust and then disable it.

Any kid could pull the mufflers and put in straight pipe for $50.

Yes.

But allow me to paint you a picture.

OEM exhaust.......you get pulled over one dark murky night...fast forward to where you pull out NPP code sheet from glove Box, and you tell the cop, I guess Chevrolet should get ticketed, and both of you begin to chuckle

The End.

Conclusion in said case scenario above:

Kid with Straight Pipe: FAIL

Dude with OEM Exhaust: Priceless....er sorry I meant $995.

markgws6 · 07-26-2017, 06:12 PM

The NPP is music (with no other mods like headers and with cats deleted or high-flow cats it is just louder music). Stock, it's not too loud (will pass on Laguna Seca's 92db sound limit), and sounds better than a $1500 Corsa exhaust IMHO. I love the complements I get on my exhaust and minds blown when I tell em it's stock.

1LEwonton · 07-26-2017, 08:55 PM

I did Kooks LT's with HF cats, Roto-Fab CAI and a tune. Couldn't be happier with the power gains and of course the sound. Just ordered a cam last night actually! Haha

jrhagen · 07-26-2017, 10:30 PM

Lots of gas, meth and tires.

jrhagen · 07-26-2017, 10:33 PM

And every time you start the engine, hold down the traction control button for 7-10 seconds.
