You see the cars they had there?

The were driving them, it obviously wasn't just a "talk" session.

That IS part of what those meeting were about.

nice to see Jason Debler was there... he runs a great camaro podcast for years at camaroz28.com. Listened on and off for years, him and Chris Frezza are big F-body/GM fans...truly hardcore. Hats off to him for being so plugged in, still, after all these years.

A+

VERY cool, I want on this panel!!

Although C5 is about as close as most of us will ever get... Less hands-on, but the FBodfather does listen to what we have to say

What is meant is that these meetings aren't exactly engineering tests, they're more for guiding the direction that the Camaro should go and seeing if the car feels like a Camaro should. Things like ... should there be a nav system? How do you like the ride? What should be done with the exhaust note? Hounds-tooth seats or not? I'm sure some of the disciples or Fbodfather can give an even better depiction of what their role is.

its funny that the only black ppl in the group (all 2) were not wearing white shirts...just saying

Blue Maro Demon · 09-09-2010, 08:36 AM

Can I say TWO BIG THUMBS UP for the lady that suggessted a KILLER SHADE OF BLUE! This is really really needed we need another light blue color for this awesome car! The Aqua Blue Metallic I own was good enough for the job but it just wasnt given enough time and was represented wrong in early pictures and people thought it was a teal color but it wasn't. But I may get another new Camaro in another 3 years or when the 6th gen comes out and I would like for a medium to lighter blue to be an option the Imperial Blue is alright but its too dark almost black in some pics.

I really hope GM is looking at this issue.. A majority of V6 M6 owners are having this issue. It breaks my heart everytime I hear that crunch from 1st to 2nd.

I had a survey to fill out asking if I would be willing to be on a focus group. I answered that I would be glad to take part in one.

I wonder if I would be disqualified, as my dad is retired from GM, and my Father in law worked at the Milford Proving grounds?

A crunch from 1st to 2nd? I haven't noticed this. The other day I had a hard time shifting into first from reverse (I park the car with it in reverse). Just had to move to the neutral gate and go slow from there.

Haven't noticed that since.

GEEo · 09-09-2010, 09:18 AM

Nice

Consider yourself lucky. Many of us M6 V6ers are having issues. It happens during a quick shift from 1st to 2nd usually above 5k rpm.
