That camaro isn't true.
Tahseen, The 4door camaro was a nice little car that went along the name of Pontiac G8. I really wanted one when i graduated college, I found a Pontiac G8 GT GXP new that was 45K or something and the dealer wanted 30K for it just to get it off the lot because his dealership was closing. I knew Pontiac was going under and I was scared no one would give warranty at that point. It wasn't until later that I realized any Chevy dealer could have taken care of me, but it was too late. Oh well. I'd like to look for a G8 when the Accord dies. The new SS looks nice if the Accord can hold together till my camaro payments are over.

It's not like a voided engine warranty is going to have an affect on the bumper-to-bumper. You also make a good point about dealership prices, Jay. I can't believe the insane amount of markup they put on such simple tasks. If one just installed a few pieces themselves, they'd save the amount of labor and part markup for theoretical voided warranty work in the future. However, (correct me if I'm mistaken, Brendan) Brendan's concern may have more to do with his previous experience with the Genesis.

Have you gotten the S3 to connect to the radio by USB to allow the car to index the music you have stored in the SD card? My S3 is not able to be seen in the 2012 Camaro or Cruise over USB. By Bluetooth it is seen, but the sound of streaming music over Bluetooth is not acceptable to me... satellite radio sounds a hundred times better and many complain that it is terrible.

Really, my parents have always been an advocate for warranties, so when i graduated college I didn't really approve of the whole modding market (probably out of lack of understanding) so when i was concerned that any "stock' issues with the car could cost me money, I immediately bailed. With the genesis...i learned that that concern i had....was real. My Genesis coupe is the reason that I will never buy another Hyundai, and why I will try to make sure no one I know does either. The Genesis coupe was nothing but a bunch of problems. From the very beginning.... 1. Bent Hood from factory that applied to EVERY car 2. Leaking taillights (stock) 3. Fogging head lights because Hyundai can't produce a close system cooling mechanism. 4. ECM failure 5. 2 1/2 transmissions within 600 miles. On that car I began modding it. I had beautiful LED headlights I designed and had done. I designed a set of LED taillights that got me compliments everywhere I went. I put a CAI on it. I put a cat back exhaust on it. When the ECM went bad...they attempted to blame the CAI. When my 2nd transmission went bad (due to poor workmanship at Wright Hyundai who have no idea how to work on a car) with a destroyed 3rd gear syncro (Don't get me into that story, but it confirmed to me that South Korean engineers do not understand simple fluid dynamics at all), they tried to claim i raced it and then pointed to the exhaust as an issue. All of these, without a warranty would have cost me 1000s of dollars due to STOCK problems. So yes, I am very protective of the warranty and the "protection" it brings. I would love to mod the camaro, and although Jamie and Jason point me toward suspension, I prefer the roar of the motor from a set of headers. But I want to remain protected by warranty, so of course I"m going to cover my ass and make sure THR is fine with the changes I make. THR gave me the greenlight on headers being installed myself while being covered by warranty...so my next year project is already in "savings mode" I understand that some of you don't care about your warranty, and thats your own choice. I prefer to have fun, but cover myself at the same time.

Her Genesis was a 2.0T R-Spec. I was going to buy an 18G Turbo with a STS wheel, intercooler, and all of the supporting bullshit, to make it run what? high 12's? Then it would shit its bottom end and puke out a clutch. |
