Jan 2018 - Ask Al Poll #3
A little background on this one:
As you can imagine, in order to make this thread work for all parties, we had to work with the Camaro Team to lay out some basic ground rules that made sense for the purpose of this forum. That said, some of these questions are highly sensitive, and frankly difficult to answer while toeing the company line. (Those are my words) So Mike and I opted to pass over the "iffy" questions last month until we figured out how best to handle it. Obviously, that wasn't a popular move. For that, we apologize, but I hope you can understand why we did it. Since then, we've discussed the popularity of these topics (ZL1 launching and A8) with the Camaro Team to choose the best path forward. They acknowledged that these topics weren't in the realm of what we wanted for the forum (ie. "troubleshooting") but to my personal surprise, they said they wanted to address the issues anyways as best they could for you - as enthusiasts of their product! So we've included both of these in the poll this month...the Camaro Team is ready: it's up to you to choose what to pick. The other two questions are recurring due to popularity, and we have more in the cue (based on popularity) for next month. Thank you for your participation, and enthusiasm as we all work to improve this new method of communicaton. Questions: 1) Explanation of ZL1 Launch Control http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=515791 2) A8 Transmission Shudder Question http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=510888 3) ZL1 1LE Nurburgring Suspension Settings http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=508671 4) Why was the M7 transmission not used in the ZL1/1LE Camaro? http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=517683 As always, the poll will be closed in 7 days, and the winning question will be submitted to the Camaro Team. Any "losing" questions, may be recycled next month. |

Your explanations for everything are appreciated. I haven't experienced #2 myself yet thankfully, but am highly interested in their response if it should be selected.

Wasn’t the popular concern and the ZL1 launch the “bog”, and not the launch settings available?

Unfortunately, having spent a great deal of time reading the manual trans ZL1 issues.... I suspect that this will all come down to just an overdone torque management system that will require a tune/reprogram to correct..

They seem to be entirely separate issues to me. There are widespread complaints about having issues leaving stop signs, spirited starts etc.....not just on an all out drag launch that would benefit from fiddling with the launch control settings for a minute every time you want to drive faster from a stop than granny would.
I considered trading my a10, for a Krypton Green m6 car and the bog issue was a major factor in not doing so. An amazing thorough explanation of the launch control feature would not address the bog concern. |

How do we see who votes for what ( I thought I saw that before) ?
On the same note, I really don’t expect to get a good answer on the A8 TC, that’s proprietary info...running along multiple GM car lines and a heck of alot of vehicles. |
