Where's the power?

It's probably out of washer fluid...

Oh and that "gray area" is called gears which is why the auto is faster to 60 stock and the manual quicker to the 1/4... But this is all spec power, each engine is different. I stock dyno'd at 342 at the wheels, seen stock ls3's same and lower and higher so luck of the draw I suppose. You can not build 100,000 motors and have them all turn out identical.

The same goes for dynos. Lots of variants there, which give a wider range of results, but that variance is not as wide as the much smaller differences you get between engines in production.

As for the OP, I dont and never had the problem close to what your experiencing. My LS3 is like a scalded dog and shreds tires at an uncomfortable rate with only occasional spirited driving. Sounds like you're missing out! Perhaps you should take it to the dealer and let them give it a look? I hope you get it rectified.

This thread can't be serious I have a V6 auto and I just step on the gas peddle and it'll break loose....are you sure your mashing the gas and not the break

My LS3 breaks loose all the time. You should have it checked out if you feel it's an issue.

I just ordered 2 quarts of the blinker fluid, and a left handed screwdriver to get the cap off. At 34.99 it isn't cheap, but necessary. I tried to make my own, but just couldnt figure it out. I'm still trying to chase down a filter, but they are backordered through April 1st. Anything else I need for this mod?

I'm thinking its the fuel. The first two fill ups I was getting 18 mpg avg, and it didn't feel sluggish at all. Last fill up it has jumped to almost 20. I have not been driving any different. The only change is the fuel. I will say, this AM the front has rolled through, the temps were in the mid 50's, the humidity was way down, and she did seem to wanna run.

To turn traction control off, its still the same, right? Hold the button down till both lights come on. Its been that way on all the other vehicles i have had from trucks to cars.....

Come on dude you are making me upset. Ashen Gray Camaro's come with an additional 75 HP from the factory. There is no way your not breaking them loose. It happens on accident/purpose 90% of the time.

on top of the 75 for the agm, i heard if i get some of those plastic fender vents from auto zone, each one is worth 5 rwhp. How many can i stick down the sides? 40? 50? That's 200-250 rwhp and no tune is needed.

i know what everybody claims these cars can do, and the other one I test drove could do it. I guess I'm gonna have to go find me a place to go play around and push it.

I agree 100% I was very Disappointed at first. Just intake and Exhaust Makes a big difference. And I don't know about everyone else but mine didn't really feel like it was broken in until about 3500 miles
