Feb 2018 - Ask Al Poll #4

A couple of repeat candidates, but they still exhibit the most interest.

Please keep the new questions coming...


1. A8 Transmission Shudder

http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=510888

It seems like there has been...several bulletins regarding replacement of the TC/"triple flush" of the transmission fluid to fix a shudder that occurs at certain RPMs/speeds. Most troubling is that a number of individuals have stated that they have had multiple torque converters installed only to have the shudder return (as well lots of reports of shudder returning after triple flush)….Can you please shed some light on what's going with our cars and the A8s and whether there is any permanent fix to the issue?

2. Hugger Orange, Orange Crush

http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=520986

Hi Al and Team, Can you expand on your Hagerty.com quote and give additional insight to the decision making process over your time as as Chief concerning Hugger orange? ...Obviously there is more to it and now this tribute color seems to be the culmination of those discussions. I'd like to hear more.

3. ZL1 1LE Nurburgring Chassis Settings

http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=508671

Can you please enlighten your fellow ZL1 1LE Enthusiasts, Drivers and Mechanics on what final adjustments and setting were made to the car to achieve the Nürburgring Lap.

Hugger Orange??...Really?...lol....Trying to find out why they built non-reclining seats seemed like it had more interest....

Owners are modifying their own factory seats a lot more than they are running out and painting their cars orange....sheesh....whatever....

The poll should change to just two serious questions instead three with one being an irrelevant soft-ball question...

I voted for the ring settings. You’re welcome Pinhead, Mr. Wyndam and others I’ve argued with about it being nothing more than “cool to know” :p

We just hit them with a “hey our Trans has problems” question they were kind enough to answer, and I’m sure they don’t want to hear constant complaints. The paint color, meh, guess I’d rather hear them discuss slaying the ring!

The ring question is quite interesting but I don't think anybody in this forum will ever have the pleasure of riding the green hell. This setting is specifically for the ring only.
Therefore the answer will be interesting but
not very helpful for other racetracks.
just my 2 cents

Thanks for the criticism.

We can certainly get the seat question in on poll #5

Ya. Weird. It was posted a week ago and made the poll.
A few questions have been floating around for months.

It wouldn't be there if they didn't want to answer it.

Does it really matter?
Everyone wanted A8 shutter and Launch Bog... You got one and now you have your chance to get the second one too, which will no doubt win the poll.

How about no more poll repeats so we can push these so called "floating around for months" questions you mention. Just do one shot...done. Would folks been happy to see A8 shutter gone for good. I don't think so.

Yes, Mike, you are right....But as long as these things take to drag out, having a poll simply as a formality is a huge waste of time and delays the other "not as popular" topics from ever being answered...

Absolutely the Shudder was a shoe-in to win....why did it take weeks and weeks to even have another poll with an obvious winner?....If it is that easy, and it seems to be, which topic will win the following poll, why even have it?.....However, the poll does highlight which other topics are on the horizon.......and Hugger Orange ain't one of them,...So yes, to some degree, it does matter.

Mike - Thank you for managing this.

It would be wrong to not allow poll repeats. Only one topic can win at a time. If there is strong enough interest in a topic to push it forward the next time it should have an opportunity. IIRC, the A8 had ~150 votes last time. A8 lost, we accepted that without whining and are running again

I'm sorry it's dragging out for you... but it seems you've answered your own question on why we have polls (nice gauge of intertest). If Hugger doesn't get votes you won't see it again (simple). The ring setup continues to have interest but just not enough to win. We've also got real jobs that get in the way along with, Camaro Fest planning and communications back and forth on these. Please have a little patience.

You're welcome. We did discuss this and you're right. Down the line if we have weak questions and the Ring question still isn't answered we may throw it in and get it answered. Feel free to list 3 for the next poll and we will definitely take that under advisement. Maybe a poll choice discussion thread is in order.

I'm not surprised that this "ask Al" process is taking a few cycles to "settle down".

This one's become something of a toss-up for me.
