200 mile's and only one complaint - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

You think its sweet now, what until it hits about 1000 miles. Thats when the ecu gets adjusted to the conditions and it starts to wake up. My 1SS 6M felt like it suddenly had an extra 60 horses.

I didn't have a complaint about indexing until recently. I've had to 'reset' it three times now in one week and it's the first time that I've had to do this. Just like getting used to the clutch after not driving a stick for quite a few years, have to get used to it

So you really don't have any issues. Just feel.

I felt the same way first time I opened the door on a 5th gen. The whole window rattles back and forth everytime I open the door. Wish it was tighter like other window indexing cars I've exp.

It also makes a funny squeking sound where the glass meets the rubber when I close the door, like I need to lube the rubber or something.

I work in SF but live in the burbs (Fremont to be exact) and im afraid to drive my little Celica to the city!!! This one time in China town some guy rested his crap on my car to take a break!

@Puttnutt24 thats a nice freaking shine! what do you use on the car?

I take the big main roads 95% of the time so its never too bad. I havent even really come close to getting into an accident. Half of my commute is down the embarcadero as well, so its pretty open. If anybody ever rests anything on my car, I will get out and remove it myself.

It's not that bad!

I love the indexing. Liked it the first time I saw it on the Mustang when they brought it out a few years ago.

Helps equalize air pressure inside and outside when closingthe door.

Haven't had any problems with mine whatsoever.

At that time I had over 1500 miles on my SS. The only thing I don't like about mine is the annoying seat belt strap on the seat that keeps popping open. Otherwise my Camaro is perfect.

X2 on the seat belt. Very Annoying when it comes out of the seat loop.

Its simple. Back in 2005, they opened the carpool HOV lanes up to people that had hybrids in order to spur the sale and use of more fuel efficient cars. The hybrid carpool sticker program was such a huge success that DMV ran out after the initial 50,000. Then the quota was moved to 75,000 and that too was filled.

Now, I cannot drive along Hwy85 without seeing several solo drivers in the carpool

I know, I know, just jealous I'm not using the lane with them.

wait til it freezes outside, try closing the door afer that

I thought i almost shattered my brothers stang's window once...
The window indexing is a neat feature, gets rid of the ugly frame, just has some drawbacks but not that would matter if your Camaro sleeps all winter
