Have any members had there cars reflashed by your dealer, to my understanding this involved the first 10000 camaros produced

I have a build in the 9000's and I haven't received anything on this. Interesting to see what others will be posting ..

I've had mine flashed (VIN: 9687). It's not a dramatic change (for me at least). By far the biggest advantage is that the clutch no longer sticks half way on hard launches. The launch control is somewhat improved, too. Before the flash, I would get the 'power hop' pretty awful if I used launch control. Now, it is not nearly as violent, but it seems to be a little conservative in the torque management. It will sometimes limit the throttle too much, causing the engine to bog. All things considered, I think it's worth having done.

yeah, i don't think you get notified about it the reflashes, but when you take it in for any reason the just do it. (unless you make sure to let them know not too).

i understand this latest flash actually changed the operation system too, causing big headaches to the tuning crowd.

Hey 2010SSRS I just noticed your VIN and delivery date, mine is #7570 delivered the same day. They must have been on the assembly line and in transport close together. Sorry for the off topic.

I'm 7539 so we were all probably born on the same day
