500 miles and I can't believe it!!!!

I honestly think GM should have warned us if this is how the Camaro was going to be from the begginning.

I was doing my weekly break-in procedure on a closed road and the damn car slipped sideways under me in 2nd gear!!!!

I don't think it's suppose to do that.
can anyone help?

Turn traction control back on.

Is this your first car with independent suspension and 426HP?

Darth_Emma · 03-31-2010, 09:11 PM

It's not a bug, it's a feature.

I saw that smirk.

Don't worry, tires, tickets, gas... it's only money. It doesn't disappear by itself!

Yeah, I'm so used to being disappointed in purchases that I'm pissed at GM. Who the hell do they think they are throwing me a curve and giving me so little to complain about?

Ahh very interesting. I think you should let me diagnose your problem by way of a road test. Just let me get my dog sled team together and I'll be down in a couple of weeks.

if you think that's crazy, wait till you mod it to make it fast!

What is the right way to break in a new car anyway? I was told before when I bought my 300 that I shouldn't go over 55mph for the first 500 miles because of some synthetic oil in the new engine thats not like regular motor oil.....I want to do this right when I get my SS

Honestly, there is too much debate on this for me or anyone to give you the right answer. If you want to be safe, do what the manual says. If you are like me and want to have fun, then have fun...... lol.

Either way you are guranteed to have a smile on your face.
