My new Camaro 1LE!! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

1LE BLAKE · 12-14-2016, 10:29 PM

Well just about a week ago I purchased my first camaro! I have owned a couple SRT products in the past and wanted to try something different. I already really enjoy how the car handles compared to my SRTs.

I ended up with a 2014 1SS with NPP. I would have liked to have the rs package but I'm hoping to do the swap for the halos sometime soon. Look forward to getting some information and meeting fellow members!

Here are a few pics!

Congrats and welcome! There is so much you can learn from the other participants here on this website, it is amazing. I am biased, but I am guessing you will really enjoy that car. Once the current tires wear out, you'll be faced with a decision to stick with the current brand & type of tire or switch back to the OEM Goodyears.

Thanks for taking time to post the pics as well - what a great automobile!

Congrats man and I can only imagine how different it must be to have a performance car that can turn!

Here's a very import thing to learn. To completely turn off traction control and all other computer assists, hold the TC button for up to 10 seconds. You'll know it's off when a couple lights turn on, on the dash. Now you'll be able to do a proper burnout if you ever want to.

This is important because if you simply press it once, it turns on track mode. Press it again and it claims it turns off traction control. But, it's only partially turned off and you will just look like a fool.

Congrats again and best of luck with the sexy new 1LE!!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I have a few cosmetic things I want to get done such as new badges and the RS headlights but then it will be time for some headers!

Congratulations on your new camaro and welcome to the forum.

TXSheepdog261 · 12-15-2016, 09:15 PM

Congrats on your new ride. You will love how the headers sound with the stock mufflers.

Got mine a couple weeks ago. Didn't get to drive it much because of the cold, but it's cool to look at as well. I want to get into the local Track Days at Pocono Raceway. Never drove on a track before so it should be fun. A friend with a modded Challenger R/T has been begging me to go, but I never has the "right" car until now. Can't wait to blow his doors off!! I'm hoping to have Headers, CAI, Cat Back and Tune by then.

Sorry but your instructions above have some errors.
Traction Control functions work as follows:

1. First press of the traction control button turns off traction control (i.e. Will allow the rear wheels to spin for burnouts without interfering). Stabilitrak remains fully active at normal sensitivity.

2. Press/release button once, then press/release button again within a few seconds of each other and this activates competitive driving mode. Competitive driving mode disables traction control, reduces the sensitivity of the Stabilitrak system to allow more vehicle rotation before interfering, and it changes the electric power steering calibration to provide a "heavier" feel to it (less assist).

3. Press/hold for 8 seconds will again disable traction control but will then also completely disable Stabilitrak. Power steering assist will also be reduced like it is in competitive mode.

Unless you are a really experienced driver competitive mode gives you more than enough freedom to get into trouble with at least a slight chance that the computer might be able to save you. I have spun out on several occasions during autocross while driving in competitive mode.
