CAMARO6 - View Single Post - Test Drove 1LE: Odd Engine Management Issue at High RPM?

Hi Everyone,

I tried looking in the forum for another post like this but could not find one.

I test drove a brand new 1LE yesterday and loved the car. Recently sold my 2014 1LE and was looking to replace it with a new one. Everything about the car felt better then my 2014 except one thing. When I was accelerating to run it through the gears just to get a feel for the power, I noticed when the car reached about 5500 rpm that it seemed that the electronics were retarding the ignition and was losing power instead of accelerating right up to red line. I noticed this every time I attempted it. The car was in track mode, the weather was about 68 degrees and the tires were not slipping.

Is this normal? Did I have it in the wrong mode? My plan is to track this car on a regular basis so I need to know if I was doing something wrong or if there is a potential problem with this car. I test drove a 50th anniversary SS a few months back and didn't notice this behavior. My 2014 had no issues pulling straight to redline.

Thanks for any information.
