i read this forums post and questions about failures and 90% the answer is "take it back to the dealer, or you should have someone look at it"
i've been in the 3rd gen forums and the LS forums and ive never seen a group so far away from considering working on their own cars.
its not all of you but easily the majority of you will never consider even picking up tools and heading to your own car.
not all of you are techs and thats fine, but if you really enjoy your camaro then try and learn some things with it. push yourselves to understand things you do havent ever understood. fix things you have never had an idea you could fix.
just because you dont know how it works doesnt mean you cant know how it works. challenge yourselves to be better.
im a professional diagnostic tech so take it from me,
understand how does it work, why does it work, and what parts does it use to make it work. cars are very basic physics and electrical.
dont be afraid of learning something new and adding to the pile of knowledge you already have.
my strategy is if i dont know how it does what its doing then i figure it out. so no one will ever put tool to my car. never stop trying to be better than you were.

The only way I would ever take it to the dealer was if it was something under warranty that was too expensive or something I couldn't fix myself...

Otherwise, I've done all the work myself...

Maybe I haven't paid that much attention, but most the times I've seen that comment are because the car is still under warranty.

I don't like anyone to work on my cars, including myself, lol. But the ZL1 will go to the dealer, only IF the warranty will cover it. After the warranty expires an E85 tune will be first.
