Going to have to try that. Haven't had much time to play around with stuff yet.

Yes, the valves are 100% open and I have heard that it def. helps with the rattle.

I pulled mine the week I bought her a few month ago so I never really had a chance to see if my NPP rattled or not.

So on those videos of startups and the NPP, how can they start it in Track mode? I've seen a bunch of videos where the show the start up exhaust sounds in each mode.

I do like the valves to be open on start up and when on the throttle but I have learned to appreciate a quiet drone-free ride when cruising. With NPP and set in Sport mode I get all of that all the time. When in Sport it starts with the valves open and does not reset to Tour like Track does when you shut off the engine.

So, I use Sport all the time for the sound the way I like it plus I also like the steering feel in that mode the best for street driving.

Yeah I just put it in sport, hopefully on next start up it will stay there. I like to leave the door open when I start it just to hear the exhaust

I love this car, the birds.....no so much.

Bird crap is a sign of good luck?

Yeah the exhaust on sport mode is nice and the valves are almost wide open. I love the sound (mainly why I bought the V8) and the NPP on track is nice! The burble at idle may not be a loud as others but on WOT, it's pretty loud.

It will stay in Sport mode - I've had mine set in that mode for 2 months now - never change it except to play around with the modes sometimes but I always put it back to Sport when I'm through playing. I've noticed on shut down I sometimes see it flash up T (Tour) as the instrument cluster shuts down. Not to worry - when you start it - it will be in Sport and nice and loud for you.

Looks like that bird found someone's blueberries. The good news - its not dried up yet so you can wipe it off with no worries for a stain.

Yeah, luckily I brought a microfiber towel with me this morning for some reason. It was a little dry and there was another one on the back windshield. I went to the bank and while i was there I grabbed a cup of water and some tissues LOL

3. I think the fuel door should have a release.
4. The shape of the center arm rest is awkward as its too thin. I find if I put my arm where it feels comfortable it falls into the cup holders. I think the arm rest and cup holders should be flipped around.

Lastly not a negative but how do u remove or prevent scuff marks on the door panel from your foot when getting in an out of the car? I would love to see some type of mod/product that I could put on the lower door panel to protect it.
This is how I keep from hitting the door panel or the sill when entering or exiting my car.
When getting in, do not start pulling the door closed when you are still entering. Leave the door open until your feet are on the floor.
When leaving do just the opposite. Open the door fully, then get out.
If you have a practiced motion it will cut down on the marks left and the clean up time. It really works for me. Good luck.

Thanks I'll have to try that!

I had a CTS coupe. Now THAT was hard to tint. If they can do that deep long window, they can do anything, and the Camaro will be a piece of cake. BTW, I'm getting mine tinted next week.
