Other option is to just sell yours as new takeoffs to someone who wants a square setup.

I certainly intended to live with the run-flats a lot longer but just couldn't go on with them. They deteriorate really fast and after 7500 miles (and 2 AZ summers) I finally pulled the trigger last week. Do it, you won't regret it. It is simply a crime that this car is saddled with these things. I was out all day in mine yesterday and was amazed at how I didn't feel beat up by the ride when I got home. We might even consider taking an overnight trip in the future in it. That would never have been a possibility with the run-flats.

For the mode switch issue, here's an easy fix that might work for you:
https://www.amazon.com/CheroCar-Inte...ZZC?th=1&psc=1 For whatever reason, the mode switch on my 2021 seemed easier to "inadvertently" use than the one on my 2016. The forum thread at the following link discusses the mode switch concern and included recommendations to use the shifter-trim overlay to address the issue: https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showt...=554173&page=6 It was good to find out that it wasn't just me or my '21. 😉 I've had this piece installed for over a year now and it completely eliminated the issue for me! |

I disagree, run flat are designed for stupidity. Manufacturers have to look at every variable hence the run flat. Does anybody remember the tire repair kit? Does anybody remember the run flat? Which one do you remember first? I always have a poke and fill repair kit and they’re only five dollars and guess what they work.

I kept my factory run flats on till worn out, 28k miles. Got general g max summer tires put on, 245-40-20. About $950. I then realized how awful run flats are and how good this car is.

I have the same issue, turning left or right. I simply position my car within the lane as I stop (stop sign / flashing red intersection), allowing needed visibility (for 90 degree square view)

I don't fully understand the term "45 degrees square", since an angle is either 45 degrees or square (90 degrees), but this is the left turn situation I'm talking about, aka the only visibility issue with this car---and many other good looking coupes, I should add. Yes, I'm not exactly a Van Gogh, but y'all get the point.
Sometimes it involves a split lane road with a wide median, but at least then one can place the car at closer to 90 degrees for better visibility (then turn in with a slight rear end wiggle, heh).

You think a reg. Camaro has a blind spot you have to own a convertible with the top up. you have to get use to looking in the side mirrors and luck. Also, I love my 6 cyl. 10A. I do run it in the street class, and you would be surprised how many fast per say car I bet. If I can stay in my 2 sec. at 60' it's a win. Plus the long drives out west are easy on gas. The seats are great with air and heat.
Like everybody when the run-flats wear out. I'll get great new tires. |
