You're the guy who gives Camaro owners a bad name.

Some people still think of Camaro owners with mullets blasting their Def Leppard cassettes. Please don't add to the stereotype.
Camaro is grown up. So too should it's owners be.

Thank God I'm never buying a car you drove.

Press and hold the Start button for approximately 15 seconds. At this point the engine will START, but CONTINUE to hold the start button for approximately 15 seconds. Information will display on the center of the cluster that will indicate when transport mode has been turned OFF. Transport mode can be entered using the same procedure.

Any RESPONSIBLE dealer would make sure all of their Corvettes and Camaros (if possible) were put in transport mode the second they get them off the truck. And then only let the customer who buys it take it out of transport mode.

This is a VERY handy tool.

So..if I'm hearing this right...

People are expected to make at minimum a $37,000 purchase without actually pushing the car? I'm not talking about thrashing the ever living crap out of it..but really seeing what it's capable of...

Last test drive the sales woman said go ahead and get on it, but you are going to pay any tickets. Just don't want my new car to be beat on by someone that has no intention of buying.

When I drone one the salesman was the same way. But I didn't hammer it - I told him if you encourage this on cars before a customer buy it I'm certainly not buying a car from you. He didn't know what to say after that. Lol

Would you want someone hammering your car before you bought it?

So you're saying you bought the car after going out and thrashing it?

Oh, yeah... didn't think so.

It's my choice to buy the car...if I see a brand new Camaro/Challenger/Mustang sitting on the lot with 75 or 80 miles..I'd drive it and if I wasn't comfortable with the amount of miles or anything about it..I'd buy a similar car with less miles OR custom order one.

my local dealer got an SS, know them personally so they let me take it out for a test drive alone. all i can say is that i hauled a$$ in it and did things that you shouldnt do in the break in procedure lol thankfully i got one that literally came off the truck and was the only one that drove it lol

Man, there are more boneheads here than I originally thought......

Every time I read something from you that says it's ok to rip it the day you buy it I'm going to follow you with the fact that it is NOT ok, so those who aren't sure don't take your advice.

You want me to stop? You need to stop.

For everyone else, please follow the owners manual for proper break in.

First off stop acting like you're on some sort of crusade. You have no idea what you're talking about. As I said in the other thread give me evidence as to what you support and maybe I'll give you the time of day. Otherwise, hop off and don't reply to me. If you have something to say to me then hit the PM button and stop acting like some internet tough guy. Second off, go look at the break in for the LT1 crate engine. It calls for WOT pulls. Silly GM they must be damaging the engine

Didn't thrash it, just opened it up like the salesmen asked.

The fact of the matter is that most owners will not follow the break in procedure. If you don't allow people to test drive the cars and make some hard acceleration runs, you run the risk of chasing away potential customers. If you let people drive it like you stole it, then the owners who want to follow break in procedures are much less likely to buy from you. It's a no win situation. If you want to break it in, your best bet is to order new. I honestly don't think people should be worried about 10-12 miles of driving unless it was track time though.
