It is pretty awesome, my wife's '21 Telluride has the same feature and so when I got my LT1 I tried it. Just start, throw into gear and go.

Thanks for all the detail. I think all new cars have something annoying like the fuel fill issue. I share your fear of what they will screw up at the dealer - also the time it wastes going there. They are so slow. So you do about 600 miles a week for work? About 30k/yr?

sounds fixable with an update if they can be bothered.

I have heard it is to save the cost but mainly weight of the spare to improve performance and MPG figures which must show improvement every year.

Understood.

After as long as I've been driving, it'll always feel wrong to have the 'go' pedal first be telling the car's 'stay stopped' function to let go so we can get on with the business of going. Even though that means I'm doing less myself . . . hmmmm, maybe that's another part of it.


Though in some cars at least, if the driver has not buckled his seat belt, the e-Pbrake will not release on depressing the throttle. Might want to test this.

I agree, Norm, it just doesn't feel right, and for this reason I just can't seem to do it automatically. But when I do remember it's pretty slick.

Not sure about the seat belt, but I would guess you're correct. Another trained habit; I always put on the seat belt before I start the car and don't unbuckle it until after I shut the car off.

How do you build/price that at chevrolet.com? I can't seem to find the 1LE trim level. Sorry for the dumb question.

Yea I know it does but I'm not going to do that very often, seems like easy way to contribute to premature wear. In the m6 it doesn't just release without a little jolt.

Select 2SS under "Trim", then the SS 1LE Track Package under "Packages", it's in the second section under that tab.

For the first time ever I encountered a blind spot in my Camaro that could not be fixed with any type of adjustments, my only fix is to not encounter that particular piece of road again.

There is one area for me with a four lane divided road (2 lanes on each side) with a median between them. North bound State Street and South bound State Street. I was in the median which is at an angle around 35 to 40 degrees to enter the South bound side. It's the first time I used that particular road with my Camaro. There is no way to see oncoming traffic from that angle. I have never encountered that helpless feeling before, no other vehicle including my older 2008 Mustang has this particular issue. The rear column completely obscures all view. Luckily when I finally decided to take an educated guess and go for it, there were no cars coming.

It is the only bad thing I have encountered with my Camaro. My work around is to just not use that particular bit of road. I can go down half a mile and use a 4-way intersection.

I know the feeling. I think through this before leaving certain parking lots. Doesn’t happen very often.

I'll echo what a lot of others have mentioned. I will also let you know that I had an LT1 A10 Coupe. I upgraded to an 1SS 1LE M6 this summer.

-I'm not thrilled with the electronic park brake
-Center storage is a joke, cup holders are too small and the center console is too small for anything besides a pair of sunglasses and mini bottle of hand sanitizer (car is my daily driver)
-Center console lid SLAMS shut if it slips out of your hand.
-LT1 tires are narrow and wear quickly in my experience
-After owning the LT1 for a year, the gauge cluster seemed dated and lacked what I was looking for. SS is full digital in the center
-The A10 transmission is quick and responsive, but I just love rowing through the gears. Auto rev matching sounds terrific on the M6 manual cars
-The interior needs some color. Sometimes the "All Black" gets a little overwhelming. Easy fix I think with some blue Alcantara.

The 2016-2018 models are perfect. I do not like the 19-22 models near as much, they don't look aggressive at all IMHO. The 19 in retrospect, I now feel looks better than the 20-22.
