Slow Zl1 FIXED!

After a month of going to dealers hearing there's nothing wrong with my car, I took matters in to my own hands. A Camaro Zl1 A10 should not be trapping 113. Thanks to the advice from you guys I bled the cooling system and discovered a bunch of air. I also reset my battery. My car is now a real 650hp Zl1! Here's a video of my 2019 Zl1 vs a 2019 ctsv

Because you aren't doing it correctly. Just create a YouTube video and provide the link.

I don't think that video is allowed on here. This is a family friendly forum.

When I tried to install the TV in the guest room, it wouldn't line up correctly, turns out the bracket was crooked and my wife said "that's because you aren't doing it correctly"

Leave it to be a bunch of "hot air" to be the problem. Sounds like "Grumpy Old Men"....lol
