During 4 yrs of ownership of my '12 Vert 2SS M6, I only had it come on maybe 2 dozen times..... usually going thru a town or something, otherwise I was always past its threshold. It was never a nuisance to me... I usually would hang between gears for a few seconds after it came on and then it would allow the shift to second...

This has to do with enabling Chevy to meet federal fuel efficiency requirements for its overall fleet. Years ago (I had a 98 vette) the skip shift was far more noticeable. Although I just got my car, it hasn't activated once, so definitely much less invasive than I was anticipating. Put if its bothersome, just get a CAGS eliminator which is plug and play.

The last 4 GM cars that I purchased all had skip shift. I typically show up to the dealership on the day of purchase with an eliminator kit and have them throw it on before leaving. Worth the $20 part and 1/2 of labor to not have to jack the car up or mess with it.

Want to avoid it? Drive the car like the engineers intended when they programmed the parameters to skipshift. Give it some gas, go a bit faster before shifting, and in general have some fun with your 650 hp Camaro. If you are so not concerned about fuel economy ... don't drive economically. I'm sure the engineers that came up with it 25ish years ago shake their head every time they hear someone complain.

It came on my 09 Viper (640HP)....
