Just came back to the fold!

Well, after having sold my 2013 2SS 1LE back in 2016, I have been camaro-less until TODAY!!!

I just picked up a 2018 ZL1, 6M, Red Hot with PDR. It had 43 miles on it when I picked it up at Hendrick Chevrolet in Cary, NC. I have put 50 miles on her today. Just could not get out of work.

While I love driving it, I actually expected her to be significantly more powerful than my old 1LE. But, it only seems a little stronger. I am hoping this is just because I need to do the fuse pull trick. The little bit of gas they put in these at the factory so that they can be loaded onto a transport must not be Premium.

I went with the salesman this morning to fill her up with 93. So, I am hoping the fuse pull will yield the expected result.

I will post up some pictures of her tomorrow.

But I am VERY happy to be back in the camaro family!

Ok, so after combing through the forums, it seems the Gen6 camaros don't have a fuel map fuse like the old Gen5 did.

So, maybe I just need to finish breaking her in. She only has 93 miles on her.

Congrats. I had a 13 ZL1 and 15 Z/28 both stock. This gen 6 ZL1 will leave those cars right where they belong. In the past. What mode are you driving in?

Yup, good call. Turns out I had it in Tour mode. Much more responsive in Sport mode.

Weather looks great tomorrow. Just washed her and plan to take it out to the lake to get some good photos.

My man! Then there is PTM mode.

Finally got some decent pictures today after putting a good coat of wax on her...

Unless your old car was heavily modified, you are now running with about 50% more power! Let it rip, put the hammer down and you should feel a huge difference.

Good choice on color (the fastest!). Enjoy the car and
