Welcome my 2016 SS LT1

Representing all the way from Arizona! But I have one question. Is it supposed to smell like gas after you've been riding?

No gas smell at all on mine. These LT1's do take a bit to warm up....

Nice car and color! You should not smell gas. Pop the hood and check things out when next it happens (hopefully never). If it's still doing it, then take it in.

Thanks! Yeah I thought it was weird. Maybe it's running rich? Idk but when I got it the dealer said it had a tune, idk if that has anything to do with it.

Nice, post a pic of yours. Also is it just mine or do they all shift funny while in touring mode?

I did not, I have no idea what it is. Is it maybe because of the cat delete?

Before I got my 2SS, I had a 1LT V6 which I drove regularly in touring mode. The different between touring and sport mode in that car was negligible but after upgrading to a 2SS I now see what people mean... it drives like absolute crap in touring mode. Sports Mode or Track Mode are the only modes you should use. Mine stays in Sports mode, eats up way to much fuel in Track for DD. Sports is still "fair" about fuel mileage.

Touring mode IS okay when using the cruise control at 55 + MPH however and if you dont intend on stop and go or accelerating alot, keeping a steady speed in touring mode gets you good fuel mileage.

Did you happen to pull your fuse? Just curious as i have and dont see any difference in sport or track only compared to touring i see slight difference in gears changing faster. About it.

It is a CAT delete, yes, you are going to smell an odor from the lack of burn off. Lived in Yuma for 10 years, not to worry, the road temperature will ignite any unburned fuel! LOL
