What did you do to your 6th Gen Camaro today?! - Page 697

Invertalon · 03-05-2021, 10:15 PM

Took it out for a nice drive on this beautiful (but cool) day here in Cleveland. Drove 45mins one way to get coffee somewhere, just because. Took the scenic way back home through the metropark system here, my favorite drive in the area. Wide open stretches of road, little traffic and some really fun hills and turns.

Did a few WOT 0-60ish runs on some back roads. Felt extra crazy today, gave me chills.. Was going to try launch control for the first time (was holding off during break in), but was having issues getting it to work until I got home. I was enabling competitive mode, but didn't realize you then had to reselect sport or track mode again (it was already in that mode, but I guess you have to confirm it or something...). So next time I want to give that a whirl now that I got it to work.

Just hit over 1500 miles, so time for the next oil and diff fluid change. Probably do that Sunday since I'll be brewing some beer tomorrow all morning (and drinking some after in the evening!). Cheers.

AWESOME!!! Enjoy the ride, it is a GREAT car!

Launch Control - Be in Track Mode, tap Traction Control button twice, mash the brake pedal to the floor and then mash the gas pedal to the flood (should come up to about 2,000 RPM and stay), let off the brake and enjoy the ride!

I was doing that with launch control and it wasn't working! I was in track, pushed the traction control twice to enable competitive mode and it still wasn't allowing launch control. I found out I had to push the mode selector again (i was already in track, but when I pushed it after the traction button, it then enabled launch control in the menu). Maybe some weird change for 2021? I don't know.

Tried it a few times though and that was the only way it worked.

Cruised 2 towns over to get my COVID vaccine - but at least I could do it with the top down.

It was a drive through clinic. It had to be a few thousand people there. Like entering or leaving a professional sporting event. Crazy. But they were super organized and it flowed very well. Was there about 45 minutes including the 15 minutes they made us sit there.

Nothing to report now. No soreness or anything.

I will keep you all posted.

And I got my Plaque from Chris. It is awesome!

Figured I better hook my trickle charger up so the battery charges while she is stuck in hibernation.

I just ordered another one. The one I have lists some of my factory options. The one I ordered lists my mods. This is my current one. Since it’s attached by Velcro, I can pull it off and put the mod list plaque on for car shows.

I need to clean my car but the pollen is so bad at work it would be covered in 2 hours time. So gotta wait another 2 weeks and most of the pollen should be done.

Ordered some wheels and tires for my 2020 SS convertible.
FR41 replicas 20x10 and 20x11, and Continental extreme DWS 06 tires. They go on next week
