This is a stupid take. Use 0W40 on all model years. It's the exact same engine.

Breaking the window is so much easier, as the car can be stolen regardless of where the owner is. A broken window doesn't even set off the alarm. This explains why drivers side windows are so hard to...

The keys have rolling codes and can't be relayed easily. All of this theft is happening via a device that plugs into your OBD2 port. Your key fob has nothing to do with it and a faraday pouch doesn't...

All you folks saying GM will never do anything...do you see how media attention and customer complaints can force a company to fix a bad situation?

Now let's do the same for the theft situation.

He's simping for GM. I guess a Camaro should be locked up in a garage at all times. Don't drive it, just look at it once in a while :crazy:

Exactly, first the premiums will rise. Next step is just dropping comprehensive coverage, offering liability only. Insurance companies are in business to make money.

This will spread everywhere....

Cars have been stolen at the mall, grocery store, etc. When theft takes less than 5 minutes you basically can't park anywhere except for your own garage. It's best to get a killswitch and OBD lock

LAPD is issuing a warning for a reason. I think it will become a problem for GM when insurers start dropping Camaros.

Current Camaro and C7 Corvette owners are potential future C8 owners. I do believe the CT5V Blackwing is pretty much the same as the Camaro, so that should help

No, 90% of theft has the driver window smashed, which means they're using the OBD port. No need to smash the window if they have a key fob relay.

They use a Sawzall to saw through the steering wheel. Steering wheel locks are not the answer.

A $100 OBD lock will serve you much better.
