Was it. Because they are terrible tuners or the ECM issues?

ecm issues, but it's also a box tune, so i could only email the single person that can modify the tune. so it was a PITA. biggest reason i switched to the SS.

Makes sense. I'm surprised GM would use that style of ECM with how popular modding camaros have always been.

well, if it's comparable to the current aftermarket intakes, then i think it's worth it, since most intakes cost 300 or more. lol

Yea some things on it need to be changed if I do get it. I haven't heard back the past couple of days. I told her I won't pay sticker and she gave me stuff about how the internet days, not much equity in it at that price, etc. Usual dealer talk. I am just not that impressed by her compared to others. I think C5 people give her more credit then is due.

I think they did that because of the DI engine and I've noticed Bosch ECM's becoming popular in the auto world. I also think they didn't expect many people to do radical things to the V6, besides cosmetics and simple bolt-ons.

I thought the V6 won't be that hard to mod and tune. Boy was I wrong.
