North Alabama Newbie Here

mekirk2 · 10-04-2016, 12:05 AM

2016 SS2 Ragtop (glad I found an SS2) here in Garnet Red. Live in North Alabama and Im from West TN.

Spent all night cruising the forums and, of course, now Im worried about:

Catch Cans

When to change my break in oil

High oil consumption

voiding my warranty

>4K RPM during break in (dealer did not tell me - found it while reading my manual on the 3rd or 4th day of ownership). Havent rode it hard or anything (outside of a some jackrabbit starts of course), just havent paid attention to keeping it below 4K.

I also own a Nissan Titan and have been very impressed with the Titan community. Looks like Camaro has a similar following (do we have a facebook group?)

Ive learned that forums can drive you crazy worrying about whats gonna break next from my Titan

I sprung for the 100K bumper to bumper, so I hope to not worry with it for awhile!

CONGRATS on your ride and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5/6. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, dad's, wives', husband's, girlfriend's and boyfriend's here don't care....and take it easy.

oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!

Welcome aboard. The dealers won't tell you about proper break in proceedures, they wanted me to get on it when I was test driving mine.
