Because its such a huge "Turn-Key" Performer.

This is also an opportunity to get an insight on CURRENT Tweeks right from the experts, (as they have the proprietary knowledge).

These Tweeks will help EVERY performance owner regardless of model.

Definitely interested in the ZL1 1LE settings . . . especially in how much they differ from production stock. Reasoning behind any of them (or why they weren't set either more or less aggressively) would be a big plus.

Explanation of the no-lift shift would be my #2 choice.

I voted for the settings....Not sure why this even needs a vote.

I thought the owners would be supplied with all the settings used for every track the ZL1 1LE has been tested on, including the 'Ring and all others?...."Milford" and the three seconds less thing, for example...

The settings were to be supplied and made known as part of the "Owner's Manual" or something like that...now we have to beg?


Found this...similar, at least...http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showth...+times&page=32

If you click the post # in the top right corner, you can get a perma-link to an individual post.

Linking back to a page doesn't work if people have changed their page display settings. For example, that thread only goes up to page 13 for me.

I have been already using NLS, and everything works fine for me. Just to be clear, I only NLS with 100% acceleration at or very near redline with every intent to shift into the next higher gear at 100% to continue 100% acceleration until at least establishing the next higher gear. Otherwise, I do not attempt to use the feature during normal acceleration or RPM's lower than at/near redline. So, my vote would be "yes" to have the Camaro team answer this question to hopefully put this confusion to rest. I'd even suggest they do a quick YouTube video discussing the feature, the models/trims it works on, and actual demonstration.

Has the M6 launch issue already been asked/discussed? Seems to me, for more beneficial than production statistics.

What about sway bar end link issues? What's with the front spring replacement? How do our current rear ends compare to the 5th gens as far as HP strength?

I'm just trying to think practically.

Those are good questions. Create a thread with them and maybe they will be selected for the 2nd question that gets asked.

Great suggestion. I'd love to see them pull together a video.

The owners manual includes detailed instructions for adjustment. It also includes recommendations for different types of performance driving. But they did not break down settings by track. I think I misunderstood that explanation, originally.

Not begging anything.

Sounds like some ZL1 1LE owners thinks GM owes them some sort of Factory Race Support? Hahahaha

Maybe they can supply a 1-800 number you can call and they will send out a support truck to tune your car every track weekend. New tires included .

Yes but those secrets are worth more than money.

If anyone should get it is the people who have tracked a car like yourself.
