I loved that feature when I had my SRT8. Don’t get why nobody else does anything like that.

I just tried it on my Camaro. It said, “Do you want to start this car or masturbate me with the with the ignition key a few more times?” I apologized and moved on.

I thought that feature was just for the V6s.

That was an old-school OBD1 method that died off in the 90s for GM isn't it?

I would recommend any owner of cars nowadays to spend a few bucks to buy a code reader. There's so many cheap ones nowadays, even ones that just bluetooth to your phone for $10.

There was an "engineering mode" in the Pontiac G8's, but I'm not aware of any kind of backdoor way into the Camaro mind.
