Keep my fingers crossed i soppose, everybody told me the same thing about the rear in my Camaro, now the car is automatic with a 3200 stall and i come off the lights, stop sign, sideways no wheel hop or any problems yet with the car, and i got 96 thousand km's on it. Another question i have how many guys are using aftermarket gauges in your cars? I have a couple of gauges here i got cheap, i wanted to install them on the A-pillar, can you even buy a pod for A-pillars for these cars?

There are guys who have blown them up doing a hard 1-2 shift on street tires, not even hopping on the launch. These same guys probably do a lot of hard shifting, so it's more than likely a build-up over time.

I don't have this car to beat on like that now with that saying you do have 400 h/p that is like putting a kid in a candy store, and telling him/her not to touch.. Really come on!!! Every now again i might let loose but i won't be doing brake burns, never done it in the Camaro, not going to start now. I never had either of my cars at the track like i typed earlier not much in to it. I don't care about what it runs i have always loved this cars and i finally got one i am very happy!!!

Speaking of sideways... I know that if you hold down the T/C button the steering wheel it completely disables the traction control. So, with that in mind what does that T/C button in my glove box do? LOL

Redundant buttons. Both do the same thing

it's so the person sitting in the passenger side can ruin your fun when they have had enough.

The color is red which i like because most of them are either black or blue, don't get me wrong i like those colors also, but you don't see to many red CTS-V's going around. Here where i live i think there is only 3 in the city the CTS's are everywhere but no V's..
