General LSX Automobile Discussion - Stock SS camaro chirp second (automatic)???

SS camaro with flowmaster cat back. k&n air filter, and tune.. chirp second with auto trans.

is that a question, comment, statement?

I think it was a question...

Anyway, my Z28 would chirp second all the time when the tires were cold, when it was stock.

Mine would do it with 2.73 rear gears.

My car would do it when I had the stock tranny and 50% tread left. Then I got a built tranny and new tires and it does it better. :)

I must be the only one who thinks chirping tires=lack of traction=bad thing :jest:

I have never chirped second but that has also never bothered me either.

My 01SS did it all the time with the stock trans... even more so when i had the tranny built :D

I can chirp the tires if I punch it in 3rd going around 60. Breaking the tires loose is a breeze in 2nd though....

I wish my tires would just grip the road, I don't care to chirp em'.

yeah my buddy has a colorado sport and was bragging he could chirp third.. which is because he has 235 contis at like 40 psi, an open rear end ( i dont think its a limited slip but i could be wrong, if it is its really shitty), and no weight in the back.. i can barely chirp 2nd now with nittos if theyre cold.

My 98SS chirps 2nd with Borla Cat-back, K&N and no tune . . . fresh Potenza's

Is he actually try'n to state that its a problem? lol

Mine will chirp on my 1-2 shift all day long and I like that sound too!

agreed! it means you have power and you're using it!

Well that does mean a temporary loss in traction, but it sounds cool. Tires also have a play in it. Some Nitto DR's probably wont chirp, but they could spin on the 1-2.

I chirp second every time. I think its a good thing. Makes me feel like the car has a lot of power

I wouldn't know. Even if I did chirp the tires there isn't a snowballs chance in hell that I could hear it over LT's, ORY and dynomouth at WOT :devil:

Mine chirps the tires shifting to second too, and I have 315's in back :cry:

Mine too, but I also have 4.11's out back and a six speed. :)

Why? I have LT, ORY, and Borla with no plate, and I can hear mine plain as day, you must have descent tires.

Dont I know you from somewhere Darren? ;)

I cant chirp mine in 2nd. 18"s + Nittos = :(

mine dont chirp never has even with 255 kumho's on them, now ive got 255 BFG drag radials def wont now.

Same here...My old 98' TA (2.73s) that I bought new would squawk 2nd hard.Bone stock with barely 5K on the clock...

I can't wait. I found yet more info that very distinctly backs my position. You're gonna be fighting a losing battle on this one :)

I chirp 5th :devil:

My thirdgen woul chirp 2nd hard with my new motor and had 2.73's and 255's out back. did it when it was cold on original motor

Mine chirps on the 1-2 upshift every time. Sometimes you can feel it get a little sideways. When I had crappy tires on it and it was cold, it would sometimes spin them up to 60mph.
