Default Man, it must have gotten cold last night..

That G5X3 was having a hard time this morning.. Sounded like a funny car...

How bout the rest of you "cammed" guys? Was the car chopping a little this morning?

My front teeth were "cammin" until I could get some freaking heat in the cab, but just as it finally got warm, I arrived at work. Remote Starter is running through my mind right now.

Mine has a little extra "bark" at startup when it's this cold and runs a little rougher for a minute or so.

mine was choppin extra hard this morning and it sounded awesome! My neighbors hate me though haha, but at least im giving them the respect of keeping the electric cutout closed. Having my roommate back intown in a few days with the cammed GTO isnt going to help our cause with the stupid HOA.

Mine ran rougher than it ever has, it was 31 when I started it and it busted off like a shotgun. I can't wait for my new exhaust to get here. *wood*

The SS is usually alot louder when its cold on start up and it idles higher than normal until it warms up. Cut-out wide open + Cold start = Good morning neighborhood. I was out of the house at 730 this morning and I let that bastard idle for about 5 mins. ANd I hope my neighbors woke up and were pissed off........ they let their damn harleys Idle for at least 15 mins at like 9 in the morning when they go ride.

Glad i'm not the only one.. I have a County Sheriff as a neighbor.

Don't get me wrong.. My car fires right up.. Only this morning it was in the 20's,,,

Cold weather + Big cam ( 610 lift, big for me), equals loudness, in a good way.

On a positive note, the cold weather seems to help up top though, Car runs like a champ when it is warmed up..

Keep posting...
