Ambient lighting enhances your nighttime driving experience
Standard on 2LT and 2SS
No mention of any delay on that. One of those things people were throwing fits over but I think they don't have to worry about it apparently.

Awesome detailed info on there.

And the colors on the screen are actually very accurate!

The Chevy web-geeks did a nice job.

Is it just me or does it say 29 MPG Auto V6, 31 MPG Stick V6?

305HP and 31 MPG? Sounds like a winner!!

Nice! A 111 trap speed. Officially faster than ANY stock 4th gen has gone to my knowledge with ANY driver and this is GMs advertised numbers. It looks to me like these should walk a 4th gen stock for stock.

LOL to all the doubters.

i have a feeling those performance numbers might be a little conservative.

I noticed you can get the wheels from the Camaro Black! A bit on the expensive side though, over $4000 for them, ouch.

At 3400 lbs a 4th gen would have to be at 375 horsepower to equal 9lbs per horsepower.

Tainted- Did you mean ouch as in it stings the 4th gens numbers?

Wait it only needs 87 octane? Or is that just because it will retard timing?
