Do your guys’ engines enter V4 mode on highways?

My V6 rarely enters AFM at speeds higher than 50 mph, it has 245/45/R20s instead of 245/40/20s and I’m wondering if that’s the reason. I saw the V8 gets 30 mpg at 75 mph according to Car and Driver so I’m assuming it can enter AFM at highway speeds due to it having more power at lower RPMs.

Recommend spoilers

I have a 2017 1SS that I am looking to swap the stock spoiler. Is there any recommendations, I would prefer one that I can just swap one for one, no extra holes, or covering empty holes required.

Anybody else experience this issue?

I have a 2ss 2016 and all the time I go to start the car and I have to remote learn the key again and again placing it in the cup holder and holding the power. I just bought new keys from Chevy not to long ago. It’s not every time but it’s often

Accident this morning

I was on my way to work this morning, got into the industrial area, and a truck carrying steel had a 4x4 block of wood. I don't know if it wasn’t strapped down or forgotten on the bed, but it flew into my lane, and I hit it with my driver-side front tire going around 40 mph. Super loud banging happened afterwards. I was surprised my tire pressure didn’t drop; it still hasn't. This is the damage to the car when I got to work. It is located behind the driver-side front tire. Can anyone tell me how bad the damage is and what I should do?

76 LT Transmission

Looking at a 76 LT tomorrow. VIN verifies it was a 350, car has a 4 speed manual, seller says it is factory and is adding price to the car. Fine they are rarer and it really doesn’t matter to me if it was factory or not, unless I have to pay more. How do I verify that it was a factory original 4 speed. It was built in Ohio but the Cowl tag has been screwed in not riveted (only 73 & 74 were screwed on, all other riveted, so that’s red flag.)

Finally figured out how to use my remote start (sound on)

2021 Camaro LT1 finally figured out how to use the remote start after owning it for 2 days. I had to create a profile and then it worked. I feel so dumb.

Do 315s hook that much better than 275s (all else being equal)? Need help deciding wheel/tire combo for 650rwhp.

I have a 2011 Camaro SS making 650whp, and am finally getting away from my ugly stock rims.

My understanding is that a square setup is the best for handling, but it just looks wrong, so I am going to maintain a staggered setup.

I think the best look for the car is 275s front, 325s rear. However, I am quite weary of the significantly higher tire price going with a 300+ tire and the fewer options. This car is an impractical enough daily, and I am not eager to make it significantly worse.

I am planning to patchwork solve this with spacers (245 front with 275 stock rims in the rear simply looks undersized like the wheel well is not being filled).

My understanding from research is that a wider tire will handle much better, but not hook much better. Given that I do not track my car, is there any compelling reason why I should run 315s, or if I can afford a superior tire in 275 will I hook better with that? (Side note: leaning towards Toyo 888Rs for spirited driving, Pilot Sport 4Ss for daily driving, and Michelin All Season 4s for the winter—if anyone has a better recommendation for my tires setup, I am all ears).

Headlight Issue

Unhappy Headlights not working On my 2017 Camaro 2ss

The tail lights work properly

The corner lights work properly

The blinkers work properly

The Fog lights and DRL's work properly

However, the low beams and high beams do not turn on, when I turn on the high beams, the blue high beam icon appears on my dash like normal but the high beams do not engage. When I turn the headlights from automatic to on, the low beams blink on for a split second and then stay off. No codes on ECU, TCM, or BCM. So far I have tried:

Checking Error/OBD Codes: None

Checked the Fuses (Not blown but no voltage)

Holding the switch to the on position

Reviewed the wiring digram

I'm thinking it's the switch since its both sides but I am unsure, any help is apricated.

Also, how would I be able to Dx if it is the turn signal switch?

Welp my saga continues

2017 Camaro 2SS - Transmission Woes, No ETA on Replacement

So, my ‘17 2SS had the infamous torque converter shudder last year. Took it in for a flush, and it was good for a while. Around Christmas, I thought I felt it creeping back, but it wasn’t consistent.

Finally had time to take it in on January 21st. The dealership confirmed the issue and initially planned to replace the torque converter. Luckily, I have an extended warranty, and the repair was approved.

Then they decided to replace the whole transmission instead. That’s when things got complicated. The warranty department couldn’t find a refurbished or used transmission, so they had to approve a cash payout for a new one. That process took about a week.

After waiting a few more days for an update, I checked in—only to find out GM is out of stock on the part with no ETA.

This sucks. What are the chances GM just never gets these back in stock? Anyone else run into this? Any ideas on what I should do ?

What do you dislike most about your Camaro

I’ll go first, (2018 v6 1LE) The built in phone charger port in the back seat why did Camaro make a phone port small knowing phones are growing every year this boggles my brain.

Is this the cure for Camaro-itis?

https://preview.redd.it/fkblfu1lfvge1.jpg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f3c7fe571df208eb474c976dbdb8ace17327b856

Apparently Camaro-itis is genetic. I had it BAD when I was my daughters age. She has it as well.

Yesterday (Sat) , we could no longer hold off the feverish temptation that goes along with this ... condition.

She bought her first Camaro.

2016 1LT , V6/auto, RS , Hyper Blue , 42k mi

She is very competent on a manual, kind of prefers them, but after driving auto/and manual Camaros, she was happy with either trans, so she jumped at this one when we found it
