@Fade2BlackSS Год назад

For the L99, if you put it in M and just drive without touching the paddle shifters, it'll shift by itself but more aggressively. It's equivalent to sport mode on certain cars. Once you hit the paddles, you'll have to put it in D again to have it shift automatically again.

@trentmurray1770 Год назад

I caught onto that too. But yeah for sure if you trynna win a race let the computer do its thing.

@chrisschaffer1118 Год назад

Actually when your in sport mode(M) and you tap the paddles to use tap shift, you do not have to go back into D to use auto. Stay in M and just hold down the upshift paddle on the right hand side of the steering wheel.

@WorksForMeBro Год назад

It is in fact the sport mode for the car. When you shift into M, you can see the S for sport on the heads up display. Definitely shifts more aggressively without a doubt.

Who buys a V8 Camaro for fuel economy? Nobody.

@isnowyazn Год назад

⁠@@roddycreswell8613This. But I understand wanting fuel economy at the end of the day… I’ve owned newer Honda’s that had variable cylinder management (VCM), which deactivated 3 of 6 cylinders (V6) on the freeway, for economic fuel management. Most people had issues with the earlier models, so there were physical add-on harnesses to disable the control modules, or you could also disable it via software with a flash tuning platform. And yes, the manual models don’t come with economic fuel management systems. It would probably be way too complicated IMO. Most of the automatic models of the cars usually even utilize a different air intake manifold system setup (butterfly valves, etc.).

L99 2ss owner here, when you shift the automatic into “M” it actually is the “Sport mode” and will remain in automatic mode, but will shift more aggressively and keep the RPMs in the power band, if you use the shifters it will switch over to manual mode, and you can put it back in automatic either by shifting back to regular “D” drive, or by holding up shift paddle for a second or 2

great video! after long contemplation, despite desperately wanting the LS3, i went with the L99 convertible mainly for the remote start which can be life saving where i live up north, the DoD does help save a little gas when city driving, and now that i'm a dad with a child seat installed in the car, it's always good to have the extra free hand when there's trouble in the back. no regrets at all, though there are days i dream of letting go of the clutch and taking off!

@SupersusSS606 Год назад

Common reason for people not liking the l99 much is the fact that they don’t know much about it. It runs best using paddle shifters with PRACTICE, same as standard. Timing has to be exact to avoid the delay from redlining and if you’re driving in any automatic mode, the “delay” is the kick down from a higher gear. Ex, if you’re cruising at 45 the car is in 6th gear. You mash the pedal, it’ll kick down to second gear then haul aah. Quick in drive, faster in sport with competitive mode engaged. (Double tap traction control) also for those who don’t know just hold the upshift to switch from manual back to sport

Over a year now with lots of hard miles and the clutch is still performing like when I first installed it. From them I chose their 1300hp/1300 ft lbs of torque clutch forgot the model. But it is amazing.

@98ws6m6cvert Год назад

Monster street twin good for 700hp. Monster slave. The stock slave is actually what's weak along with the clutch. Then get the tick speed bleeder. It is a life saver when you need to do a fluid change for the brakes. Also icing on the cake is the mgw short throw it makes the car perfect with this clutch. It doesn't chatter or have any bad characteristics like other twin disc. The rest isn't bad either, but when it came to a clutch that was like stock, pedal feel, better engagement etc. The monster wins hands down.

The manual vs auto debate has been going on forever,...or at least since the 70's when I got my first car. Lately I've had a 2005 Corvette with an automatic, then a 2002 Camaro SS with a 6 speed, then a 2005 CTS-V with a 6 speed of course as they were all 6 speeds, now a 2002 Formula with LS1 and automatic. I can take either one as I don't spend a lot of time in heavy traffic and 6 speeds are "more fun" but automatics also have their attraction.

You can look up other channels and see if you go in to the programming (HP Tuner) and turn things off the car is a WHOLE OTHER LEVEL! as it should be given the horsepower and torque. The automatic with the same assist off is allows a bit more to happen. I really enjoyed the automatic much more, which is a shame. I also had the newer 5.0 Mustang GT in manual and it also has it problems, mainly the shifter will not allow you to have much fun when you are really getting in to it, also lots of videos about this topic. It is a complete shame, these cars could be so much more with just a little work.

How interesting, so most people truly never experience the raw, unfiltered driving experience? Maybe because auto is easier to control, less likely of accidents? Thanks for this man!

@GV Aspirated First. love your clips. I follow and sub :P.. just 2 things, #1which exhaust (not mentioning tips) do you have at the moment.,.I am torn between borla S-Type vs Corsa extreme, but yours sounds bad ass.. and 2nd....not sure if you know as your have an earlier year.. but my new baby (2015 ss) has.. Hill Detection.. so with an m6.. it does not roll back. Btw. this was a HUGE shock to me as well :) just curious if you know when it was added.

Both still suffer from the trunnion needle bearing issue if left stock so they both technically can blow up, costing you 11k. I have a 16 SS that basically ate itself. Heres the diagnoses. Engine experienced a lifter and trunnion failure Removed engine from vehicle. Disassembled to evaluate failure and damage. Engine has major damage. See notes below Disassemble notes: -#6 intake rocker is broken and pushrod is stuck in valve cover -#7 intake lifter roller severely worn down and damaged cam lobe -Both rocker stands are shimmed with snap rings -Spark plugs show vehicle was very rich -#6 exhaust rocker has one broken snap ring on trunnion -Most valve tips are mushroomed -#4, 5 and 7 cylinder walls are badly scored. #7 has the deepest and may need sleeved -Found broken rocker and snap ring pieces in oil pan -#6 exhaust lifter roller is ground down to the pin, mushroomed lifter body and severely gouged lifter bore - will need bushed -#1 main bearing is worn past the copper, crankshaft main journal is badly gouged and damaged Engine has the following upgrades: -Rocker arms have BTR trunnion upgrade -Camshaft is BTR Stage 2 NA -Dual aftermarket valve springs -Aftermarket rear seal cover -Johnson lifters -7.600" pushrods -ARP balancer bolt -Melling oil pump -Mahle pistons, standard bore Gl Gb. Pray for me.

2018 LS3 owner here. I love ❤️ manual because I can hold my gears and have that REAL stick shift drive. My car will hold its value big time!!!!

@jthomp366 7 месяцев назад

No such thing as a 2018 LS3.....

@cski12894 7 месяцев назад

@@jthomp366 Sorry. Correction. The engine in my car is an an LT1. The articles are confusing on the two as sn LS3 IS a 6.2 liter V8 with aluminum block and heads but without the variable valve timing and direct injection. So either way MY CAR HAS A 6.2 LITER V8 WITH ALUMINUM BLOCK AND HEADS. Jesus. Here is why it gets confusing: "The LS3 is a 6.2 liter V8 engine that was produced by Chevrolet Performance between 2007 and 2017. It was used in high-performance vehicles such as the Camaro and Corvette. The LS3 is a reliable engine that responds well to modifications." This is from wiki. Either way I have my corvette engine dream car in my garage with the 1LE package that I will cherish for many, many years. Thank you but you could be nicer.

Did not know there was a difference until I purchased a 2012 Automatic. I purchased a afm disabler from amazon i hope works. Wanted to own a camaro from since watching transformers movie just in love with that car.

Hey I got a question, it’s normal that the clutch in my Camaro ls3 it’s long like all the way to shift gears ?

@koprcord5338 Год назад

Automatics are ok and laid back but love the engagement of manuals and just the experience. Do believe everyone should learn how to drive in a manual so they have to pay attention. Absolutely appreciate that my dad taught me how to drive a manual with no power anything.

@gvaspirated Год назад

Yeah man, but I see how majority of people may never even touch a manual car in their lifetimes. That's really for enthusiasts like us!

@richardgoodwin3087 3 месяца назад

So out of high school I started with motorcycles before cars. Im finally getting to the point I want an everyday reliable and fun to drive manual car. I currently drive a single cab gmc 4.8 v8. Would everyone here recommend from their experience, a 5th or 6th gen Camaro? Are there any real cons in your opinions? Is the windshield visibility THAT bad?
