My Tranny shifts like a girl
I just recieved delivery of my new Camaro 2SS. I sold my 2005 GTO. I am used to a much firmer shift, the GTO would chrip the tires going to 2nd from the factory. What can I do to get the same result without voiding factory warrentee?

Find a tuner that can firm up the shift points? Give Vector Motorsports a call, see if they can straighten you out and tell them that CamaroZ28.Com sent you.

I guess this car unlike the new GT500's doesn't have a traction control switch? I know if you go to the hennessey web site they have a utube link to the 1/4 run on their stockk SS and they do get a pronounced chirp out of second at about 55-60 mph. Although I would describe it better as a scratch rather then chirp. Those tires were nice and warm.

I should've assumed it was an auto. However assumptions are something I try to avoid. Thanks for clarifacation. And thank you for the info on a TCS. I am a little surprised that if the TCS was off that you don't get a bark out of 1st into 2nd. I bet that extra 26hp you waive for an auto,or the fuel economy improvement cost you the chirp?
