Just bought an '84 Z28...

Im new to the Camaro...got a question...After I brake and come to a complete stop, the car will roll a little forward on its own...The seller told me this was normal and left it at that...Any insight?

Re: Just bought an '84 Z28...

My guess is that the car is an automatic and you've never driven a V8 before. The torque converter is pretty strong in those, so with your foot off the brake and the vehicle in drive, it will continue to roll forward. Just hold the brake pedal firm when you are stopped and the car should not roll.

Either that, or just before stopping you are feeling the automatic shift down to 1st which can produce a little "push" feeling.

Hope this helps
