ZXMustang's 2017 Camaro SS 1LE

[Shawn1112]

Congrats, very nice color.
Personally speaking I would be very hesitate to let the dealer wash it.
In my file at the service dept at Feeney (now Elgin Dodge) it comes up DO NOT WASH on my Ram, the wifes Cherokee, and my kids Compass.

UConnect is the best thing on the market right now.

Congrats on the car, Brian. The rev matching stuff is pretty damn sweet, IMO. Love how it sounds. Why do you think it has no place on the street?

What do these things run stock nowadays? What power plant is it?

Oh and PLEASE tell me you'll road race this thing at Autobahn at least once this year?

When Joe and I were at Byron last fall, there was a stock 2016 running low 12's.

 

[syP]

Buddy of mine has one. Bone stock ran consistent 11.9s at 117mph. He has an 8 speed auto though.

 

[RICH17]

That flex fuel setup is sweet. I want to do the same

 

[ragingclue]

Crazy you can get that much car for that "little" these days.

 

[IceCreamAssassin]

Dang that's so good, I'm in the area so I look forward to see it driving around, congrats!

The rev matching thing is nice, but when downshifting all the way to 1st, it blips the throttle hard to make sure you are ok. I wouldnt do that normally. And I have no problem driving stick on the street. But at the track, its awesome to keep you in the power band on a down shift. I will use it here and there, but I have to adjust my driving style when its on.

As for autobahn....HELL YEAH. Let me know when you guys are going. I've been wanting to do that for like 5 years.

And should break 12's easy. 11's will be tough because manual. But on a tire, it should get close. The Flex Fuel setup and the cat delete pipes will most likely be my first mods. I can then swap back and forth from E85 to gas when convenient.

 

[blakbearddelite]

Downshift to first?!?!

 

[TCG Member 5219]

Downshift to first?!?!

Yeah as you are coming to a stop, or if you are coming to a slow roll, but you need to get going again.

 

[blakbearddelite]

I don't know that I've ever downshifted to first coming to a stop. As soon as I see I'm going to need to stop, I just drop it into neutral and coast. I guess there are always those guys that like to approach a stop in first gear to listen to the engine rev down.

Second gear is as low as I go if there is any momentum at all. Otherwise I have to feather the clutch to make it smooth using first gear. But that's just me.

 

[Mook]

The R wont downshift to first until I'm basically stopped. I guess thats auto vs manual but even so.

And I never went to 1st in a manual car other that to start from a stop.

 

[Yaj Yak]

my bmw won't let me hit first until im almost stopped.

but that's such a high performance machine.

 

[RICH17]

I need first all the time......because no power......

Yesssss... AB.... another tcg'r grows a pair

the dodge boats would just look "weird" on the road courses?

I agree with that. I'd feel very awkward trying to road course a charger. Hell I was feeling weird about taking the charger to the drag strip.

So Im back to DDing the minivan tho. Gotta make some concessions somewhere. Maybe next year we will try to get something nicer/newer for me to DD. Like a newer civic or something.

 

[Bruce Jibboo]

also I'm just trolling, I'm sure plenty of dodge whatevers would smoke my lap times with the right driver

 

[FESTER665]

Time for an avatar change?

 

[RICH17]

Definitely hit up some AutoX's and road courses. you'll love it

Once you get your feet wet at Autobahn, you'll need to check out Road America!

Someone was trying to tell me that Blackhawk was good. I thought that was for bikes? I was there many years ago with my buddy and his liter bikes. Even the 1000s were only getting to 140 on the front straight. Way too small for cars I thought.

 

[RICH17]

It's a rough track and tears up tires from what I heard

Never been to Blackhawk

 

[Rent Free]

the times these run stock makes me keep thinking how much the mustang needs the 10 speed auto.

So in the next couple weeks we should see a 2017 Mustang thread.
