Pulled the trigger on a 2011 Camaro today. Nothing fancy just the LT1 but it does have the 19 inch polished wheels and the boston sound package. Since the speed demon in me moved away a while back the 6 cylinder should fit my needs. It has the 6 speed auto and will get around 29 mpg highway and magazines show a 14.5 quarter mile time. Got $25,000 on trade for my Sierra. Altough I have no doubt a better deal could be had somewhere, sometime, with enough searching, I am satisfied. It's coming from another dealer and won't be in my driveway until Tuesday. I think the clock is already starting to slow down.

 

It should look similar to the one in the photo. summit white with hugger orange deck stripes. When it arrives I will post a couple more pics.

Sick looking car!!! I would have gotten the manual trans V8 but still that's a pretty car!

 

 

I thought about it but just couldn't justify the extra $$. 312hp out of the 6 makes me hope I won't regret my decision.

The only car I'd drive if I wasn't driving the truck. Only an SS but... I understand why you got the 6 :rollin:

 

Congrats. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the car once you have it.

some people like the 6....but a 2010 SS with under 20k miles with warranty can be bought for around 28k. I love the camaro in white like you picked out;0)

I know two people who bought the six and both are amazed by it both in terms of power and mileage. Good choice!

Nice but I really hate the white. Prefer a much darker hue such as black.

 

Of course, it's YOUR car, so my color preference has no bearing to your decision.

btw, if you have towing mirrors on your sierra, I want to trade before it's out of your hands if you're local to Fort Lauderdale.

 

By the looks of the terrain, you're probably not in Florida.

Your post confuses me... Did you get a v6 or V8? You have an SS pictured, but mention you got an LT (no such thing as LT1. it's LS, LT, RS, 1SS, 2SS)

 

 

NVM, saw it should look like the SS

Well just to give ya an idea a Marine buddy of mine got a 2010 Camaro RS V6 and had it 5 months before trading it in on a 2010 Camaro SS. He said it was just underpowered for him. Just my $.02

      Very interesting thread. Definitely didn’t expect to see this kind of mileage out of that engine.

      J&L OIL SEPARATOR CO

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.

      2016 Sierra 5.3L L83 new injectors now runs rich.

      By JAI3 · Posted

      I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
