stupid question about my camaro

[Jpx87]

ive always wonder when you would need to use the 2nd gear start button next to the cigarette lighter. mines a 96 i dunno if they got rid of it on any models. i was just curious about that.

Snow..etc.

makes you start off in second gear to avoid slipping in wet/snowy/sandy situations.

Mine has it, too. But, I try to avoid snow and ice whenever possible, so I have never used it.

yep. honestly ive never used it. oh well.

[vanbibber]

it works. not well. but it works in a pinch. when i had my 3.4 it turned itself on all the time. it was a PITA. my T/A has a trans perform button instead. i wonder if that would be a good thing in snow? [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img]

I have that switch, and mine's a 5 sp MANUAL!

My camaro has spent most of its life in the blizzard-belt (Michigan, Boston, etc.)and SGS has been pretty useful. When combined with the limited slip diff, I've been able to power through just about any snow storm that has come my way.

If you've upgraded your tires to 245's or wider, your car will spin the wheels under even light throttle on bad roads. While this might make it a lot easier to live out any drifting fantasies, it makes it really tough to drive safely in really bad conditions.
