I figured that one out quickly. My favorite was when I was leaving the dealer in the Camaro and getting on the freeway. I reached down to slide the seat foward, and grabbed a lever. I didn't even know what I was grabbing. I pulled it and pitched foward. [img]graemlins/dunce.gif[/img]

I had been driving the Firebird for eight months and never noticed the lever. I don't know how I missed it.

that's because firebird owners aren't too keen when it comes to simple things.
glad to see some of them smarten up when they buy a Camaro though [img]tongue.gif[/img]

it was cool when i found that hidded retractible cup holder next to the air conditioning knobs. Works hella good.

well i checked today and i dont even know if my car has TCS, i know it has ABS. and when i loose traction, the Traction light comes on, but i dont know if it controls the traction or it just tells me im losing traction.

[AllTheGoodNamesAreGone]

yeah, just becuase you have the light dosent meen you have TCS..

The switch will be next to the "CAMARO" emblem on the center dash, next to the fog light switch and above the radio..

If you can break the tires loose in a cloud of smoke and the "TCS OFF" light is not illuminated, then you do not have TCS.

FWIW: You cannot have "SGS" (Second Gear Start) and "TCS".

I have SGS, I push the clutch in and put the shifter in second, then feather the clutch out while I give it some gas [img]tongue.gif[/img] .

My "Low Traction" light comes on whenever my front wheels loose traction, like if I go into ABS or go over a rough road and I don't have Traction Control.

The ABS system is what trips the low trac light. It's a warning to the driver that braking could be difficult/dangerous.

With traction control, the low trac light is also illuminated if the rear wheel(s) slip (with TCS On). If TCS is on, the PCM will close the throttle body to a pre-determined level until traction is regained. LS1's have the throttle controlled TCS in addition to the PCM pulsing the brake(s) with the traction problem.
