Nice ride overall, noticed some hesitation in first gear, could not peal out, but it bogged Is there a fix for that? handling is nice too it has a real trunk.
any other funnies with the 05, 06, 07 ?s
I have a 93 5.0 supercharged (8#) ex cop car. its getting old. Guess they put in really stiff springs in the cop cars, it rides *much* rougher. still the 93 is quicker off the line than the 06 GT, keene bell has lots of low end torque.
I think the newer GTs have traction control and with it engaged it is hard to get the tires spinning. It can be turned off by the driver, if desired.
Like they said, it has traction control. You can hit a switch and turn it off. Unfortunately, it doesn't go completely off; it goes down to about 25%. I have not seen a computer reprogram that changes that. But since I don't own one, I haven't really looked for it.
One thing I did not like is the loud mufflers on the car, I like stealth, toying with the mufflers to make it sound badder than it is-- is bullshit. Also the traction control was off and it still bogged in first, heard somewhere there is a kit to fix this, but lost it. Still thinking about buying one.
The S197's have a torque management system (not to be confused with the traction control!). It can make it feel sluggish off the line... and also there is the throttle delay... The fix is to reprogram the car... you can pick up an SCT X-Cal2 for around $400... Personally I recommend Lidio from Alternative Auto... Here's his info on reprogramming:
I agree, The LESS noise the better!!!
There is no upside to changing to a louder exhaust system simply for the noise.
I'm into all go and as little noise as possible, I have already suffered irreparable hearing loss damage, I know the value of my hearing.
Learned that as a kid when I doubled my horsepower and halved my noise with a new engine and a new engine to bumper dual exhaust system, all of a sudden, I was invisible to all the same cops who used to start looking for me before they could see me...
