2017 camaro zl1 manual this is specific for this car model. There is an issue with throttle response when moving out of a stop. Engine stalls and RPM comes back afterward very high. This is dangerous on cross road stops and stop lights. Had few events the car would almost stall and be in a dangerous place in the road with upcoming traffic. This problem can cause a collision. It requires new ignition timing programming of the ecu. Chevrolet is aware of the issue for a long time and has not issued any fixes yet.

When taking off from a stop, at normal speed, the engine bogs and almost stalls. This requires a re application of the clutch and more throttle to prevent stalling. This happens almost daily. It has happened while pulling into traffic from a driveway and almost caused an accident. I have been driving with a clutch for over 30 years on both cars and motorcycles. There is a real problem with the torque management system on this car. This problem affects many of this model of camaro there is an online forum that has an in depth discussion of the problem: http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=498180&page=10

The manual transmission bogs in first gear under aggressive acceleration from a standing start. This most often occurs when pulling out into traffic. I have had the vehicle almost stall on numerous occasions iwhen pulling out into traffic. I believe the cause is excessive torque management in the vehicle's ecu program.
