LIES ALL LIES!! Everyone knows these new 5.0's are the greatest car known to man and have no issues what so ever. Even proven with no mods they can run 9's all day trapping 198+ mph!!!

Good find!

Nothing made in China is worth a shit...nothing.

I own a Chinese scooter and can vouch for that

Cheap to mod and fix all the crap parts though

Should have stayed with the Tremec 5 speed ...

I'll sick with Detroit (or Canada as the case may be) autos all the way...

FWIW, I'm seriously considering a 2012 5th gen Camaro as my next new car....

Anyone here remember a time when you did'nt have to look so hard for something "Made in the USA" ?

Our BCM has, "Made in Singapore" on it..

It's a crap shoot really on what is or what is'nt made in china anymore..

Fawkin' ridiculous..

yeah its a Getrag box, you'd have hoped its made in germany. Like anything else, cost, cost, cost.

i'd still buy a 5.0 over the ugly, heavy ass camaro. they will get it resolved and it will be a better car.

GM has had it's share of issues. look at the issues with the solstice/sky differentials which were made in the USA (i believe). they couldn't even fix them, it had to wait for a complete redesign....

my 06 solstice was leaking before it even hit 1k miles then after having it "fixed" it leaked AGAIN after less than 500 miles.... FTL! traded it after that.

**parnelligq** · 04-17-2011, 05:51 PM

China...woshoo and egg rolls, damn good, everything else SH!T.

**big hammer** · 04-17-2011, 07:31 PM

won tons are delicious

**310stanger** · 04-17-2011, 07:45 PM

I wonder why they didnt go with a tremec 6spd anyways. I did drive one of these new 5.0s with this trans and it shifted real nice. I have to say though, if I bought this car and this was gonna be an issue, I'd be real pissed if had to make multiple visits to get assorted trans repairs, and replacements made for the same issue. They did so many good things and got this car right, to have constant trans problems, from a manual at that is ridiculous. What the fuck were they thinking putting a fucking chinese made trans behind a powerhouse engine like that?

It wouldn't be so bad if the companies passed the savings on to everyone, but they don't.

If cars were consisted largely of parts from China then it should be viewed as "disposable" and only around $5k....not putting china crap in leading us to believe its a 10-15 year car and raping is for $30k...

I have to deal with this china crap every day and it's a nightmare...nothing is consistent, hardly works, and the materials they used are just pure crap.

A 5th grader can do a better job building something...
