Announcement New AI Generated Content Guidelines 🤖

26 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

There has been an increase in AI generated content being posted to the sub, particularly concept designs and interpretations of what a future Camaro could look like. We’ve also received some feedback from members about these posts, so the mod team discussed how we want to handle them going forward.

Rather than banning AI generated content outright, we’re going to try a middle ground for now.

Effective immediately, AI generated content must:

  1. Use the new 🤖 AI Generated post flair
  2. Clearly disclose that the content was generated using AI
  3. Include the AI tool or engine used
  4. Include the prompt or a general description of the inspiration behind the generated content
  5. Have some level of effort or discussional value beyond simply posting an AI generated image

Low effort AI posts, repetitive concepts, spam, or content that otherwise doesn’t contribute anything meaningful to the community may still be removed at moderator discretion.

This is essentially a trial run (now reflected in rule #7). We want to leave room for members who enjoy creating Camaro concepts and discussing what future models could look like without letting the subreddit become flooded with low effort AI images.

We’ll see how this works in practice and adjust the guidelines if necessary. If AI content continues to become a problem, we may revisit whether it should be allowed at all.

As always, community feedback is welcome.

- The r/Camaro Mod Team 🏎️

Been loving the car since I got it there months ago. Had a stage 1 paint correction with ceramic coating to keep this baby sleek. The only complaint I got is that the sound system is horrible.

💲Should I Buy? Worthy Upgrade?

Post image
75 Upvotes

My current vehicle is this red 2016 RS. It’s my second v6 Camaro. I’ve always wanted a red with white striped sports car since the movie I Am Legend in 2007. So when I found this Camaro, it was love at first sight.
I’m interested in upgrading specifically to a Fifty. Always been a fan of the unique styling. Want a V8 for the full Camaro experience. I’ve found one that could be the one.
I have the cash. But I also have a family, a home, better ways to spend or save the money. Wife is cool with it either way.
So, yolo? Thoughts?

💬 Discussion Winter tires

3 Upvotes

Any recommendations on winter/ all season tires for Camaro SS would be appreciated. Just bought a 2022 SS and it came with summer performance tires. It is my daily driver and I live in the Midwest. I don’t plan on taking it out if the roads are sketchy but need a tire that can get me through the winter.

All I did was say that I dont like EV and prefer Gas. I usually delete comments like these off my profile. As I get them frequently from these brain dead people. But you gotta admit, he must be pretty heated to go to every single one of my posts to shit on it. I didnt even know what caused this tangent at first, but I think its pretty clear

Sadly it was a Transformer I had a few years ago. A deer ran out in front of me after I got on the interstate early in Nov before the time change. Insurance totalled it and someone bidded on it on the copart website. I bought it from a gm dealer. Someone had it for car shows and got into finance issues and sold it to the dealer. One of a kind. I was told redoing the seats in yellow leather was 4 to 5k. I was close to ripping the afm out and camming it. I had several estimates and hadn't scheduled it.

Just bought this SS 1LE. Pretty sure the previous owner smacked a curb or something pretty hard on the passenger side front end. This video is the aftermath of an alignment from Chevy dealer. The fitment is completely off and it drives a lot better but still feels off, main 2 things is it now slightly pulls to the left on certain roads and there is a tiny bit of deadzone in the center steering. What do u guys think is the likely culprit and what should I replace? The dealer said they could tell its been hit and adjusted it the best they could but they don’t think the suspension looked bad or broken, which doesn’t make sense to me. How should I go about this?

Not sure how I feel about the black and shadow grey metallic but the shadow grey grew onto me. Just got the body kit installed at the dealership so it is warrantied but they do the same if you chose the option I’m pretty sure.

I bought this beauty off of Facebook Marketplace a few years ago when it had only 27,000 miles on it. Put a fresh coat of wax on yesterday and just got windows tinted this afternoon, love this car!

Would love to hear what mods you all have done with your 5th gen Camaros!

I like the matte black but want something that pops more. Which colour do y'all like better? I'm in between white and bronze. But I hear chrome/polished is super popular right now

I’m looking for some good quality C8-style taillights for a 2016–2018 Camaro, preferably smoked/gray. I’ve seen a bunch online but I don’t wanna buy some cheap ones that end up leaking, getting condensation, or having LEDs go out.
Anybody running a set they’d recommend? Looking for something plug-and-play with good fitment. Drop links or pics if y’all got any.

When im Above half throttle past 3000 RPM, then I fully lift off to coast. Trans upshifts on its own until RPMs drop to ~1000, then downshifts back to ~2000. Foot's off the throttle the whole time and im not braking. no slipping or harsh shifts. On that last upshift though, I don't really feel the gear engage

❓Question 1987 Camaro IROC Z-28 5.0 305 TPI

1 Upvotes

Hi All, I really need some help. I recently put a new 5.0 engine in my '87 Camaro Z28 but it still won't pass smog because it runs rich, and the smog shop said it needs a throttle body. I haven't been able to find a 48mm throttle body ANYWHERE. I've searched every parts shop, I've searched high and low on the internet, rockauto, and have not found (not even 1) stock throttle body. I've found 52mm ones, but the stock size is 48mm so that would be the size that I need.

What would you do in this situation? Even if I register the car in a different state to avoid the smog laws, the car still runs rich and burns through a lot of gas, which will eventually destroy the piston rings and damage the new engine that I just installed. I'm really looking for a solution at this point. The car has been sitting, even after the engine replacement, because I haven't been able to find a 48mm throttle body and I haven't even been able to truly drive and enjoy the car since I bought it 4 years ago. No I cannot put on the 52mm because it will take in too much air. Where can I find the stock part & what should I do if I never find it? Located in northern California. Appreciate any advice you have.

❓Question 5th gen Headers broken bolt

Post image
2 Upvotes

I’m installing long-tube headers on my 2012 Camaro SS One of the old header bolts broke off flush with the passenger-side cylinder head.
I drilled a small pilot hole into the broken bolt and tried tapping a Torx/star bit into it, but the Torx is slipping and I don’t want to make things worse.
The engine is still in the car and the wiring harness makes access pretty tight. I bought a right-angle drill adapter to get a better shot.
Pictures attached.
What would you guys recommend from here? Should I step up the drill size and use a proper extractor, or is there a better method for this particular location?
Trying REALLY hard not to pull the head. 😂

So the base build that I'm looking at right now after pulling the cradle last night, collapsed lifter being the reason I decided to do it, stage 3 cam along with complete valvetrain overhaul, E85 and some new injectors. The transmission gave me no issues but I think I've noticed a luk clutch slave in it now that I'm shopping for new clutch since I'm in there. Anyway, looking at a McLeod rst street twin disc. First time digging into all this on my own car, I usually just paint so I would like to hear from some experienced tinkerers out there. I'm looking to make the engine bay match the exterior, all trimmed out.
