Saw today that by 2012 GM will install software in all its automatic transmission vehicles
that will disable the accelerator if the brake is applied.
So much for doing tire smoking burn outs .................
FT.com / UK - GM to install override for brake systems
im sure thatll be disabled in the tuning :lol:
well i am glad i have a 99.:)
I was thinking the same, but with all the who-ha about this these daysQuote:

Who needs brakes to do a burn out :lol:
Just install a line loc kit or disable the brake switch when wanting to burn out.
its still ridiculous that gm is doing that, regardless of how it can be turned off
Thats no change, a stock chevy cant even do a burn out anyway with there tune..
That could be a little tricky on a boat ramp with a heavy boat. :hyper2:
Thats like the new vehicles with traction control. My buddies 08's will chirp and then stop even with it disengaged.
BUT, I THINK if you click the E-brake down one click it deactivates it entirely.
Good thing there's an aftermarket world.
sure,im the slowest blue SS you've ever seen (for now).. and i cant do one, even with my lvl 5 and 2800 TCS converter, and a nelson tune.. at least not when its dry outQuote:

whaaaat? you must not be doin it right. I'm not even tuned and i can do oneQuote:

Luckily my Bullet isn't very heavy and I have AWD because some ramps are STEEP and slippery when wet.
so can you tune this out?
Yea its tunable, but im not sure if its like the new dmax were if you put a tune on the truck, onstar will tell gm the the tune has been changed and you will void your warranty.
Line lock would fix that in a heart beat. :)
OnStar as far as I know doesnt moniter the tune on the ECM/TCM.Quote:
