lol, the '11 I test drove did the same thing on a WOT 1-2 shift. Massive chirpage was erupting from the rear tires going into 2nd and then the advancetrac light started blinking and the car started wheel hopping. I wish my GT had that kind of power!
and Lava Red is an interesting color... I saw it in person this weekend. It's very black until the sun hits it and there are red metallic flakes all over. Very cool.

I've had that happen; it happens when you don't get back on the throttle soon enough before letting the clutch out in 2nd. The engine revs drop WAY down real quick and the car lurches forward, and the EEC freaks out because it sees the RPMs dropping too fast. The solution is to not lift as much during the 1-2 shift.

yeah when it happened, I was half way through a big left turn and was pretty confident that if I had gotten on it quicker, the back end would have gotten sideways on me. I delayed getting on the throttle again until I was more or less pointed straight and I guess at that point, it was too late.

Another change for 2012 is that the Security Package has gone from $395 to $695 and is called "RR Sensing SYS / Security Pak. It still includes: 1) Active anti-theft system, 2) Wheel Locking kit, but also adds 3) Reverse Park Assist (Backup sensors that beep when you start getting close to another object; the closer you get the more rapid the beeping).

i had noticed that also. im not going for that option because if i ever wanted to put an aftermarket bumper on i would have to make adjustments to put in the sensors. And as a mechanic, i HATE wheel locks. i take wheels off over 15 cars a week and i hate it when people have wheel locks.
