Anyone flat towing the new Camaro?
Manual transmission of course, just wondering. I tow a Miata even though no one recommends it but have had no problems. I need a bigger car but not ready for a SUV. Bob

Recreational Vehicle Towing
Caution - Dolly towing or dinghy towing the vehicle may cause damage because of reduced ground clearance. Always put the vehicle on a flatbed truck or trailer.
The vehicle was neither designed nor intended to be towed with any of its wheels on the ground. If the vehicle must be towed, see Towing the Vehicle
From Remco: Must be towed using a trailer - We tow a 2013 Challenger RT from time to time. We have put about 1500 miles on it and it has been ok. I believe it has the same 6 speed trans as the Camaro. It was listed in the owners manual and Motorhome as towable in 2012-2014 with a stick. My understanding is that a few had mishaps with them and they supposedly took them off the list. I stopped and talked to a Service manager about adding some additive or overfilling the trans a little for extra lube and he checked with the Midwest Engineer. The engineer said fill and do exactly as the manual says. I treated it like I do my Malibu automatic, I started it and ran it in neutral for several minutes to lube things and then just shut it off. I change Trans fluid each year before I have towed it. If traveling a longer day, I stop and run it again to circulate the lube. I am not sure that Tremec supports that concept but it has worked so far for us.
Blue Ox made a tow bracket for it and it was not that bad of an install. It towed very well and behaved well behind the coach. Hope this may help, Happy Trails Bert - Make sure it can be towed safely. Check the owners manual.
Not all manual transmissions can be dinghy towed.
