Hates Speed Bumps - 2014 SLP Panther Camaro Extended-Term Road Test

2014 SLP Panther Camaro: Hates Speed Bumps

Could 26, 2014

Just primarily based on my introductory animal sciences courses, I’;d have guessed that the major predators for a panther would be, in no order: Man, deforestation and very large snakes.

Turns out, nonetheless, that the natural enemy of the Panther Camaro is the speed bump.

As opposed to previous Chevys from the final couple of decades, the issue is not clearance. The SLP Panther makes it over the speed bumps just fine. No scraping. The dilemma isn’;t even the initial hit. That gets soaked up very nicely. The problem is with the rebound. Not confident what it is about speed bumps (and certain speed-bump-sized road imperfections that are prevalent about L.A.), but as soon as the wheel is accomplished going up, it feels like it just freefalls down. KERTHUD! I’;ve actually changed my route home to stay away from certain bespeedbumped neighborhoods.

Compared to how well the SLP Panther rides, this is odd. But it really is a modest tradeoff for a auto this capable, controllable and enjoyable.
