HSA is garbage. I have to time the light so I’ll be ready when the HSA turns off.I can usually count to 3 before it releases. I just bought a 2013 Camaro but I think once I run up the mileage, I won’t buy another Chevy. You put HSA on a sports car, quite often driven by people who have driven manual transmissions for years. It’s a shame that you care so little about your customer base that you would put technology on this car that is obviously not calibrated properly. I have to ride the clutch and feather the gas waiting for it to release and prevent the rollback it’s actually suppose to prevent.
I’ve read other car forums that have HSA but apparently know how to calibrate it for a positive driving experience. I’m still waiting for the list of rollback accidents that have occurred in the past few years that precipitated this less than functional addition.
Too bad you put so much time and effort into this. Would have been nice if that time had been spent on upholstery as my 2 month old car has a split seam on the seat back.
