Questions On My Z28
On my instrument panel it says low trac, and skip shift. Now what the hell does it mean?

Low traction? Dont know about that, but skip shifting is a thing that was added to manual transmissions made to save on gas.. basicly that when you shift at a certain RPM you shift from 2nd to 4th to save gas. There are kits out there that can delete this though.

Re: Questions On My Z28
no rally, auto's do not have skip shift... that'd be retarted lol
it's prolly just there cuz GM is lazy and used the same console for both.
As for low trac, go powerslide a turn or give it a lot of gas on water or leaves, and watch that light come on

I've done that before.. in my Camaro, I was making a left and decided to gas it cause you know the 3.1 is only so strong, MAN I hit like the slightest bump, caused my wheels to lose traction and man I was going left and right, thankfully no one was next to me in the lane. 
Good times.
