He's big on the new Camaro and they have a GT350 there too. I guess the torch has been passed from the Germans to the Americans for racing ability now.

Pretty wild how quickly it's swung, haha. German cars have gotten way too complicated for their own good (lol... German engineering) and while they have good performance they don't have astounding performance or race worthiness now.

Mike (the engineer), was saying how excited he was once he saw the tub of the new Camaro. He said that if you took the tub from a 991 Porsche and compared it to the new Camaro, you would see that the identical materials, welding strategies and construction are used between them. Mike was pretty clear about how what GM is doing right now is absolutely insane. He did mention the GT350 in there too for how capable it is around a track. I told him about my 997 and the mustang gt and he just laughed and said no contest. The new Camaro is capable of taking out GT4s and the 1LE is a second off their GT3.

Also, my BRZ was slowly reeling in the GT4 when we were at the track day... Not impressed, haha. Slightly kidding, for a stock car, the Camaro keeping up with the GT4 is awesome. Gearing is truly awful on the GT4, I think that (and the apparent understeer) really hinders its potential |

Camaro is a 3rd gear car. Even with 3.73's...just wide gearing. Not much shifting needed.

I'm essentially out of PTO, but maybe I can do the fall Shenandoah event since it's on a weekend. If we're going to do something it'll need to be signed up for soon before everything is sold out, lol |

Oh, some tasty caster camber plates just came out for the car. Super tempting. Between them and the DSC, the car would be a world beater with the wheels, tires and brakes I want. Need more funds buying a house soon-ish and moving further south so I'll have a garage to store the car in. It may end up becoming a weekend track toy soon at this rate of change haha.

Thank you, dude it's got a 1.5 car garage with a wide driveway to make pulling cars in and out easier. Plenty of room to work

After over 6 months of waiting, the last pre-ordered item on my list has finally arrived: The 1LE short shifter. I won't be able to have this on the car in time for tomorrow's autocross, but will definitely have it installed over the next couple of weeks as it's really a missing piece to the car.
Also, while no real E85 stations exist up here in the DC Metro area, where I'm moving to has A LOT of them. So I'll be eventually getting the Flex Fuel kit for the car too.

Had a blast today, thank you for coming down (although Zach wasn't as happy that he lost to a GT350 that badly, haha). We'll definitely have to head to VIR next and get a comparison drive in soon.

I'm a little surprised it doesn't have flex-fuel from the factory, GM was ALL about that for a few years, haha.
Good to see you today! You have any videos to upload? VIR next year & a comparison drive sounds like a good idea. Prepare to be whelmed |
