LT1 has variable valve timing. Switching to slicks or SC3Rs will have a better payback depending on the track. The Camaro has advantages with its great brakes.

Mid corner to corner exit less compliance steering in the rear, so steering wheel inputs more precise. On the street or track I noticed less swerve on power. Wheels spin but car tracks straighter.

Yes, points well made, the SS 1LE's PTM I would safely assume is designed for the stock tires and brakes. Change the parameters and the system can't make the right decisions. Hence for the OP...

I just mash the throttle basically all the time in race mode on SC3Rs and I hear it cut throttle when it needs to, eg on corner exit. You can't be stupid with it sure, like on carousels, but almost....

Thinking fine, in center part of tire (vs side), and in the thick part of the tread. Steel belts in there. Is it holding air? What's the valley distance in the rain groove for comparison (valley...

Rear sway bar stiffening - ZL1 1LE

Been stock. Thinking to go out on the rear bar for the 15% increase in stiffness. Anyone tried this and have impressions? Looking for a bit more rotation in the turns.

The fluid expands when hot and will get ejected via a vent at the top of the trans. In my experience this only happens with track use. Once enough fluid (a teaspoon here and there) is expelled it...

The OEM arm has a small amount of rubber in the bushing. It's meaningful on the track net/net.

I start at 24-27psi depending on how hot the ambient is. Target hot is 32-35psi.

If you have more than around -2 camber (I have always had -2.7 or more so ok might be higher) then you can wear...

I saw that with too much camber. Also I run 0 toe in front which helps. Lastly too high tire pressure can wear the inside depending on camber/toe.

Inside wear can also indicate driving style. I...

Those are good specs. I get the best tire wear at COTA (every track is different) with -3.0. I tried -2.7 and too much outside wear. -3.2 and too much inside wear. Point is it varies but around...

Plenty of life left. They will cord probably on the outside first. Check after each session. My SC3Rs look like that after 6 sessions.

No worries with the LT4. About 8-10k track miles on mine. COTA has a long carousel (turns 16-18). High speed straights into hair-pins so hard braking. No issues. 15w-50 per GM for high...

The 3.6 V-6 makes a lot of sense to me. It has relatively few parts and is a very efficiently designed engine from a production perspective.

The second reason is that a 4-cyl would be buzzy at a...

You may still see a teaspoon or so if you get it hot. Typically only occurs on the track for me when the temp goes above 200F. It will stop once it equalizes.

Same, corner exit especially, but also mid corner if you are looking for a little rotation. The car just feels oddly held back.

Excited to "progress" to all off.
