Next Spring I will put on my MRR 1LE replicas. I can still run the DR rears if I want since they will be the same height. On the 1LE wheels I will mount 1LE tire sizes. Trying to decide which tires. I had this set up on my '16 SS and it handled pretty close to my ZL1 without the Ediff. I think that EDiff only is effective on a race track. 40 pounds of extra weight and additional complexity without much benefit the way I run these cars. But a very cool piece of technology in a somewhat reasonably priced car.

305/45 17"
These tires are really great street tires which mostly work at the Drag Strip. Like the Nitto R555Rs. But that tire is a little too tall in a 20" which can throw a code and affect the speedometer. Toyos R888Rs are the third best of the three traction wise. They can mostly hold a stock ZL1 on the street, but they are noisy and the compound is a little too soft when you have to change tires every time you change your oil. Too much work and $$. These ET Streets will mostly hold a stock ZL1 at the Drag Strip when I ran my only 2 11.1s. My goal was to get a 10 mostly stock. I did not get there. I did not go to Cecil often enough. If I knew about how good these tires are on the street I might have bought a M6 ZL1 and still have it. So no regrets about my path and if anything bad happens to my LT1 I will get a used M6 ZL1, and add a RotoFab and these 17s. The color even matches the ZL1 wheel color almost and it is cool driving around with the Drag Stars. People who know what these wheels mean (it's not a spare tire! LOL) come up to me and start talking about thier car or going to Atco.

Two of my runs at Atco lastAugust:
Many thanks to to Dave Milcarek Photography ! He has been taking pics at Atco for quite a while. I might try to dig up the last 5 Camaros that I have run at Atco. A wall of Camaros! Another 50 HP and a tune to get rid of the GM bog I think I could get a little air under 1 wheel. Or am I dreaming? I am also hoping for another Season of drag racing before Atco closes.

I now have completed my LT1 look for now. I went with Nittos in 1LE sizes. The backs are DRs. They Stick on the street! I am still loving the LT1!

Hmmm. While I love the look of my LT1, I know most like a rear spoiler.
But my minimalist view of Aero add ons is they are not functional at real world road speeds. So to me they just add weight with no benefit. But I do agree the back of the current Camaro looks better with a spoiler. So my thought is to carry the red theme to the back of the car. But I do not think a wide red stripe on the trunk will look right. Maybe something carrying the side spear stripe theme. Any ideas out there?

I really enjoyed reading your camaro journey. I want a new Camaro and the information you have shared really helps me. I dont track but I want the LT1 motor and it looks like I may just order an LT1 spec'd to my liking. I own 1998 SS 1LE a 1 of 3 car and an 02 Corvette Z06 but the 6th gen Camaro drivetrain and chassis has me wanting a new one. I really like manuals and this year may be my last opportunity for a new one and I turn 60 this year so maybe time for an upgrade. As far a a rear spoiler goes your car looks good without one but I think I am gonna spec the new lip spoiler from the factory just can't decide on black or the color of the car which will be Riverside Blue. Once again thanks for all of your scoop.

But I recommend better tires than stock. With TC off be prepared to go sideways on the 1-2 NLS shift if you get the M6. Exciting but stupid!

Goodbye Camaro fans. I decided to do my part saving our world moving away from gasoline and move towards a Plugin Hybrid.
Electric will never be as much fun as I had with all of the Mustangs and Camaros, and a TransAm. But to save the world for our grand children I need to finally grow up.
