Spoke to one of chassis engineer at Milford about a year ago, and he was preaching how good I4 turbo's chassis balance is. I4 may not be the best car for drag strip in stock form, but it is very capable car for road course. Besides, you don't have to have the fastest car to have fun on track. It's all about finding your and your car's limit safely and have fun with like minded group of people. You'll have ton of fun!

All kinds of suspension mods -- blower mods, cooling mods, etc. -- just too many to list ;o)

Thus, the Z/LE (ZL1, 1LE, Z28 parts + some aftermarket) ;o) ZL1 wheels, brakes and the goodyears

590 RWHP right now -- will know Thursday the new RWHP...

We've moved forward a little bit on that. We're going to open parade laps only to folks who've paid for the track day. The benefit being that all novice and intermediate drivers will be allowed to take friends and family out for a paced lap without helmets.

Going to bring my old 2014 car (Z/28) don't think the new 2018 car (ZL1 1LE) will be out in time.

Amen. I've taken mine on the AutoX for my first time ever in october and it handled much better then my 5th Gen ever did but I was running a 20 pace technical AutoX course in rain so I was even more impressed by my novice skills and how it did in the shit weather. I think an I4 would do fine on the road course honestly stock it has some torque management limitations but if you get rid of those with a tune it's anybody's guess.

So on another option can there be a possible time to take some pictures of a car on the track and not run around the track before or after? I understand that people paid extra, but a photo op would nice and we are going to be there for track day.

We won't be able to do that while the track is considered "hot"...too dangerous, even on a parade lap sort of deal...I'd recommend coming to find me in the morning, and we might be able to figure something out with NCM MSP.
