I only tracked dayed mine once and never had the issue. with track days vs autocross im a lot more patient on the brakes as im there to have fun and not go for overall lap times so maybe thats why i didnt hit it. Also i maybe got a lap or two without someone in may way.

As for autoX. this is the exact reason i sold mine and went to a civic type R. I couldnt spend another year in the car being nationally competitive knowing once i got to nats i would just have ice mode get in my way.

One solution i had was i had to stop left foot braking with the camaro. It just does not like a lot of throttle then a lot of braking all at once! Planning out your braking zone ahead of time, giving yourself a split second between gas and brake helped me.

Also I ran mine in sport throttle! Track is soo aggressive its kinda stupid. 60% throttle down almost feels like 100% to the floor. going to sport throttle helped make the throttle a lot more linear feeling.

The next solution... get a 2019+ They fixed this issue with the 2019 refresh. Its actually cool because GMs autocross team noticed the issue cause they were having it themselves, and they listened to us.

Its up to you but i would learn with this car and trade in for a 2020 when they fix the refresh. I know for me I will be looking at a 2020 1LE in rally green next year if i can sell the type r at the end of the season!
