Haven't been to NCM since 2017 and this was only my 4th time there with 3 different cars. Anyways, pretty disappointed to not get into <:16 territory, but given the miserable weather, lack of seat time, and the fact I only ran half the sessions I suppose it's not too bad. The car just didn't seem to want to make power at the upper end of 3rd and 4th gear, quite a different experience compared to the F80 M3 of old. Ran a :19 on the 8th lap of the weekend, but was only able to shave another 2 sec overall. The lack of camber seemed to hurt as you can hear the front tires begging for mercy and I wish I would have tried 2nd gear coming out of 6 due to the lack of power in the upper gears. This lap probably would have been a :16 if it wasn't for the traffic which made me slow up on 5 and go off line on 6-7. Sub :15 should be achievable in the spring/fall. Oh well, I'll save some excuses for the next trackday

2nd video is just some good ole Camaro fun. His car is on Hoosiers/camber plates, but we still had a hoot going back and forth. The Camaro presence at this event was excellent, ZLE's and SS1LEs in full force.
