Everyone here has some really good points to learn from. I have had Camaros as long as I have been driving (starting with 3rd gens). I have done drag racing with them, auto cross sessions, and HPDE track events. I must say that the track events have by far been the most fun I have ever had in these cars (and I have done a lot of stuff with them)!
Though I have yet to put my 6th gen on the track, I am really looking forward to getting to eventually. Track day insurance will be a big cost compared to the 3rd gens I have been running. I also worry about someone hitting me on the track, but considering the way people drive on the roads these days, there may not be that much more of a risk...
Another expense one can consider when doing track events would be a trailer. I bought a car trailer for the main purpose of hauling my cars to the track. The trip to the track I have been running at is just over 4 hours away. Consider I have been running one of my 3rd gens that has over 200k on the original motor, I figured I may be pushing my luck on making it back home. There are many events out there and some are way more affordable than others. I have enjoyed SCCA's Track Night in American events.
Use the track events to learn your car and refine your driving skills as well as defensive driving skills to better prepare yourself in case you have to make an evasive maneuver. It can help you better learn how your car could react as well.
These cars are made to be enjoyed. We all have different opinions on what that may mean. Could be just staring at them in a garage, car shows, just cruising, or going all out on a track!
