Did you switch to track camber for this event? (Been curious as how accurate the -1.7 before and -2.7 after is w/o heading to an alignment shop). I'll be out on my 1st HPDE for the year with the car first weekend of March.

you could set the exhaust in “stealth mode” and keep the hammer down!

You really should put it on an alignment rack. The toe will most likely be all out of whack.

I thought it still opens up in stealth mode at wot because it can't hold all the exhaust pressure?

Honestly man I didn't bother checking the alignment. I just took my Jack and Sockets to the track and turned the front shocks to their Track Camber setting. After the trackday I jacked it up again and switched back. I have some toe plates at home I can use to double check the toe and Camber. I'll get back to you on that.

My fastest lap was a 1:43 with a little bit of listing at turn 6 and with a passenger in the car. There was an old guy from England that was vacationing down there that was at the track. He was admiring my car and asking questions about it so I decided to give him a ride on my past session. Ironically enough it was my fastest lap. I still have a lot to improve on, but it was my first time out ever with the car.

Also, do you think the wrap is as durable as the clear bra? I'd really luv a hugger orange with black ss stripes Camaro. Wanted it since forever, at least 30 years. Concerned about long term durability with a wrap.
Hey man so I already have some little chips on the front of my wrap. My installer told me that the colored wrap is basically the clear wrap but with pigment. I probably just notice the rock chips because the normally color of my car is white and it stands out from the blue wrap. The white underneath looks to be fully intact though. I think the clear will hold up better over time just because if there are small tears from rocks hitting it you won't be able to see them whereas you'll notice your cars natural color bleed out from the color of the wrap when it's torn.

Haha did you find out first hand how fast it goes through gas on the track?

I limped in to the pits after my third session with the car with about 10 miles to empty.

I assumed it was forced closed at all moments including WOT. I haven’t tried it as I always run the exhaust in “Sport” or “Track”.

High 1:38 in my SS1LE, not sure about the ZL1 as I haven’t tracked it yet.

also, in regards to running in stealth mode, it specifically says somewhere not to drive WOT while in that mode.
