"I'm not here asking for your help in determining what I need, and what I don't need. I already know what I need." But the main thing is this: youve messed with a near perfect car and now it oversteers. No it is not due to "skinny" tires as folks here run slicks on 10 inch rims on stock cars. It is also not due to lower weight as that in itself wont produce oversteer. Youve simply messed up a well balanced car. And now youve convinced yourself that aero will fix it. But be careful as aero only works its magic in fast corners and you still need well balanced mechanical grip for slower ones. So...really...you actually do not know what you need. Now back to my questions please |

Plenty of people competing in TT2 have done very similar weight and suspension modifications, and are placing respectably. I don't think that's the issue. It could be, but I don't think it is. In my experience, aero is the go-to fix for oversteer in corners, but this is my first foray into big V8s. I have been in the community for awhile, and I've noticed that modified Camaros (of all generations) are much few and further between than modified examples of other makes/models. What I want to know, is why. What have you guys tried, and decided wasn't an improvement? |

Oh...i am finally gettin it eh? Hehehe Why dont we bring it back to what YOU posted here vs avoiding giving answers to my questions instead. Unless you want folks to think that what you post is BS. In which case this is a hoax. Sort of. Just like you being a test race car driver - sort of. |

Also, I'm not sure what you're basing your qualification for "needing" downforce on...look at time trial cars. They have MASSIVE wings, splitter, what makes them "need" more downforce? |

Is it the same with having spent 200 hrs driving 3 different 1LE s in one season? Or being "extremely accomplished"? For goodness sake dude i know 3 pro guys who have won LeMans and Rolex 24 and none of them would even dare describe themselves as such. My advice (sincerely) to you is this: 1) be humble 2) dont exaggerate 3) ask your questions on a racing series forum that runs Camaros. Scca nasa etc. I am sure those guys will be happy to help ya out. Peace. |

As i had mentioned before, aero will not fix your mechanical grip imbalance. |

On massive slicks....and if you can seriously put a Nascar oval "turn" in the same category as the carousel at Road America, then you should really consider changing your username...

But keep in mind they also run those cars at the Glen and Sonoma and trucks at Mosport. Check their lap times. You may be surprised. As to "massive" slicks...they are anything but and equal about a 295 street tire. Pretty much a Camaro category size wise. And a far cry from many other street cars. If i were you id fix the mechanical grip imbalance first then seek advice re additional aero on racing series forums that youre planning on running. Good luck and have fun racing Camaros! |
