HA! Me too... I'm hoping for 1.5 seconds with the 3Rs and better alignment and another 1.5 seconds with the 18" scrubs. I'm not sure on size actually...30/65/18. or 30/68/18. The 68s would fit the gearing quite a bit better...


Since it is off season and all we have is forums to keep us entertained....the overall goal with the car is basically an NA ZLE. I have ready to install -

DSSV suspension
ZLE F/R brakes
Hotchkiss/BMR sway bars
E85 kit

No defined time for this stuff as it depends on much time I can drive it and if I get to my goals times at The Ridge.

What dealer are you working with? I bought and have usually gone through Sunset Chevy in Sumner, but they shop out alignment work and I've been waning on their annual services.

I am also going rear toe arms this winter. Hopefully I can get a chance to chase you this year!!

NA ZLE sounds like a damn good goal to me! And seeing your mod list, you’re not kidding.

Thanks for keeping me entertained! I’m trying to keep my mods under financial control with this car so I’ll have to live vicariously through you.

Titus Will in Olympia....talk to Meisha in service and have Mark Hickman work on it. I literally drop it off, don't ask for estimate and pay whatever, they get it handled and so far, zero issues. (They also installed the solid ZLE subrame bushings for me at no charge when they did the rear axle recall)

I couldn't afford a ZLE so this is what I am going with. And, after driving a couple of ZLEs, yes, they are amazing and I have lapped faster in one, but they do not have the front end feel or the lightness the SS has, IMO.

Laguna Seca is on my bucket list, but I'll likely race it with my motorcycle before my Camaro lol. Who knows...yes, the sound restrictions there are silly.
