I'm sure you've experienced it but this car gets a lot of attention. I can't tell you how many people shadow me on the highway to take video, or the dad with a car load of boys wanting me to blip the throttle, which I obliged to lots of cheers and thumbs up. Or the guy at the gas station that looked at my car for about a minute then said, "I bet you get shitty gas mileage". Great compliment.

My first track event is Hallett in OK in a few weeks. The most powerful car I've owned was about 400 hp on race gas (1M with lots of mods). This car is stupid fast. For now anyway. I plan to keep it bone stock so I can roll it into the dealer if anything breaks. We'll see how long that lasts.

This car feels proper on the track. You will realize thats what it made for. Do your self a favor a buy ps4 for the street. Ride quality improves tremendously.

No idea why ride quality would change enough to be noticeable.

I have a set of PS4s for the street and swap back and forth with GY pretty regular. I do highly recommend them to keep your track tires ready for the track, but ride quality isn't going to change IMHO.

Done. PS4 mounted on oem wheels and these are my track shoes with F3R. Color is acid orange metallic from the 2016 BMW M4 GTS (wheels and 1/2 cage).

First track event is Hallett 9/12-13.

Those will look great on the track.

This is the 1st Camaro I've had that I've kept pretty much stock. Until I need more on the track there just isn't any need. You're going to love it.

Pretty sure -1.0 is less than factory camber. You want as much negative camber upfront as you can get. I ran my SLE at -2.4 front and 0 toe and still ate the outside of my front tires. I can only imagine would it do to your super soft 3Rs with -1.0.

Except he has a ZLE and can crank an extra -2.4 into it so probably not wearing the outsides.

-1.0 was just for my highway drive home. It’s sitting now with -2.7 rt and -2.4 lt. My next two events are CCW.

Anyone know the thread pitch of that bolt to screw in to adjust camber with? I may give that method a shot during next adjustment.

Best Regards,
Dave

Congrats on an amazing machine. I recently sold my SS 1LE and purchased a ZL1 1LE. The difference is stark. I loved the SS 1LE and was a little concerned I might be making a mistake letting that car go. After owning and driving this ZL1.. it was worth every dime.

You are spot on about the attention she gets. It’s like having a celebrity in your car. Everywhere I go in this car, people are staring, stopping, waving, honking, taking pics, starting conversations about it, etc;. Hard not to notice with that BAW (big ass wing) I suppose.
