A phatty Camaro holds the nasa MA TT2 VIR record (1:56.27)
I'm very fortunate to have had not once but twice set the VIR TT2 lap record this past weekend. I'll create a separate post about the Camaro Klaus wing kit (hint: it's tremendous if you're a track rat) but wanted to share with you all that I (finally) was able to get this big 4000lb hunk of metal to the top of the leaderboard and into the nasa record books. Some of you may have seen Ben Grambau's C5 'Vette get a bit of love for his record last year, so it's an honor to hold the record at the moment. I'm still learning the aero but targeting 55s later this year.
I dynoed 529 peak HP at the wheel, so the car is running a little tired. I'll need to check plugs and cats to see what could be robbing power. The balance of the car is pretty phenomenal w/ the 72" GTMax wing and Aero Sport Concepts splitter. I drove it to and from the track, full interior and the only mods that have been made are:
For those interested here is the video of the lap: Pics of the car attached. Please excuse the blue trunk. I used a junk trunk while sorting out the mounting. This is a trunk-mounted kit. I'm not a sponsored car so all of the stuff that's on here is at my own expense to go faster. Happy to answer any questions about how this stuff works on track! |

Congrats! Records like that show the world the ZLE is the best bang for the buck track car ever... Your new wing and splitter look perfect, and the price is very reasonable. I'm surprised you haven't replaced your seats with lightweights and maybe rear seat delete. Do you still drive it around town or to work?
I see you run A7 vs R7, I considered those for extra grip but seems like they would wear out fast the way you run them and that's expensive. Did you get a set just for this TT event, a few hot laps to go for the record? Or do you run these for multiple sessions/days and if so how long do they last? I've been using DH take-offs lately, the price is tough to beat and they have excellent grip but not like fresh A7s--those stick like glue after 1 lap or less. |
