GrimReaperSS,

Thanks for sharing pics and info.

Some very sexy hardware there last weekend.

He stated there were two others with the same issue there as well. Saw one of them getting closed up in the trailer a few minutes later. Unfortunate.....

I know a guy with a new 350R and he tracks the car. It is about to get its 4th warranty replacement engine. He says if this engine doesn't hold up there will be a ZL1 1LE sitting in its spot in the garage.

My question is why isn’t this caught in testing? What are they testing then? Are they being on their phones while they are supposed to be testing?

Here's a few others that did show though....
I would note however I rarely see Camaros' on track days at Road America or Black Hawk the two tracks I frequent.

One of my good buddies just bought a GT350. I hope he doesn't have these issues. He is running Road America on May 12.

Waterman: No problem, I am roughly an hour away from Road America and honestly wish I could build some sort of cabin/little house on the property and just spectate all day every day, haha. Especially on the private rental days from manufacturers or magazines. Unfortunately I am not independently wealthy.....
