Went to the track Saturday and improved on my best time by about a second to a 1:38.04. If I wasn’t such a pansy on the front and back straight I could drop it some more. Besides the BMR end links the suspension is still stock. Still running on my heavy ass Forgestars with Sport Cup 2's. I’m hoping my new wheel/slick setup is here by the time I go out again. Finally experienced brake fade in the car. But since its a Camaro and Camaro owners are going to Camaro own there hasn’t been a demand for better brake lines. I eventually sent an extra set of factory lines I had to a company that actually got the ball rolling there. So hopefully I’ll have some new ones on soon.

But other than that, the coolant and trans temps hardly move. And the factory brakes to hold up for several laps before you experience any fade. These 2016 Camaro’s are stout.

Someone said I have the fastest time recorded by a Camaro at the track. Which, I mean, who tracks a Camaro anyways.

Bonus picture of my car and my buddy’s Nismo 350Z.

I’ve never been all that into 350Zs but the NISMO cars always get me. I think they look great. (Your black and gold combo still looks fantastic too)

Same here, plus those 350Z Nismo’s are fairly rare, too.

Bitchin’ Camaro, but to be a true Cam e ro it needs more rust in the quarter panels.

Car sounds good, the 6th gens are quick. One of my club members bought a 17 SS 50th edition. Bone stock did 12.2 1/4 mile. A full second faster than my best E/T with my 14 SS. I’m moving more to a drag setup with my 14 SS, doing headers and tune next. Then line lock and drag radials. Want to see how quick i can get the stock pirellis to hook.

These 6th gens are the jack of all trades for cars. I can go do 20+ laps one day and that night go to the local 1/4 and hopefully click off some 10's. Just need to order a new DR setup.

that is a great idea for weight reduction!

I think my Camero is down about 20lbs thanks to the tin worm’s work in my quarters!
