Hi Cornerspeed , If you come to RA let me know , would love to watch you race , You should be able to go about as fast as the car can do in the straights .

You hope to make it back? man it is the greatest track in North America , Your Camaro would really appreciate if you took it where it was meant to be 4.2 miles of awesome-ness

Keeping in mind I have a 2010, in the beginning I would push it on the straightaway and would see speeds around 140-5 mph, but the front end got real light. So now I try not to go over 135 mph in order to keep the front end from floating. If/when I vent the hood I may push it again.

Here are a few vids from a rainy weekend.....
Foggy...

Raining and super wet....

Its about lapping not racing. Its about the experience, the enjoyment. I think if you tried you would find out it is fun.

I live 30 minutes from road america. Plan on taking my 1LE there this year.

Maybe I will see you up there this year. It is always nice to have a few more Camaro's around to show those Ford boys how it is done.

Here are a few shots from there as well.

Between turn 2 and 3

Coming out of turn 14 up the front stretch.

Coming out of turn 5.

BTW,if you think we need a separate AutoX, Road Course, HPDE section then go here.....

You have a beautiful car Sir.

Have you thought about a front splitter to help reduce front end lift? Maybe one like the 1LE or similar.

TBone · 02-02-2014, 03:27 PM

You mean like one of these? lol.

Yup, it is sitting in the garage. This pic is from an earlier configuration of the car.

I am trying to figure out how to attach it via "Zeus" screws, or some other temporary way, and then use the scoops for air to the brakes. I just never find the time.
