HOT ROD - What's going to break on Camaro
Just putting a tip out. The June issue of HOT ROD mag has a article on what's going to break (when you start modding) on the 2010-2011 Camaro.
It covers several topics relating to engine, transmission, suspension and rear end. Go Ted and Jannetty Racing for contributing to the article! (Yes, I had my work done at Jannetty). Advice and tips from several other well known names and brands we are familiar with that are on Camaro5.

Tuners huh? Sad day when Hot Rod magazine refers to "hot rodding" as "tuning."
 Can we all collectively forget that the 90s car culture existed at all?

Then what are they doing when you take the car to the shop and get a tune? Hot Rodding it?

Did you guys really need a magazine to tell you that pushing 700 to the wheels was going to disintegrate a stock block?
And since when are people who buy camaros/mustangs/challengers "tuners?" |

Once you start modding and pushing over 600-700 hp, something in the block or drivetrain is gonna go boom if you haven't upgraded it from stock. That simple.
