+1

I agree with Ra Fa!!!

NY5THGEN would definitely love to see you and your #6 Sunoco Camaro in person at one of our meets, which keep getting bigger and bigger!!!

Ra FA's signature pic is from one of our very 1st meets in December 2009...my car is there, as well as a few other members...we had 11 5thgens that cold day last December

When we had our last meet for the season on November 14th a few weeks ago, we over 60+ 5thgens!!!...you should check out the Regional Section for NY/NJ/PA/CT and check out all the NY5THGEN events and photos!!!

I have been promoting you and the team the whole 2010 season, as you already know

We can all wear our #6 Sunoco Camaro shirts!!!

Here are the couple of questions I have for everyone.

1. How many of you would be interested in having me out to do some driver coaching at track day events? (I can ride in the right seat giving you driver tips and I can also give you hot laps showing you the proper way to drive a Camaro FAST!!!)
2. How many of you would follow me if I did a video series on a blog that gives driving tips on and off race tracks?
3. How many of you would follow me if I did a video series on new after market Camaro products that I took to race tracks testing them and giving my feedback on how well they really perform?
4. What other things would you be interested in me covering if I had a Camaro Performance Driving Blog/video?

Btw....I am still working on my 2011 racing plans! At this point it looks good I will be back in the #6 Sunoco Camaro racing in Grand-Am.

I am a huge, huge fan of the Camaro and I really want to share my knowledge on what I have learned about the Camaro as I have raced it and done most of the development work on the Camaro Race Car.

Cheers!

Of course, I'm not in the USA, so wouldn't be able to follow around those race events, but definately interested in learning how to drive race cars, considering I own one. LOL

Can you guys also give me your opionion on who are the top 3 after market performance parts for the Camaros?

I only purchase the best brands for my vehicle, not the best marketed. My performance installer has a team that includes engineers, tranny / gear specialists, machinists, et al. They, do serious research and do serious custom work for experienced drivers.
MBRP exhaust, Dynatech Headers, and Fastlane CAI just to name a few of the better "unknown" brands.

I would love to see:

1) a mod list for the Sunoco Camaro
2) weight reduction steps
3) must have mods
4) where you get the cool hood pins?
5) what is the red ring for that sticks out of the grill and the rear?
6) more pictures of the Sunoco Camaro
7) why did you change front spoilers from the original?
8) maybe a member journal / build journal
9) What size wheels do you run?

I could keep going.... I am a big fan of the Sunoco Camaro

SilverFoxx · 12-02-2010, 03:14 PM

Definetely interested in all the above. Hope to make it out to Phoenix in April. Love to see you come out and do something at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana.

MarkSS · 12-02-2010, 03:18 PM

#1 - would be cool but my primary track is BIR
#2 - Definitely, more interested in on track, how to deal with the weight and understeer especially.
#3 - Definitely, what mods are streetable, but improve track performance the most. Alignment settings and tire pressure info as well would be great.
