Great find! Thanks for posting!

Amazing how much better the cars are now.

I think you'd be surprised how difficult it would be to beat a thirdgen on the autoX or Road Race course with a SS 5thgen. Thirdgen suspension design truly was ahead of its time. Not to mention all the pounds the camaro has packed on since 92.

No. I run faster than any 5thgen SS I've run against. 1LE will beat me depending on driver.

Only partially in the front. Springs, struts, GW del-a-lum bushings, and CC plates for a more competitive alignment. The rest is new but stock.

Rear is worn out stock.

Car is a 92 RS, 305tbi (under 200hp), T5, 3.42, stock wheels with BFG sport comp 2's, and full interior.

Thank you. I researched, pieced together and installed it all myself.

Iowa International Raceway. 1Km it think. Used to be a very reputable go kart track, now its only used for autoX once a month, sometimes twice. I've never looked at my speedo but my buddy's ZL1 with HUD said he can hit 60 in the back straightway.
