And guess what? Students drive Grand Sports, Z06s and ZR1s. Instructors drive Camaro 1LEs, on the track at the same time, which tells you how good these Camaros are for both handling and durability.

Schroth also makes a Rallye 3 harness for that is only $170 per seat, it bolts into existing locations so no harness bar is required. It also has an anti-submarining feature so it is DOT legal as well. I may go this route depending n the recaros are with the stock 3 point.

Great to hear a similar story!
This past Thursday and Friday I spent both days at NJMP with my 1LE. I completely flushed and bleed the brake fluid with RBF 600 and had a similar alignment done. I had a great time even though the temperature was in the high 90's and hit 101F after lunch and the track would get fairly slimy after multiple run sessions. Regardless the car was impressively neutral and well balanced around the entire track. It took a little while for me to build confidence with the brakes as I have never driven such a heavy car and I am not used doing track days on stock brake pads and tires. I previously owned and STi and a BMW that were both well prepared and on Toyo RA1 or BFG R1. Like you I found the Goodyears to be very predictable and capable of being pushed just a bit harder than I would have guessed. My best lap was a 1:20.624 during the morning session of Friday. Though I have been to many other tracks I had never been to NJMP. I participated in the time trial in the afternoon. My three laps were as follows: 1:22.073, 1:21.858, 1:21.519 which is fairly consistent once the tires warm up, so I was happy with that. I don't have any pictures yet but I will share as soon as I can. Cheers! Abdi |

I really, really like that harness cornerspeed92! I gotta get me one if I am ever to hit the track. Would be scary to hit the curves hard without it

Orange Crush, we need to go together one of these times. My car is in the shop right now but once it's out I'm itching to get out on the track and test the car out. Great story you shared and the pictures speak volumes! I have some track time but not nearly enough in a street car and mostly drag strip racing. But I have driven other high performance machines and I did the SRT Track Experience even in the rain in rear-wheel drive cars around Sonoma. Talk about exciting...

cornerspeed, I'm liking that harness set up. I'm a little concerned about the risk of a rollover accident and the harness keeping my head in harm's way, as I don't plan on adding a roll bar. I'd like to see how good the upcoming Recaros are at keeping me in place with the stock belts. Plus I'm hoping they won't be ridiculously expensive, as they will be made in volume for lots of Camaro customers. Do you think a seat upgrade would be sufficient? I'm also planning on getting one of those seat belt locks.
