You are correct! The monster horsepower is irrelevant in the turn. The same results would occur with 300hp. That picture was taken at the back kink at about 95mph. The TVS supercharger only adds about 60lbs to the car. In our testing, we found the extra 60 lbs to have very little effect on the car compared its 4000 lb curb weight. It is equivalent to the weight of 8 gallons of gas.

Here is a turn at 35-40mph...Yeehaw!

YES IT IS! Once the suspension upgrades are done, the car will be even more fun.

So let me get this straight. You've taken a stock $34K ish production car, added monster power and some weight, took it to a world class raceway, and are complaining about the body roll? Especially since I am considering you over lingenfelter... Maybe we could give the Stock Camaro a little credit where credit is due...

Again I'm sure there's room for improvement. But it seemed like you were passing quite a few race ready cars...
The 2010 Camaro is a hot car no doubt. It is a blast to drive on the street. MTI Racing does its testing so we can see what happens, and improve upon it. Laptimes can be skewed by the monster horsepower, so our main objective is manufacture some great suspension right away so you can carve up the mountain roads.
