We have not done one on a Camaro yet ourselves. We will be doing some significant testing next week in Texas, but will not be doing it on a base line car due to time constraints

Our SS test car just showed up last weekend.. we should have it tested withing the next two weeks (we have a trip to Columbus OH sucking up next week)

We will do:

200-ft skidpad
420-ft slalom (70 foot cones)
60-0 braking

Will be done bone stock. Then we will start swaping stuff out and retesting. We will also base chassis dyno the car before we start trying to get more power. I will shoot you our base numbers when I get them.. at least it will give you an idea.

Here's an old video of our slalom test. Motor trend uses s wider spacing on thier cones, but typically test older cars.
